Development description

Permission and retention: permission for development to amend the parent permission and for retention permission for development on a site of c. 15.06 hectares on lands known as the former irish glass bottle & fabrizia sites, poolbeg west, dublin
The site is located within the ''a lands' sector'' of the poolbeg west strategic development zone planning scheme (april 2019) the overall site includes some 4.3 hectares of land for which a ten year permission for enabling and infrastructual works was granted in january 2020. (reg. Ref. Pwsdz3270/19; the ''parent permission'') the element of the scheme for which retention permission for development is sought consists of the removal of two sections of tree cover cumulatively-consisting of some 100 no. Trees. The first section of tree cover (some 9 no. Trees) was located along south bank road running east to west along the northern site boundary, whilst the second section (some 91 no. Trees) was located internally within the centre of the site running south to north parallel to the east and west site boundaries ( a mixture of primarily of lawson cypress and lombardy poplar). Whilst the planning scheme facilitates and the parent permission permitted the removal of some trees, these two sections of additional tree cover were removed in contravention of condition no. 22 of planning permission reg. Ref. Pwsdz3270/19. The element of the scheme for which permission for development is sought will consist of: amendments to the ''parent permission'' (pwsdz3270/19) to provide temporarily: three rows of tree cover and associated landscaping consisting of some 100 no. Native trees (a mixture of crab apple, field maple, hawthorn, rowan, wild cherry and black alder); 1,183 sq m of native understory whip mix (a mixture of blackthorn, crab apple, elderberry, hazel, holly, spindle and hawthorn); and 1,498 sq m of native wild flowers, located within the boundary of the permitted village green, to mitigate against the biodiversity loss associated with the removal of trees on site (the temporary measure to be in place until the resolution of condition no. 19 of planning permission reg. Ref. Pwsdz3270/19, which requires agreement between the planning authority and the applicant in relation to the final landscape design of the permitted village green);the erection of rabbit-proof fencing around the proposed trees and 2 no.
