Planning notes: Permission granted for Castleknock scheme

Permission has been granted for a scheme of over 200 new homes near Castleknock in Dublin 15.

After initially appealing conditions relating to local authority approval for the development, Cherryfield Courts Ltd withdrew its appeal earlier this month.

The decision of Fingal County Council to approve the 224-unit project now stands, giving permission for work on the now-amended first phase of a larger scheme of almost 440 units which was granted planning clearance in 2010.
