QUESTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy

To ask the Chief Executive Officer for an update on the planning permission and recently commenced construction of a new privately owned cemetery at Esker Road and the planning conditions regarding construction traffic, protection of wildlife and the development of a green route by the Cemetery to Vesey park and if he will make a statement on the matter.

REPLY:

Planning permission was granted in December 2012, following an appeal to An Bord Pleanala. The full decision of ABP is attached. Condition 9 (Green Link), Condition 11 (Bat Management) , Condition 12 (Badger Management and Protection Plan) and Condition 13 are all relevant to this query.

Condition 9 requires agreement with the Planning Authority. The applicant submitted information to the Planning Authority in September 2020 and the Planning Authority has deemed the submission partially compliant. Details of this correspondence are available on the public file at http://www.sdublincoco.ie/Planning/Details?p=1&r=sd10a%2F0331&regref=SD10A%2F0331

Please note that an Extension of Duration of the permission was granted in 2017.
