Photograph: Bryan O'BrienA High Court challenge has been brought against a decision by An Bord Pleanála that a Dublin property owner must pay a vacant side levy of over €364,000.
The company, which the High Court heard plans to develop the site, acquired the property in 2017. In 2018 Dublin City Council said it intended to place the site on its vacant site register. The company rejects the claim that the site was vacant but did not appeal the decision to enter it on the register. This was because the firm had obtained planning permission and intended to develop the site which it accepts is suitable for housing.
The company says the decision is unfair, unlawful and should be set aside. Represented by Tom Flynn SC, with Ellen O’Callaghan, the applicant, in proceedings against the board, seeks an order quashing the board’s decision to uphold the levy. Counsel said that the board’s decision was irrational, and it failed to give reasons for finding that the site is vacant.
