An amendment to Planning Permission reference F19A/0084 as granted in respect of a new Thermal Storage Tank and all associated site works. The development will consist of: Replacement of the permitted single 250m3 horizontal storage vessel with 3 no. 80m3 vertical Thermal Storage Tanks arranged in series connection and all associated site works on a site of 418.68 sq.m. The tanks will measure 8m high by 3.8m diameter and have a combined capacity of 240m3 for the storage of hot water. They will be used to store excess heat and improve the energy efficiency of the existing Combined Heat and Power Plant serving Terminal 2.

The installation of the Thermal Storage tank permitted under Planning Reg Ref. F19A/0084 at a revised location to the east of the Terminal 2 Energy Centre, along with all associated site works including the erection of a new boundary fence around the Thermal Storage Tank. The tanks dimensions (16m x 4.8 m) and capacity (250m3) will remain unchanged. It will, as previously permitted, be used to store excess heat and improve the energy efficiency of the existing combined Heat and Power Plant serving Terminal 2.

The proposed development will consist of: (1) the reconfiguration and expansion of the existing 2-storey US Customs and Border protection (CBP) pre-clearance facility, which will consist of: (1a) the demolition of: 2no. existing Pier 4 link bridges; 2no. external vertical circulation cores (VCC) and 2no. airbridges; part of the north, east and south elevations of the existing CBP facility (c.309m 2 ), including external footpaths, ramps and handrails; and part of the existing apron pavement (c. 5,000m 2); (1b) internal reconfiguration of part of Pier 4 and the existing CBP facility and the construction of an expanded 2-storey, part 3-storey CBP facility to the east of the existing CBP facility (c. 6,419m 2 ), to include: (i) pre-clearance passenger processing facilities at Level 10 (ground floor), including 5 no. entry E-gates, queuing areas, 8no. screening lanes (including 1no. for training/contingency and 1no. for staff access (no increase in number of existing passenger screening lanes), 22no. booths, transit lounge area, welfare facilities, and ancillary staff facilities; (ii) lounge, retail/food and beverage area, swing gateroom, welfare facilities, airline lounge, staff facilities, including ancillary offices at Level 15 (first floor); (iii) construction of 2no. external vertical circulation cores (VCC); (iv) construction of a new link bridge at Level 20 (second floor) to the existing Terminal 2 building and all associated works; (v) fallow space at Level 10 and Level 20 to allow for future CBP security facilities, and a lift core extending to Level 30 (third floor (part)) to safeguard for future expansion, to merge with the remaining parts of the existing facility at Pier 4; (vi) ancillary external structures to the extended roof, including rooflights, external balustrade and handrail; fixed metal roof walkway; and fall protection anchorage system; (vii) realignment of the existing airside road; the provision of new airside road; and the provision of pedestrian walkways and zebra crossings; and (viii) the reorganisation of an existing airside operations car parking area to provide 15no. airside operations car parking spaces; the provision of 2no. PRM airside operations parking spaces, 2no. platinum passenger parking spaces, 2no. GIWA (goods vehicles) spaces, and 2no. bus set down areas. (1c) decommissioning of existing operational aircraft stand 409 L/C/R, and the provision of temporary MARS operational aircraft stand 409T accommodating 2no. Code C or 1no Code E aircraft, as well as the realignment of the existing apron by way of new paint markings on the apron pavement. (2) the partial demolition (c. 3,320m 2 ), refurbishment and upgrade of the existing 2-storey former Flight Catering Building, to become the South Apron Support Centre (SASC), which, together with its existing external hardstanding area to the north-west of the SASC, is to be used initially as a temporary construction compound (office storage and a pre-screening/ logistics/ staff welfare facilties) for the proposed works to the CBP facility, and then for continued use as an Airport Operational Building for airside support/operations, which will consist of: (2a) upgrade of the façade of the existing SASC building, to include partial demolition of the later attritions/extensions to the south and west flanks of the building; demolition of the existing pedestrian link bridge to Shamrock House to the east (making good the elevation of Shamrock House to match the existing), and demolition of an existing substation internal to the building; (2b) the refurbishment of the remaining SASC structure to provide offices, meeting rooms, staff welfare facilities, storage and plant rooms on the ground and first floors, and refurbished rooftop plant enclosure and new rooftop balustrades (c. 5,043m 2 ), as well as an external dining courtyard at ground floor; (2c) the provision of 10no. visitor car parking spaces, 2no. PRM visitor car parking spaces and 80no. cycle storage racks; (2d) revised external pedestrian and vehicular circulation arrangements; and (2e) separate external smoking shelter and separate external bin storage. The proposed development at the existing CBP and SASC buildings will also require the diversion and extension of the existing watermain on site, and a new foul and surface water drainage system, including a proposed future clean only pipeline for future diversion of roof runoff from the CBP building. The proposed development also includes all associated site development and landscaping works, and all ancillary airport infrastructure including additional apparatus/ equipment, as well as High Mast Lighting (HML). The proposed development will not result in any increase in passenger or operational capacity at Dublin Airport. There will also be no increase in staff parking, either airside or landside, as a result of the proposed development. The planning application is accompanied by an Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR). Site of the existing 2-storey US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) pre-clearance facility at Pier 4, Terminal 2 (c. 1.765ha), and the site of the existing 2-storey former Flight Catering Building to the southeast of the Terminal 2 building (c. 0.86 ha), in the townlands of Corballis and Collinstown, Dublin Airport, Co.
