Planning precedent report

We, daa plc intend to seek planning permission for development on 4no. sites located entirely within lands in the ownership of Dublin Airport, including 2no. sites at the Airfield in the townlands of Collinstown, Coultry, and Huntstown, Co. Dublin, 1no. of which incorporates part of Pier 3 and surrounding aircraft stands, aircraft stands to the south of Pier 2, Apron Taxiway 4, Taxiway F-2, Runway 16/34 (the crosswind runway), Taxiway W1 and W2, West Apron; and 1no. of which incorporates an existing airside site compound, south of the West Apron; 1no. area of land to the west of the existing Western Compound, south of the R108, north-west of the Airport, in the townland of Pickardstown, Co. Dublin, also to be known as the Western Compound; and 1no. an area of existing hardstanding to the south-west of the Airport, north of the R108, to be known as the Southern Compound, in the townland of Portmellick, Co. Dublin. The proposed development will consist of the construction of a subterranean Underpass of Runway 16/34, a critical airfield operational safety project, which will comprise: a) A twin-cell enclosed tunnel with 2 no. lanes in each direction, linked to the surface by ramps, portals, and light attenuation screen (1.8m in height above existing ground level at the west ramp and 3.3m in height above existing ground level at the east ramp). The enclosed section will be approximately 0.7 km long, with an overall alignment of approximately 1.1 km in length from top of ramp to top of ramp. It will be approximately 24m in external width, and approximately 5.5m in internal height from road to tunnel ceiling. It will be up to 17.5m below existing ground level; b) Plant room, of approximately 625m2, which will comprise housing for transformers, pumps, controls and communications equipment, located underground at the portal of the east ramp, a parking layby and utilities corridor crossing; c) Demolition (approximately 23,741m2) and reinstatement (approximately 16,216m2) of part of the pavement surfaces of Apron Taxiway 4, Taxiway F-2, Runway 16/34 (the crosswind runway), Taxiway W1 and W2, and the West Apron; d) Access roads to tie in with the existing airside road network at each end of the proposed Underpass (at Pier 3 on the Eastern Campus and the West Apron on the Western campus respectively), and 31no. car parking spaces at surface level at Pier 3; e) Demolition (approximately 97m2) of fixed links (elevated enclosed passenger walkways leading from the Pier to Aircraft Nodes) and Nodes (structures which provide support for the fixed links and internal pedestrian access cores to ground level) serving 3 no. aircraft stands and associated airbridges (passenger boarding bridges) at Level 20 (departure gates) of Pier 3. To the south of Pier 3, an existing airbridge is to be removed and an existing fixed link is to be adjusted to service existing stands in that area; f) Replacement of the demolished fixed links and nodes with 3no. new fixed links, A (approximately 356m2), B (approximately 227m2) and C (approximately 170m2) and of approximately 150m, 95m and 70m in length respectively and approximately 2.2m in width and approximately 3.2m in height, at a maximum height of approximately 7.1m above the surrounding apron; 3no. two-storey Nodes A, B and C, approximately 157m2, 154m2 and 148m2 in area respectively; and 2 no. airbridges (1no. at Node A and 1no. at Node B). g) Modifications to the elevations of Pier 3 at Level 20 to accommodate the links and airbridges, including part replacement of the existing glazing with new glazing/cladding, and a new cladded portal with new doors and access control at each new fixed link location; rearrangement of part of the internal floorspace of Level 20, including a new partition between the entrance/ exits of proposed fixed links A and B; new surface water drainage network; and 31no. car parking spaces at surface level; h) Realignment of stands on the Eastern Campus resulting in the net loss of three Narrow Body Enabled (NBE) stands and net gain of one Wide Body (WB) stand at Pier 3; i) Realignment of aircraft stands in the West Apron (involving rearranging /relocating stands by way of new paint markings on the apron pavement) to accommodate the portal and Underpass access roads (no net change in number of stands); j) Modifications to existing drainage network in the vicinity of the proposed Underpass including replacement of existing attenuation system, and construction of a new drainage network for the proposed Underpass, including sump pit with pumps, interceptors, and new attenuation tank; k) Temporary diversion of the Airfield Trunk Culvert during construction and its reinstatement at the existing alignment and level; I) Construction of a new underground pipe network (6no. new pipes) to allow for future drainage infrastructure/surface water management measures; m) Realignment of stands at Pier 2 on the Eastern Campus (no net change in number of stands); n) All ancillary airport infrastructure including additional apparatus/equipment including jet blast fencing, Fixed Electrical Ground Power (FEGP), Advanced Visual Docking Guidance System (AVDGS), Stand Number Indicator Board (SNIB), Fuel Hydrants, High Mast Lighting (HML), electrical charging facilities, and miscellaneous ground service equipment (GSE) parking and storage areas; o) The proposed development also includes (i) a new Western Compound adjacent to the existing Western Compound located south of the R108, north­ west of the Airport, with a new access off the R108, to be used for pre-screening for deliveries going airside, and to include an airside pass office, parking for construction staff, as well as storage areas, and general logistics; (ii) the provision of a new Southern Compound to the north of the R108, to the south west of the Airport, to be utilised as a lorry waiting area for HGVs.

A proposed development comprising the taking of a ‘relevant action’ only within the meaning of Section 34C of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended, at Dublin Airport, Co. Dublin, in the townlands of Collinstown, Toberbunny, Commons, Cloghran, Corballis, Coultry, Portmellick, Harristown, Shanganhill, Sandyhill, Huntstown, Pickardstown, Dunbro, Millhead, Kingstown, Barberstown, Forrest Great, Forrest Little and Rock on a site of c. 580 ha. The proposed relevant action relates to the night-time use of the runway system at Dublin Airport. It involves the amendment of the operating restriction set out in condition no. 3(d) and the replacement of the operating restriction in condition no. 5 of the North Runway Planning Permission (Fingal County Council Reg. Ref. No. F04A/1755; ABP Ref. No. PL06F.217429 as amended by Fingal County Council F19A/0023, ABP Ref. No. ABP-305289-19), as well as proposing new noise mitigation measures. Conditions no. 3(d) and 5 have not yet come into effect or operation, as the construction of the North Runway on foot of the North Runway Planning Permission is ongoing. The proposed relevant action, if permitted, would be to remove the numerical cap on the number of flights permitted between the hours of 11pm and 7am daily that is due to come into effect in accordance with the North Runway Planning Permission and to replace it with an annual night-time noise quota between the hours of 11.30pm and 6am and also to allow flights to take off from and/or land on the North Runway (Runway 10L 28R) for an additional 2 hours i.e. 2300 hrs to 2400hrs and 0600 hrs to 0700 hrs. Overall, this would allow for an increase in the number of flights taking off and/or landing at Dublin Airport between 2300 hrs and 0700 hrs over and above the number stipulated in condition no. 5 of the North Runway Planning Permission, in accordance with the annual night time noise quota. The relevant action pursuant to Section 34C (1) (a) is: To amend condition no. 3(d) of the North Runway Planning Permission (Fingal County Council Reg. Ref. No. F04A/1755; ABP Ref. No.: PL06F.217429 as amended by Fingal County Council F19A/0023, ABP Ref. No. ABP-305289-19). Condition 3(d) and the exceptions at the end of Condition 3 state the following: ‘3(d). Runway 10L-28R shall not be used for take-off or landing between 2300 hours and 0700 hours except in cases of safety, maintenance considerations, exceptional air traffic conditions, adverse weather, technical faults in air traffic control systems or declared emergencies at other airports.’ Permission is being sought to amend the above condition so that it reads: ‘Runway 10L-28R shall not be used for take-off or landing between 0000 hours and 0559 hours except in cases of safety, maintenance considerations, exceptional air traffic conditions, adverse weather, technical faults in air traffic control systems or declared emergencies at other airports or where Runway 10L-28R length is required for a specific aircraft type.’ The net effect of the proposed change, if permitted, would change the normal operating hours of the North Runway from the 0700hrs to 2300 hrs to 0600 hrs to 0000 hrs. The relevant action also is: To replace condition no. 5 of the North Runway Planning Permission (Fingal County Council Reg. Ref. No. F04A/1755; ABP Ref. No.: PL06F.217429 as amended by Fingal County Council F19A/0023, ABP Ref. No. ABP-305289-19) which provides as follows: 5. On completion of construction of the runway hereby permitted, the average number of night time aircraft movements at the airport shall not exceed 65/night (between 2300 hours and 0700 hours) when measured over the 92 day modelling period as set out in the reply to the further information request received by An Bord Pleanála on the 5th day of March, 2007. Reason: To control the frequency of night flights at the airport so as to protect residential amenity having regard to the information submitted concerning future night time use of the existing parallel runway'. With the following: A noise quota system is proposed for night time noise at the airport. The airport shall be subject to an annual noise quota of 7990 between the hours of 2330hrs and 0600hrs. In addition to the proposed night time noise quota, the relevant action also proposes the following noise mitigation measures: - A noise insulation grant scheme for eligible dwellings within specific night noise contours; - A detailed Noise Monitoring Framework to monitor the noise performance with results to be reported annually to the Aircraft Noise Competent Authority (ANCA), in compliance with the Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Act 2019. The proposed relevant action does not seek any amendment of conditions of the North Runway Planning Permission governing the general operation of the runway system (i.e., conditions which are not specific to nighttime use, namely conditions no. 3 (a), 3(b), 3(c) and 4 of the North Runway Planning Permission) or any amendment of permitted annual passenger capacity of the Terminals at Dublin Airport. Condition no. 3 of the Terminal 2 Planning Permission (Fingal County Council Reg. Ref. No. F04A/1755; ABP Ref. No. PL06F.220670) and condition no. 2 of the Terminal 1 Extension Planning Permission (Fingal County Council Reg. Ref. No. F06A/1843; ABP Ref. No. PL06F.223469) provide that the combined capacity of Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 together shall not exceed 32 million passengers per annum. The planning application will be subject to an assessment by the Aircraft Noise Competent Authority in accordance with the Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulations Act 2019 and Regulation (EU) No 598/2014. The planning application is accompanied by information provided for the purposes of such assessment. An Environmental Impact Assessment Report will be submitted with the planning application. The planning application and Environmental Impact Assessment Report may be inspected or purchased at a fee not exceeding the reasonable cost of making a copy, at the offices of the Planning Authority during its public opening hours of 9.30 - 16.30 (Monday – Friday) at Fingal County Council, Fingal County Hall, Main Street, Swords, Fingal, Co.
