A property development firm that owns a large parcel of land near Cornelscourt village in south Dublin has successfully challenged a vacant site levy of â¬840,000.
An Bord Pleanála has instructed Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council to cancel its demand for Cornel Living to pay the levy for 2019 in relation to a 1.9-hectare site off the Old Bray Road in Foxrock.
The board had refused planning permission for a proposal by Cornel Living to build 452 build-to-rent apartments and 16 houses on the site in April 2020 because of the developmentâs failure to provide adequate communal space and the lack of adequate waste-water infrastructure in the area.
