T Stafford and Sons Unlimited had successfully applied in 2022 for permission to construct crematorium, but this was subsequently overturned by An Bord PleanálaA High Court challenge has been brought against An Board Pleanála’s refusal to grant planning permission for a crematorium at the site of the former Tayto factory in Coolock, Dublin.

However, DCC’s decision to give the proposed electric crematorium the go-ahead was overturned by the board last February, on the grounds that the crematorium would “materially contravene” the zoning of the site, as set out in the Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028.‘I left Harold’s Cross because I wanted a kind of financial freedom that wasn’t on offer to me there’

The applicant claims in judicial review proceedings challenging the decision that the board made “a fundamental legal error” in its finding that the crematorium contravenes the development plan. The applicant says that the decision is unlawful, because the board allegedly relied on non-statutory guidance from the UK. The board allegedly treated that guidance as if it were binding and determinative of the appeal, which it is alleged amounted to a breach of fair procedures.
