Update, 9th of July 2024: The planning application below was refused on the basis of a lack of available access from the Clay Farm Loop Road. This suggests that DLRCoCo are determined to maintain the existing character of the Kilgobbin Road but also allows for the future development of the lands once the Loop Road is provisioned.
The requirement for access to this land off the loop road was outlined on page 56 of the “Ballyogan & Environs Local Area Plan”.
