OLG – Rezoning High Court Case

The Judicial Review that two residents of The Grove took in respect of the SHD student residence development on the Our Lady’s Grove campus was successful. Although the judgement has been made and the case won, the current situation is that the Judge’s final decision regarding whether it should be sent back to the Board for reconsideration or simply quashed, is now linked to a separate High Court action being taken by the developer. Colbeam has taken a case against Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council in respect of the Council rezoning the site in the latest County Development Plan.

Edit 17/9/24: The current High Court case (Colbeam vs DLRCoCo) has recently resulted in the judge instructing the Councillors to vote on whether or not the Council CEO should defend the case. This vote was passed unanimously. The case is ongoing.
