The DAA has received an extension of three months to provide additional information for its planning application to build a dedicated viewing platform for plane spotters at Dublin Airport, following delays in the planning process.
The proposed platform aims to enhance the experience for enthusiasts who currently use The Mound, providing amenities such as shelter, seating, and improved views of the south runway and cross runway.
Fingal County Council expressed concerns regarding the absence of toilets in the original proposal and requested electric vehicle charging points, bicycle parking adjustments, and a traffic survey to be included in the plans.
The planning department emphasized the need for better facilities at the observation site, advocating for eco toilets and improved access, as they seek to create a welcoming space for the community to engage with aviation activities.
