ABP decision making ‘irrational’, says judge

A self-builder is a step closer to building his home near his organic farm after a High Court judge ordered An Bord Pleanála (ABP) to review its decision to deny him planning permission.

Bord Pleanála (ABP) showed “notable flaw[s]” in its reasoning when it turned down an appeal by an organic farmer who had applied to build a house on his landholding, ruled High Court judge Justice Barrett on 27th July.
