Grand Canal Docks planning scheme cleared

The Irish Times

The Minister for the Environment, Mr Dempsey, has given approval to the Grand Canal Docks planning scheme in Dublin. Mr Dempsey's decisions clears the way for the Dublin Docklands Development Authority (DDDA) to proceed with the implementation of a key element of its overall plan for the Dublin docklands. Applications for planning for the area will now be taken out of the normal planning process. Development in the area covered by the scheme, and which complies with it, will be exempt from the requirement to obtain planning permission.
