""DAA confirms it has initiated judicial review proceedings against An Coimisiún Pleanála. This is a technical case relating to development contributions for carparks that we consider to be ancillary to the airport operation. "Ancillary carparks are exempt from development contributions under Fingal County Council's 2016 Development Contribution Scheme.""
""The long-term car parks are surface, and ancillary to the main use of the airport," it told An Coimisuin Pleanala. "The land is owned and occupied by DAA as the airport operator [and] the revenue generated from the car parks is used to invest in the airport.""
Terminal 2 planning rules required separate applications for car parks. DAA obtained permission for an 8,840-space Holiday Blue long-term park and a 2,040-space Express Red park and paid €2.1m in development contributions. DAA applied in 2018 to make both car parks permanent. Fingal County Council demanded an additional €6.3m, treating the change from temporary to permanent as a material development. DAA rejected further levies, arguing no additional works or intensification occurred, that the car parks are ancillary and exempt under Fingal's 2016 scheme, and that revenue is reinvested in the airport.
