Appeal lodged against decision made for disaster recovery centre
By Aideen Flaherty
A COMPANY linked to billionaire businessman Denis O’Brien has lodged an appeal against South Dublin County Council’s decision to refuse retention permission for a disaster recovery centre in Baldonnel Business Park.
Jepview Ltd, with an address in Clonskeagh, lodged an application for retention permission for the change of use of an approved ground floor warehouse/factory area (455sq.m) to a disaster recovery/business continuity centre in Unit G of the business park last October.

Retention permission was also sought for the change of use of approved ancillary offices at ground and first floor (459sq.m) to office use, and an extension at first floor area (81sq.m) to provide staff toilets and server room.
Provision of an external generator plant enclosure and all associated ancillary works necessary to facilitate the development was included in the plans.
The local authority refused retention permission last December, as they stated that the plans didn’t align with the zoning of the area, which is zoned for employment and enterprise.
