I have submitted an observation on the appeal by Tetrarch against conditions imposed by Fingal County Council as follows:

• I welcome the Council’s approval of the hospitality use of Howth Castle subject to architectural protection conditions.
• I agree with the Council’s conditions removing the proposed new road access parallel to the existing avenue and reducing the area of car parking.
• I disagree with the Council’s condition to widen a proposed footpath to a greenway and propose that Tetrarch’s own greenway proposal be added to the project instead.
