The council has officially rejected the planning application for the Warrenstown House site. It has been an exhausting road for all of us but we finally have the result we fought for. I will be keeping a close eye on the site to ensure this decision remains final.

Petition against the application for the proposed planning permission to build a community, cultural and education campus, primarily including a mosque, primary and post-primary school building, a multi-purpose events hall & all-weather playing pitch, which is to be built on the grounds of Warrenstown House, Blanchardstown Road North, Blanchardstown, Dublin 15, D15 ET27
The development is overly ambitious in scale, height, both in absolute terms and in particular to the site area and also all uses proposed.
The sheer size and scale of the complex is not fitting with the local community or its surroundings.
We the undersigned hereby petition Fingal County Council to reject the above proposal of the proposed development for the following reasons:
- The complex is planned to be built in an area which already has serious traffic congestion problems. The congestion which will become unmanageable especially during major Muslim festivals held each year (Ramadan and Pilgrimage) also with large gatherings i.e. weddings/funerals etc. impacting the college, schools, businesses and the local community in general.
- We object to the creation of an over 90ft tall minaret which will dominate the skyline from all directions.
- We object to any noise pollution from the daily call to pray (5 times a day)
- We object to the destruction of 25 mature trees on the grounds and the habitat of the wild animals they support.
- We object to the demolition of Warrenstown house itself (a landmark building in the local community).
- We object to the impact on the local community with regards to the large increase of traffic and people from outside of the area on regular occasions.

The grind to get this noticed by the council is exhausting but we are nearing the one thousand mark. If we can break through this barrier today it will be much harder for them to ignore us.

With all the factories already in this area traffic congestion is already at breaking point. I moved to this area over 40 years ago and I belive Warren's town house should be preserved. This will impact on residents with noise pollution.
I am not in favour of this development for all of the excellent reasons outlined. Fingal Co Co giving planning permission to a building which specifies segregated entrances for Men and Women is not acceptable in 2017 and is a retrograde step for our society.
Object, a disgrace the community was not engaged with on such a large scale proposal which will have a huge impact on the local community. We already have all the services proposed in this build, this will destroy the scenic surrounding area.
I live in warrwnstown green I think it's disgraceful that it would even be considered in the area. Traffic is already terrible in the area without putting a huge mosque there. Put the resources into building more houses for the homeless people in the area
The traffic along that road from ballycoolin is bumper to bumper it took 45 minutes to get from the texaco garage to the centre at 5 pm the sheer scale of this project can only further add to the conjestion along the roads in corduff
Neither needed nor wanted, it will cause traffic congession, it will be an eyesore with a 90ft minaret, as for calls to prayer, that will never be accepted in Ireland and nor should it be but above all these reasons, if land is being rezoned or built upon under different usage, it must be used to provide housing for the indigenous irish people, for our families, so our children don't have to move away or abroad in order to have a home, a life, children and career. They are needed in our country, with our people, with out culture, with our values. If people want to come to our country, they must assimilate to us not we to them. Where is the money for this mosque coming from, an NGO, a government grant?
The people in this country are still in belief in Christian ways. Turn the other cheek, love your enemy which is the opposite of Islamic teachings. Our inhabitants too trusting. They think of different religion as other Christian Islam is vengeful not forgiving. They would all live in decent places if it were not for Islam ideology & not need to come here. Irish closest dna rellatives are that of Spain. Who had to fight them for over 800 years..They have there own religious law & goverment intertwined & will put that before ours. I do not want the generations after me to be suffering like the countries these people escape from & that is inevitable if you start encouraging them to remain militant through a supposed religion. God is love here not fear. God is forgiving not vengeful.

No consultation with local community. Planning notice hidden behind shrubs.traffic study done on a Sunday morning when traffic is at its quietest .No contact by local public reps with local communities about such an extensive development
