Development of the kind referred to in the Question would require planning permission under section 34 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended. The consideration of such an application would involve consideration of the requirements of the Environmental Impact Assessment Directive 2011/92/EU , and the Habitats Directive 1992/48/EEC, as transposed in the Planning Act. A consultation with the public and relevant statutory bodies would also be part of the application process.

Decisions on planning applications are made by planning authorities or An Bord Pleanála as appropriate and I have no role in relation to the matter.
