Summary
Fingal County Council refused Manna's application to retain planning permission for its Coolmine (Dublin 15/Blanchardstown) drone delivery hub, ruling its noise impact assessment failed to show the operation would not cause serious noise pollution; Manna subsequently ceased drone delivery operations in the Dublin 15 area.
