Residents in Dundrum, Co Dublin, are to object to an application to develop land that was formerly part of Airfield urban farm.
Cicol Ltd has applied to develop apartments and a leisure centre on land known as Dudley's Field, sold by the Airfield Trust in 2005 for over €16 million.
The land is currently zoned for open space and amenity, but residential development is "open for consideration".
Councillors re- zoned the land in 2004 to protect it from unwanted development.

The proposal includes 62 apartments, a leisure centre, creche and retail facilities in five blocks of two to four storeys on the major part of the 3.5 acre field. It also contains 136 parking spaces and access via Overend Way.
