U2 battle for Hanover Quay...

A planning battle started in Dublin yesterday regarding the world's biggest band U2.

The Irish rockers and their legal team squared up to the Docklands Development Authority who have issued a compulsive purchasing order on their studio on Hanover Quay in Dublin (see pic below).

The studio has been home to the band for the making of their last three albums including their latest album All that You Can't leave Behind.

Chaired by Padraig Thorthon, the Deputy Planning Inspector the studio was named as "lot four" on the planners list.

Named as U2 Limited by the Chairman the names Clayton, Hewson, Mullen, Evans and McGuinness were read out to the hearing.

Dozens of waiting press hung around outside the doors of Dublin's Gresham Hotel in order to try and catch the band arriving to the hotel.

However, word came that the band would not be attending as they were away in America. But, they did have a five strong legal team in place.

U2 were named as the owner and occupiers of the studio and the their fight to stop the Irish planners from knocking down the building is expected to take the next few days.
