Couple appeals planning for holiday home development

A HUSBAND and wife have lodged an appeal with An Bord Pleanála against the decision of Waterford County Council to grant planning permission for a €52 million hotel and holiday home development close to the resort of Clonea outside Dungarvan.

The developers, Dublin- based Greenbirch Ltd, say that the development will create 110 full-time and 43 part-time jobs.

However, Tim Foley and his wife Carrie, who live close to the proposed development at Ballinacourty, have lodged an objection to the local authority decision with An Bord Pleanála, citing a number of reasons why they believe planning permission should be refused.
