Appeals board rules against €20m biodiesel plant
Earlier this year, Cork County Council gave farmer and developer Dennis Howard permission to build a 100,000-tonne biodiesel production plant on an 11-acre family-owned site on rolling farmland near Kildorrery in North Cork.
The project was given the green light despite advice from a senior council planner that the site, on what was once the demesne of Bowens’ Court Country House, was unsuitable.
