Retirement village plans rejected by An Bord Pleanála as unsustainable

PLANS for one of Ireland’s largest retirement villages have been overturned.

An Bord Pleanála yesterday refused planning permission for a multi-million euro convalescence centre near Conna, east Cork.

A number of local objectors, including Séamus and Helen Hogan from Belvedere House, Templevalley, were joined by An Taisce in opposing the project promoted by west Cork businessman Danny Lordan.
