Councillor says planning policies far too stringent

ANGER with planning policies in Kerry is about to boil over, it was claimed yesterday.

Councillors said they were hoping for a new approach from recently appointed county manager Tom Curran, who met Fianna Fáil councillors on the issue before the annual meeting in Tralee two weeks ago.

Despite promises that favourable treatment would be given for one-off houses on family-owned land, people were still finding it extremely difficult to get planning permission, FF Cllr Michael Cahill warned.
