Board refuses planning for Ballinhassig houses after fisheries board objections

BORD Pleanála has refused a developer permission to build 112 houses in a village, west of Cork city, following South Western Regional Fisheries Board objections.

And in north Cork, a large housing project in Doneraile was also blocked by the planning appeals’ body.

Developer Michael Keane, had sought to build 112 houses, two play areas and a temporary wastewater treatment plant on a 9.2 hectare site at Ballinaboy, Ballinhassig. The western part of the site borders the River Owenabue.
