Planning board denies incinerator objectors extra time

AN BORD PLEANÁLA has refused Cork harbour residents — who have spent nine years fighting against the construction of a €150 million Indaver incinerator — further time to investigate new documentation supplied by the waste management company.

An Bord Pleanála had described this supplementary information as “significant”.

In April 2010, Indaver requested an extension so it could work further on information requests from An Bord Pleanála and was granted an extra three months.
