Neil Jordan row with neighbour hots up

Movie director Neil Jordan has fired a fresh salvo in his planning battle with neighbour Robin Power over a contentious 11sq m bathing changing area built without planning permission.

This follows Mr Jordan and his wife, Breda Rawn, lodging a fresh planning objection against the planning retention application for the bathing shelter by Mr Power at one of the country’s most prestigious addresses, Sorrento Terrace in Dalkey.

In April, the couple made a successful application before the High Court to have the original planning retention permission granted for the shelter quashed for the site.
