Planners reject recycling facility proposal for north Cork

Plans for a recycling facility next to a controversial waste transfer plant on Cork’s northside have been rejected.

City planners confirmed they have refused permission to Greener Families Ltd to develop its civic amenity and bring-site in an industrial estate off John F Connelly Rd, Churchfield.

The decision has been hailed as a victory for local residents who were staunchly opposed to the development of any more waste-related facilities in the industrial estate, which is close to housing estates, a soccer club, and shops.
