Lidl refused planning for shop in Douglas by An Bord Pleanála

The planning watchdog has refused permission for the development of a Lidl supermarket in a Cork suburb for the second time, following local objections.

Cork County Council has twice given the green light to the proposed supermarket on a two-acre site between Carrigaline Rd and Churchyard Lane in the heart of Douglas village, only for An Bord Pleanála to twice overturn the decision on appeal.
