High Court grants Mount Juliet residents leave to challenge removal of 'mini-Augusta' putting course

The Mount Juliet Estates Residents Group in Kilkenny claims the removal of a putting course modelled as a mini-Augusta in Georgia, USA, should not have taken place without planning permission being obtained first.

The residents have been given leave by the High Court to challenge Kilkenny County Council's April 29 decision granting the Mount Juliet developers, MJBE Investments, permission for retention of the removal of the two-acre course which was north of the Rose Garden Lodges and east of the Walled Garden in Mount Juliet, Thomastown.
