School parking plans in Cloyne get green light

Plans for new vehicular access point and expanded parking facilities at a school in Cloyne, Co Cork, have been approved despite objections from a number of local residents.

An Bord Pleanála has rejected an appeal by some residents of Spittal Cottages in the town against the decision of Cork County Council to grant planning permission for 27 extra car park spaces for staff and a coach set down area at Cloyne National School.
