An Taisce examining decision to grant planning permission to €80m Cork event centre

Any possible appeal of a planning decision or of the conditions must be made to An Bórd Pleanála within four weeks of the local authority’s decision. It is also open to an applicant to appeal the conditions attached.

The heritage group An Taisce says it’s still examining the decision to grant planning permission for the €80m Cork event centre ahead of next week’s deadline for possible appeals.

It is understood the charity, which has previously expressed concerns about the decision to locate the proposed 6,000-capacity venue on the former Beamish and Crawford site, and which has expressed concerns about its design and impact on views in the heart of the Medieval city, is carefully considering its position arising out of Cork City Council’s decision to grant planning for the project, with 48 conditions, on October 10 last.
