Youghal public toilet to be demolished despite local objections

Plans for the demolition of a former public toilet and council store near the promenade in Youghal have been approved, despite objections from local residents.

An Bord Pleanála has rejected an appeal by Knockaverry Strand Residents’ Association against the decision of Cork County Council to grant planning permission for the demolition of the two buildings at the Front Strand in the East Cork town to allow for the construction of a “granny flat”.
