Planning permission granted for apartment complex on site of former pub in Cork city

Planning permission has been granted for the development of an apartment complex on the site of a well-known former pub in Cork city, despite objections from a number of local residents including a city councillor.

An Bord Pleanála rejected the recommendation of its own planning inspector in upholding the decision of Cork City Council to approve the demolition of the Glenanaar pub in Ballinlough and construction of two four-storey blocks containing 26 apartments on the site.
