Glounthaune planning decision for 55 houses reversed

An Bord Pleanála has reversed Cork County Council decision to grant planning permission for 55 new houses in Glounthaune.

It upheld an appeal by a number of local residents against the council’s approval for a housing development on four-hectares at Lackenroe and Ballynarron — around 500m outside the centre of the east Cork village — albeit for different reasons.
