€60m Limerick development shot down by planners

Plans for office, hotel and residential development in Limerick City rejected by An Bord Pleanála on grounds of substandard accommodation

The proposed development at Parkway, Limerick.

Plans for a €60m mixed-used office, hotel and residential development, including a landmark 14-storey apartment block in Limerick City have been rejected by An Bord Pleanála on grounds of its substandard accommodation and its failure to be consistent with the zoning of the majority of the site.

About 48% of the development was earmarked for residential use in a site zoned primarily for enterprise and employment, with the office blocks only being developed in the final phase of a 10-year construction project.
