An Bord Pleanála has 'nothing to add' on deputy chair's failure to declare ownership of Cork site

The site owned by Paul Hyde is located beside the refused Hewitts Mills development in Blackpool 

An Bord Pleanála last month refused planning permission for a strategic housing development in Blackpool.

An Bord Pleanála has said it has “nothing further to add” regarding the fact its deputy chair failed to declare ownership of a site in Cork city beside a proposed housing development which it recently refused.

Last month ABP refused planning permission for a strategic housing development (SHD) in Blackpool, which would have seen the construction of 191 build-to-rent apartments and the renovation of a former distillery mills, Hewitts Mills.
