Planners shoot down proposals for student homes in Ringaskiddy

Local objectors to the proposals said the 'nightlife requirements of students are not available in Ringaskiddy'

Plans for 56 build-to-rent student houses on the main street in Ringaskiddy have been rejected because it would “seriously injure the residential amenities of the area”, An Bord Pleanála has said.

Local objectors to the proposals, which would have included 28 five-to-seven bed student houses, said the “nightlife requirements of students are not available in Ringaskiddy” and raised concerns about anti-social behaviour that could arise in the future.
