Planning refused for two homes 'excessively close' to cliff in Tramore

An Bord Pleanála upholds county council's decision to deny permission, citing coastal erosion concerns

Planning permission was refused for the two semi-detached properties at the Waterford beauty spot which would have been built "excessively close" to a cliff.

Planning permission has been refused for the construction of two new homes at a beauty spot overlooking the beach in Tramore, Co Waterford, because the proposed development was “excessively close” to a cliff.

An Bord Pleanála has rejected an appeal by the owners of the site against the decision of Waterford City and County Council to reject their application to build two semi-detached, two-storey houses at Gallwey’s Hill in the popular seaside resort.
