Locals appeal permission for more than 70 homes on Kinsale GAA land

One objector claimed that developers “appear to be building homes for immediate profit without any regard for the impact on other residents locally and within the town of Kinsale”.
Locals appeal permission for more than 70 homes on Kinsale GAA land

An Bord Pleanála has set a due date of September 4 for its decision. However, it has consistently missed target dates for some time now, so a decision may not be forthcoming until well beyond this date. File picture

Planning permission granted by Cork County Council for 71 new houses on Kinsale GAA Grounds has been appealed by locals to An Bord Pleanála.

The plans for the site off the Bandon Road in the town would see the removal of existing changing rooms, a ball alley and other facilities to replace them with the new homes as well as vehicle and pedestrian access to the site. The proposed new housing development comes at a time when homes in the area are changing hands at prices well and above the national average.
