Dingle pub refused retention permission for beer garden

Refusal by An Bord Pleanála is the second prioritising residential over commercial

An Bord Pleanála ruled in line with its inspector, refusing permission for the beer garden at Bob Griffin's Pub, Dingle.

A beer garden at the back of a pub in the centre of Dingle has been refused retention permission by An Bord Pleanála, upholding a Kerry County Council decision.

The refusal by An Bord Pleanála is the second in recent weeks where residential amenities in Dingle have been given priority over commercial, with a change of use from dwelling to holiday let in a residential estate also turned down.
