A Cork City resident is facing having to remove a storage facility for bicycles and wheelie bins in the driveway of his suburban family home after being denied planning permission for the structure by An Bord Pleanála.

The board rejected an appeal by Denis O’Regan against the decision of Cork City Council to refuse retention permission for the 5.3sq m timber-clad structure at the front of his house at Maryville, Ballintemple, Cork.
