Stadium development - Long road to a redeveloped Lansdowne
The request for planning permission was supposed to have been submitted by the Lansdowne Road Stadium Development Company before Christmas of 2005, but this was not done until mid-January of this year. As a result, the completion date has been revised to the summer of 2009.
City planners sought 106 additional pieces of information, which the development company plan to submit by August. The project is then likely to come in for objections from local residents, who complain that their houses will be in the shadow of the stadium for most of the year.
