Cork shopping centre extension appealed

An appeal has been lodged in relation to the recent grant of permission for changes to the Douglas Court Shopping Centre on Cork’s southside.

At the start of August permission was granted to Douglas Developments, a firm of the Love family, in relation to the proposed amalgamation and extension of two units. The firm applied to Cork County Council in June this year to do so, with a two-storey extension to the two units planned to accommodate storage over the ground-floor retail area.

The matter is now the subject of an appeal lodged in early September by O’Flynn Construction Ltd, meaning a final decision on the file should be made by mid-January of 2015.
