Planning granted for scheme of 121 homes

Permission for a scheme of more than 100 new homes in Portmarnock, north Co Dublin, has been granted.

The withdrawal of a third-party appeal on the case came almost exactly a year after plans were first lodged with Fingal County Council.

Circleside Ltd had received permission in January in relation to the proposal for the six-acre site at Station Road, situated between The Kilns and The Links. It was planned to knock an existing house on the site, where 65 houses and 56 apartments in a four-storey building were proposed to be constructed.
