Cork pub owner granted permission to keep extension despite elderly neighbour’s objections

A long-running dispute ended after the planning commission approved the Joshua Tree Bar’s garden room extension with strict new conditions

In his submission, the resident said the noise from the extension was “considerable and unbearable,” adding that it interfered with his private property.

A Cork city pub has been granted permission to retain a garden room extension by the planning commission after an appeal by a local resident.

Pub owner William Creagh received approval from the city council in July to retain a single-storey garden room extension at the Joshua Tree Bar at 69–70 Blarney Street.
