Plans for new Padel Tennis club in Cork refused after appeal

Unsuccessful appeal follows a refusal at the city council level

Padel Tennis Ireland Ltd applied for permission to the city council in July 2025 for the development on the Bandon Road N71

The developers behind plans to construct a padel tennis facility in Cork have been refused permission by the planning commission following an appeal.

Cork City Council turned down plans for a new large-scale Padel facility in Bishopstown, stating that the zoning of the proposed site “does not provide for sports facilities”.
