An independent councillor and local dentist have appealed the recent decision of Cork City Council to grant planning permission

A US company’s decision to withdraw plans to build a controversial plastics factory in West Cork has been hailed as a victory for people power.

The developers of one of Cork’s largest docklands projects has secured its first tenant - with more announcements in the pipeline.

An Bord Pleanála has said it will continue to prioritise large-scale housing appeals after its latest annual report showed it granted permission for more than 7,100 housing units and almost 4,500 student bed-spaces during 2018.

The Ardee Point student accommodation scheme is to be operated by “luxury high end” UK-based student accommodation operator, NIDO Student.

A landmark Irish hotel is set for a two-storey extension after permission to build was granted by the State planning agency.

An Bord Pleanála has turned down an appeal by the minister against a decision of Kildare County Council to refuse her department planning permission for a proposal to allow turf cutting at Coolree Bog near Prosperous, Co Kildare.

An Bord Pleanala is considering plans for 700 new build-to-rent apartments on Dublin's southside.

Construction has started on fewer than half of the large-scale housing and apartment schemes approved under the Government’s fast-track planning scheme.
