Local reps support KCC planning decision

26 May 2003: A submission to An Bord Pleanala in support of Kildare Co Council's original decision to refuse planning permission for 3 three storey and 5 four storey Blocks of apartments on the former pitch and putt course on Dunboyne Road, Maynooth has been made by local representatives Cllr John McGinley and Emmett Stagg TD.

The Council's refusal was appealed on April 29th by Tony and Tom Bean and as one of the original objectors to the proposal Cllr Mc Ginley and Deputy Stagg have exercised their right to comment on the appeal.

The main concerns about the proposal are that the 3 three storey and 5 four storey blocks of apartments will have a detrimental effect on residents of Leinster Cottages which border the site.

The view of the Lyreen River which has existed for 200 years will be blocked.

The objectors are also concerned about the Density of the proposal at 26 dwellings to the acre.
