An Bord Pleanala ignores their own inspector and grants permission for Bullock Harbour development

HERE’S THE BAD NEWS re the proposed Bartra development for Bullock Harbour. In today’s post (2 July 2019) a letter from An Bord Pleanala with the decision to “GRANT permission for the above proposed development …”. The letter is long and not easily captured in a few words or in an image but note “In deciding not to accept the Inspector’s recommendation to refuse permission…” That is, ABP’s own inspector recommended against the development and the board chose to overrule them.

There’s a lot to say but we’ll leave it here for now. More to follow.
