Planning authority listens to the opinions of the citizen

In 2013, 157 Orwell Road, Dublin 14 was bought by a development company. The plan was to build four houses on the site, which is directly opposite the trade entrance to the now defunct Mount Carmel Hospital.

A number of residents in the locality submitted objections to the planned development.

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Council last Friday published its decision, which was to refuse planning permission.

A good example how the planning system can work for the benefit of the citizen.

Reasons for the refusal of planning permission can be viewed on the dlr website.
