Big setback for Bantry’s social housing project
Posted on June 26, 2019 in News
BANTRY’S social housing need has suffered a setback after a 52-unit development was appealed to An Bord Pleanala.
Local councillor, Patrick Gerard Murphy (FF) said the development ‘could have solved a lot of problems overnight if it had gone ahead.’
The director of services for housing, Maurice Manning, agreed with Cllr Murphy’s assessment of the situation.
And he confirmed that Cork County Council granted planning permission for the ‘turnkey project’ – which is a private development that is sold on to the Council for social housing – on March 7th 2019.
