The hits just keep coming ‘visually obtrusive’
They really really need to get a grip and start building stuff and stop rejecting everything. When the average house in Cork is renting for 2000€ a month and people are having to leave because there are no houses to rent this kind of stuff really frustrates me
The main reason for the rejection seems to be that the site was tagged primarily for educational use, which is fair enough. But you’d REALLY have to ask why it took 3 years to come up with that reason.
Pity, as I really liked that tower design.
What a load of shite.
Just build it and stop whinging over tall buildings
*In its ruling, it said the site had a stated objective to provide for schools, educational facilities and related developments, and that the current plans for the site would “prejudice the future provision of educational facilities within the Cork Docklands area.*
Feels like some balance can be found here, there is no lack of sites in that area that could be used for schools. And if they don’t allow apartments to be built in the area there will be nobody to attend the schools anyway.
This decision is insane. Where are people supposed to live!!!
“Character of the area” 😁 We’ve handed complete power over the country to planners, and no one seems to question why we’ve done that.
Another victory for visual amenities.
If the site was intended/zoned for educational facilities then why hasn’t the government bought that land and fucking got on with it?
I find it hard to believe that the developers got such bad planning advice as a lot of money goes into these plans. Something is up!
> In addition, the board said the development, because of its design, scale, bulk and mass, would be “visually obtrusive when viewed from various viewpoints in the immediate vicinity as well as from views city wide and the surrounding hinterland of the city.”
> It added that the design of the apartment blocks would “seriously detract from the visual amenities and character of the area and would not constitute an adequate design response to the context and opportunity of this site.”
Oh no, imagine if [these](https://maps.app.goo.gl/kU4uimTVUgPJYPgS9) stunning [views](https://maps.app.goo.gl/g6yeDWxNNdbktMWC8) were ruined by a modern mixed-use development with a *gasp* tall building in it.
Yeah 3 years to figure out the site was tagged for educational purposes and refuse permission seems depressingly accurate
Should have just built an iPas, no planning required as far as I know. Could then be used for social housing in the future.
People want to protest against housing on the streets. But tbh I think it would be more festive to protest at Nimbys location.
They need to know that they’re monsters to think that their skylines matter more than the homeless
This is what the dirt at ABP think of those struggling to get on the housing market. It’s a spit in your face. Whole system needs to be burnt to the ground and started afresh. These government bodies are full of old rotten wood.
Ireland’s housing crisis isn’t a failure of policy—it’s policy by design. The country is being quietly transformed into a climate refuge for the global elite. In a few decades, the population will be sharply divided: a wealthy class of property owners and a service underclass priced out of ownership and stability.
