Planning Authority Rejects Irish Cement's Housing Appeal
An Coimisiún Pleanála has thrown out Irish Cement's appeal against the construction of 139 new homes near its factory in Mungret.
The company had objected to the development, arguing that it could "inhibit" its own expansion plans.
Any further housing on the land could "inhibit" its own expansion.
- The planning appeal was made against Limerick City and County Council's decision to grant permission to developers Tergnum Properties.
- Irish Cement employs over 100 people in Mungret and has previously faced opposition from local residents over its plans to switch to solid recovered waste for production.
The national planning appeals body has backed the council's decision, allowing the construction of 139 homes along the N69 to proceed.
