I this road ripe for high density developments lends me to the opinion that the CSD were right all along and that planning in Cork is now nothing more that a sick joke.

we all know planning could be better done – i think there is an attitude that a decision is made by the local authority and all they have in mind sometimes is that Bord Pleanala will sort it out – then ABP inspectors seem to make somewhat informed decisions, all the reports I read from them are mostly logical but then they themselves can be over ruled for no real valid reason

i can see why the CSD dont like some of the planning but to object to high rise constantly is a bit much – I dont think they have a leg to stand on re the Carrigrohane Straight anyway as you have county hall, the approved 6 storey new motor tax office and the Crows nest will get the height (or most of it) its just being tweaked to look better I think
