An Bord Pleanála Grants Planning Permission For New School At Listellick

Listellick School
Listellick NS has been granted planning to build a new school.

AN Bord Pleanála has given outline planning permission to Listellick NS to proceed with the building of a new school on the proposed site.

The appeal lodged by the Commissioners of Public Works, on behalf of the Minister for Education and Skills, Jan O’Sullivan to appeal Kerry County Council’s refusal to grant outline planning permission on December 16, 2014, has founded in favour of Listellick NS.

Along with providing a modern learning environment, the decision will also provide employment during the construction stage.

The proposed development will provide an eight classroom primary school of aproximately 2,100 sq. metres, a sewage treatment system, ball courts, a play area and a lay-by for vehicles.

The move has been welcomed by Kerry North/West Limerick Labour Deputy Arthur Spring.

“This decision will allow Listellick NS to build a modern school which will lead to a better learning environment for the students. I would like to compliment the Principal Annette Dineen and the Board of Management who pursued the project with persistent effort up to today’s favourable decision,” said Deputy Spring.

Bord Says No To Construction Of Large Estate At Caherwisheen

PLANS for a large new estate at Caherwisheeen have been shot down by An Bord Pleanala.

The planning body has refused permission for the major housing development proposed by O’Flynn Construction Company Limited to construct 98 residential units and a crèche at Caherwisheen and Skehanagh.

The planning permission was previously refused by Kerry County Council but was appealed by the company to An Bord Pleanala.

The proposed plans involved the construction of 98 residential sites and units, along with a crèche, and associated development works, including roads, footpaths, landscaping, and drainage.

Among the reasons given by the planning appeals board was that the site was prone to flooding, had just one vehicular entrance and currently has no zoning for residential development.
