An Bord Pleanála refused permission on some residential units.
Seán Mulryan’s Ballymore Group has suffered a setback in its plans to develop a large-scale €190 million residential scheme on former Bray Golf Club lands.
The Irish Times reports, this follows An Bord Pleanála’s decision to refuse permission for more than half the 591 residential units the group had proposed for the 23-acre site.
An Bord Pleanála refused planning permission for two eight-storey high apartment blocks made up of 357 apartments.
The board stated that it was refusing permission for the two blocks due to the poor design of their facade treatment and architectural expression.
It found that the two apartment blocks would not constitute an adequate design response to the opportunity presented at the urban coastal site.
The board granted planning permission for the remaining 234 units.
