Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2004 / September 29 2004: Planning appeal begins into €100m project beside Kilkenny rail station

The Irish Times

A Bord Pleanála hearing into the decision of Kilkenny Borough Council to grant planning permission for a €100 million development at Kilkenny railway station opened yesterday. Objectors to the proposed shopping centre, hotel, apartment blocks and car park on the nine-acre site claim it is unsuitable because of its scale and because it is separated from the rest of the city by the rail line. The developers, Chesterbridge Ltd, who are partners in the railway station site with Kilkenny County Council, said in a submission yesterday that they believed the McDonagh Station regeneration project would stimulate the economic, social, cultural and environmental development of Kilkenny city.
