Permission has been granted

May 31, 2018 by CHASE

screen-shot-2018-05-31-at-12-38-49

Permission, dated 30 May 2018,  has been granted by An Bord Pleanala.  News was received this morning that the Bord have overruled Inspector Derek Daly’s recommendation to refuse permission. See full documentation online, including Inspectors reports and Bord Directions.

This is the third Oral Hearing Planning inspector to recommend refusal for this project on this site.

All of Bord Pleanala’s three inspectors who held the 2003, 2009 and now the 2016 hearings recommended refusing permission.  The 2011 ruling upheld the Inspectors recommendation and refused planning.

In his report, the Inspector gave 5 key reasons for his recommendation to refuse planning.  Three of those recommendations were carried over to his addendum report, which was issued following the invited submission of further information from Indaver Ireland to Bord Pleanala.

The three key reasons for refusal which carried over to the Inspectors final report were:

Compatibility with emerging campus and heritage : The proposed development is not compatible with recent development in the area, i.e. rejuvenation of the area as a hub for tourism, Education and for R&D, supported by Local Area Plans and backed by Government investment.

Evaluation of alternatives: No new evaluation of alternative sites was carried out, as required, and evaluation was simply carried over from prior proposals.

Over development of Site: Because of the configuration of the site, the Inspector concluded that it would constitute overdevelopment of the site which would seriously injure the amenities of the area and property in the vicinity.

  • A Community Fighting

    A Community Fighting

    This short film marks the 20 year campaign sparked by the news that a Belgian waste company, Indaver had arrived armed with plans to build a large hazardous waste incinerator at the end of a then undeveloped cul-de-sac in Ringaskiddy, the industrial heartland of Cork.

    As news percolated around Cork Harbour, concern and opposition, evident from the outset, consolidated, galvanised and continued to go from strength to strength over the course of the years that saw a community stuck in a battle that they didn’t invite.

    The campaign, at the time of publication, is still ongoing and can be followed online at www.chasecorkharbour.com

    Dr Paul Connett, Jeremy Irons, Prof Vyvyan Howard - Burning our waste must be abandoned

    Dr Paul Connett, Actor & Environmentalist Jeremy Irons and Prof Vyvyan Howard outline why burning our waste is a bad idea that needs to be abandoned.

    We’ve been fighting the same fight in Cork Harbour for over 19 years now and as yet another Government talks about formation we appeal to our politicians to make sure that this burning issue is given a place in current discussions.

    Burning our waste is a bad deal for communities and the environment everywhere.
