Granted

Core Planning Reasoning

The proposed development would materially contravene the ZU 18-10 zoning objective of the Cork County Development Plan 2022, which designates the site for 'Existing Mixed/General Business/Industrial Uses' to protect employment uses and prevent developments that threaten the vitality or integrity of these areas.
