Decision Document Summary
The proposal (Ref: 21/1490) by James Boswell sought retention for new rear access gates and planning permission for a 1.8m high wall at The Gate Lodge, Enniscoush, Rathkeale, Co. Limerick. The site is highly sensitive as it contains a Protected Structure. The application was refused by Limerick City & County Council because the works were deemed out of character with the heritage asset, visually injurious to the surrounding environment, and a potential hazard to traffic safety....SOURCE PDFOpen Original
