A planning application for major renovations at a Waterford cathedral has been refused.
Waterford City and County Council made the decision regarding St Carthages Cathedral in Lismore yesterday (March 7) following two months of deliberation.
If granted, renovations would have led to repairs to the cobbled entrance at the south boundary with alterations to improve accessibility.
It also included the construction of two 5 square metre single storey extensions to the existing lean-to corridor at the rear (north) elevation, new toilet facilities, and new glazed draught lobbies within the existing porches.
Installation of a new heating system consisting of heat pumps and ancillary equipment internally in the bell tower and boiler room, and externally at low level within the sunken area at the vestry were also included in the application.
An extension of duration request was also submitted for the repair and re-use of existing floor heating ducts, alterations to the existing access stairs to bell tower and sundry conservation repairs to the building fabric.
Information on the reasons for the refusal have not yet been released.
