Decision to grant planning for Burnfoot housing development appealed
Planning permission for the housing development was first granted 17 years ago
The decision to grant planning permission for the completion of an Inishowen housing estate for which planning was first sought 17 years ago is being appealed.
Donegal County Council’s decision to grant planning permission last month for the completion of the multiple residential development at Rockstown, Tievebane, Burnfoot, has been appealed to An Bord Pleanála.
The development of six detached houses was first granted planning permission by the council in August 2005 to Gregory McElhinney.
A further two applications were granted in 2006 and 2007 and two extensions of duration were also granted.
Rockstown Developments was also granted two extensions of duration in 2010.
One objection was lodged which raised concerns about the wastewater treatment system and that the development breached policies which prevent multiple developments in the countryside.
The council granted planning permission following a request for further information with 15 conditions.
A decision on the appeal is due in April.
