Turned down by local planners, G Boppers Ltd has opted not to appeal the decision to An Bord Pleanala
Mixed Martial Arts star Conor McGregor has, for now at least, given up the fight for a boutique style seaside hotel in Howth , north county Dublin.
The plans had attracted a wave of local opposition. One woman raised concerns the proposed hotel, on the site of the the Waterside Bar on Harbour Road and Church Street, would be an Ibiza-style party venue. In the refusal, issued on two grounds, the council stated that – taking into account the location of the hotel on Church Street and the preserved view along the street – the proposal “would interfere with the character of the landscape or with a view or prospect of special amenity value or natural interest or beauty”.
A report lodged with the application by Prof Cathal O’Neill + Company Architects contended that the scheme “seeks to make appropriate use of the site which has been underutilised for many years and to provide guest accommodation which is sorely needed in the area”.
