Pleanála rejects appeal claiming development a mosque with traffic and noise issues
Locals claimed the proposed development should more correctly be described as a mosque as it would be used between 6am and 10pm with prayers five times daily.
The board ruled that the centre, subject to a number of planning conditions, would not seriously injure residential or visual amenities of adjoining properties.It claimed the proposed building represented “an appropriate type and scale of development at this location and would be acceptable in terms of pedestrian and traffic safety and convenience”.
They claimed older people living in Irishtown would be nervous that people would be in their area late at night or in the early hours of the morning. The centre pointed out that half the Muslim community in Clonmel consisted of doctors working in South Tipperary General Hospital where there was also a room for prayer.
