Wicklow County Council has refused planning permission to convert the former Bray seafront home of singer Sinéad O’Connor into apartments. The house, Montebello, was sold in 2021 for just over €1 million.
In May of last year, BBA Architecture, on behalf of Rachel Carthy, lodged plans with the council to convert Montebello on Bray’s promenade into five apartments.
The initial proposal by Ms Carthy also included the construction of a three-storey extension to the rear of the existing building with balconies to the rear and West elevation. A number of objections were lodged and in one lodged on behalf of the next-door neighbours on Strand Rd, Ceceline and Frank Power, it was claimed that the scheme was “an excessive and far too commercial development that fails to have due regard to the protection of the residential amenities of adjoining houses”.
