Jansu decision expected today
19.06.07
|
A decision is expected
today on the controversial planning application to
redevelop the former Fruit of the Loom site at
Buncrana's Shore Front. |
 |
An Bord Pleanala, the
planning appeals body, is due to rule on Jansu Ltd's
proposal to convert the former factory into a
multi-million euro complex comprising luxury
apartments, retail units, offices and a car park.
The application sparked controversy last year after
strong opposition to the |
proposal from the Shore
Front Residents' Association whose objection centred
chiefly on concerns the area would not be able to
cope with the increased traffic volumes the proposed
complex would create.
A majority vote by Buncrana Town Council, rejected
an application to rezone the area in the town plan
from industrial to commercial. However, the
necessary rezoning for the Jansu development to go
ahead has since taken place.
All concerned parties will watch closely today, to
see what the planning appeals body's decision will
be. |
