Further information is being sought concerning a proposed hotel development in Dungarvan.
A decision had been anticipated from Waterford City & County Council yesterday in relation to the proposed development which was submitted by local businessman, Michael Ryan.
The planning application remains live, and the applicant will have a period of six months to respond and submit the further information being sought on the proposal.
A planning application lodged by local businessman Michael Ryan seeks to demolish the former Glanbia laboratory and office quarters at the junction of Richard A. Walsh Street and Davitt’s Quay.
The building would be replaced with a hotel facility that includes 42 conventional hotel bedrooms and a similar number of aparthotel rooms.
The plans also include a penthouse suite, two function halls, a café and bar, a 48-space car park, and 26 bicycle bays.
An appeal was lodged on January 2nd by Michael Burke of Lawlor's Hotel on TF Meagher Street, Dungarvan.
He has objected to the application on six grounds - stating that it would be adverse to sustainable tourism due to its size and scale.
It's also claimed that the development would have an adverse impact on the architectural heritage of Dungarvan.
The appeal also claims the development disregards the Development Plan of Dungarvan 2018 and local businesses with no provision for car parking for staff, customers, and suppliers.
