A popular Cork pub has been refused permission to keep a major extension capable of catering to up to 40 guests.<\/p>\n
The Anglers Bar & Restaurant in Leemount, Carrigrohane, opened the Greenhouse in the summer of 2022 as an extension to the existing restaurant, offering both indoor and al fresco dining.<\/p>\n
In October last year, Alice Cross, who runs the restaurant with her husband, Tony, sought planning permission from Cork City Council to retain the Greenhouse building.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The application included plans to keep a single-storey extension to the side of the restaurant, to retain a detached glazed structure with a retractable roof, an outdoor projection screen, external hardstanding and an external storage shed, together with associated site works.\u00a0<\/p>\n
City Hall sought further information about the retention plans, highlighting in a letter to Ms Cross that there were outstanding works required for the previously permitted development.\u00a0<\/p>\n
These requirements included the provision of a pedestrian crossing on the public road at the front of the premises, road resurfacing works and the provision of a new footpath to the front of the building.<\/p>\n
Responding to the city council in March, Ms Cross said the pedestrian crossing had already been installed, with road resurfacing works and new footpaths to be completed that week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite this, the City Council refused permission for the restaurant and bar to retain its popular Greenhouse seating area, noting in its decision that the Angler’s increased popularity was causing a potential traffic hazard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
City Hall said the proposed development, which constituted an expansion of the facility, “endangers public safety by reason of traffic hazard” due to “serious vehicular and pedestrian conflicts (due to increased patronage) which it generates on the adjoining road.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A popular Cork pub has been refused permission to keep a major extension capable of catering to up…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":470507,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[73],"tags":[9521,79,9520,18,19,17,3525],"class_list":["post-470506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-building","tag-business","tag-construction-munster","tag-eire","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-planning-permission"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116525271976498715","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=470506"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470506\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/470507"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=470506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=470506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=470506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
