Tue 06 Jun 2007Council rejects planMembers of Wicklow County Council have rejected a plan which would have reduced an area of architectural conservation around the Burnaby in Greystones. In an attempt to amend a local area plan for Greystones and Delgany, officials had proposed a number of rezonings aimed at increasing density.Removal of conservation area status from modern housing in South Place could have cleared the way for apartment blocks. A second proposal to change zoning south of Kinlen Road would have allowed the mostly single-storey housing to be augmented by infill development.
