Bord rejects Dundalk scheme

AN BORD Pleanála has refused permission for a major mixed-use scheme in Dundalk.

Paul Monaghan's Ampezzano Ltd was seeking permission to demolish the existing building and replace it with 151 apartments, 10 retail units and a restaurant on the site of the Williamson's Mall.

A new pedestrian street - providing a link between Francis Street and Ramparts Road - was also proposed. In refusing permission the board said the scheme would seriously injure the setting of St Patrick's Cathedral.
