Local residents have lodged an appeal with An Bord Pleanala against Louth County Council’s decision to grant conditional planning permission for five new houses to be built on Mill Street in Dundalk.
Thomas Agnew was given the go ahead for the quintet of 1.5 storey townhouses on land adjacent to The Garden House last November.
He also got permission for the renovation of an existing dwelling including the replacement of the existing Perspex roofed porch with a new porch with slate roof.
However, 11 objections have been made to An Bord Pleanala, with residents claiming the five new homes would result in “overdevelopment of the site”.
They say they would be “visually obtrusive” and point out there is an “inadequate provision of parking facilities” for such a development.
