The planning appeals body is to rule on proposals for a new €40m Killarney medical development, after part of the scheme was rejected by town council officials.
The overall plans for the primary care facility were approved by the council, which is to be built within St Finian's Hospital, reports Build.ie. However, the inclusion of a dispensary was turned down by planners, despite claims by a consortium of GPs that it is a crucial factor in the scheme.
An appeal has been launched in order for the planning authority to clarify if the dispensary is an exempted use within the development. The Killarney Primary Care Development Group now wants An Bord Pleanala to decide whether the dispensary is in fact an exempted development.
