Plans to redevelop the Phoenix Cinema in Dingle as a multi-purpose cinema and arts centre will be delayed by at least six months, and possibly much longer, after appeals against Kerry County Council’s decision to grant planning permission to the project were lodged with An Coimisiún Pleanala.
The county council decided to grant planning permission on February 25 but since then three submissions have been made to the planning commission (ACP) arguing that the county council’s decision to grant planning permission should be overturned because of the impact the project would have on the surrounding area, and because the site would better suit other purposes.
