A popular Cork pub and restaurant which was refused permission to keep a major extension has appealed the decision to the planning commission.<\/p>\n
The Anglers Bar and Restaurant at Leemount, Carrigrohane, opened the Greenhouse in the summer of 2022 as an extension to the existing restaurant, offering both indoor and al fresco dining. The building is capable of hosting up to 40 guests for weddings, communions and parties.<\/p>\n
In October last year, Alice Cross, who runs the restaurant with her husband, Tony, sought planning permission from Cork City Council to retain the Greenhouse building.<\/p>\n
The application included plans to keep a single-storey extension to the side of the restaurant, to retain a detached glazed structure with a retractable roof, an outdoor projection screen, external hardstanding and an external storage shed, together with associated site works.<\/p>\n
City Hall sought further information about the retention plans, highlighting in a letter to Ms Cross that there were outstanding works required for the previously permitted development.<\/p>\n
These requirements included the provision of a pedestrian crossing on the public road at the front of the premises, road resurfacing works and the addition of a new footpath to the front of the building.<\/p>\n
Responding to the city council in March, Ms Cross said the pedestrian crossing had already been installed, with road resurfacing works and new footpaths to be completed that week.<\/p>\n
Despite this, Cork City Council refused permission for the restaurant and bar to retain its popular Greenhouse seating area, noting in its decision that the Angler\u2019s growing popularity posed a potential traffic hazard.<\/p>\n
Now, the plans lie with An Coimisi\u00fan Plean\u00e1la following a first-party appeal of the refusal by Ms Cross, with a decision due by September 24, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A popular Cork pub and restaurant which was refused permission to keep a major extension has appealed the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":489733,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[72,4257,79,61,60],"class_list":["post-489732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-cork-business","tag-cork-news","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/489732","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=489732"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/489732\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/489733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=489732"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=489732"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=489732"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
