The proposed development site
COUNCILLORS have rejected plans to build six new apartments following concerns over the size of the proposed development.
Emerald Bay Construction’s application for the new-build scheme came before the council’s development management committee during its virtual meeting on Wednesday.
The site is situated to the south of 137 Kingsway North, a residential property, and is located in the Fairfield and Howley ward.
The application sought permission to build the properties, as well as associated landscaping and parking arrangements.
The proposals would have been designed to reflect the style of a detached 1930s style property, with a long ridge line and a hipped side element.
