Ireland's An Bord Pleanála approved over 100 new homes in Listowel, Kerry, despite concerns from the planning inspector and local residents.

An Bord Pleanála, Ireland's national planning body, has approved over 100 new homes in Listowel, Kerry, despite the recommendation of its own planning inspector and local residents. The development, which consists of 62 houses and 40 apartments, was approved over the objections of local residents and the inspector's concerns that the design and layout did not meet planning guidelines for compact settlements and posed a safety hazard. The board found that the development would not seriously injure residential or visual amenities in the area, and that the project adhered to planning conditions and urban design standards.
