Anglers in Killorglin are appealing plans recently green-lit by Kerry County Council for a development of nearly 250 homes outside of Killarney.

As the Kerryman reports, the Laune Salmon and Trout Anglers’ Association says it “did not receive the regard it is supposed to get” in planners’ assessment of the proposed development at Cronin’s Wood, east of the Co Kerry town.

In their appeal to An Bord Pleanála, the anglers claim the development is lacking the appropriate infrastructure for wastewater treatment and express concerns over surface water run-off.

The angling association also claims that the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) screening and Appropriate Assessment was flawed.
