Permission for proposed Lidl supermarket refused
An Bord Pleanála has refused planning permission for a proposed Lidl
supermarket in the Cork suburb of Douglas, disagreeing with the recommendation

the local area plan. An inspector had recommended granting permission for the
supermarket to be built on a two-acre site behind Barry’s Pub, between the
Carrigaline Road and Churchyard Lane. Cork County Council had granted planning

village. The site is located in a designated Architectural Conservation Area.
