Reclaimed park in Howth

Pixel Eater

So a while back I read about a new park being created in Howth. It would be reclaimed from the sea from material from the dredging of the harbour, however I was out there over the weekend and there's no sign of any construction. Is it still going ahead?

Planning permission had been granted but then an appeal has been lodged so might be a while...

This is artists impression of it...

Of course there was! Shame but hopefully it'll get built, I think it would be a great amenity for Howth.

reading the planning file it seems the council planners themselves had things it wanted changed, particularly keeping the end of the pier as it is now so they put a channel at halfway along to seperate the park from it. and moving the road away from the back of the buildings

funny that image doesn't included the thickened central pier

Nothing can be done in Howth without trawling through months of objections first, to be fair. That was to be expected I'd say.
