Works In Laois Pub On Hold After Planning Objections

The planned lounge and outdoor entertainment area are being held up.

A number of objections have been filed with An Bord Pleanala over a planned lounge and outdoor entertainment area for a Laois pub. 

Objections include encroaching on right of way, an adverse effect on community character, planning breaches and a lack of public consultation. 

Applicant Jack Wallace for Ramsbottom Bar on Main Street in Portlaoise submitted the plans last September. 

They also included adding a kitchen to the lounge at the back of the bar, a smoking area and emergency exit route. 

Laois County Council approved the work subject to seven conditions on May 1st, with three separate appeals lodged against it. 

A decision will be made by An Bord Pleanala by the 29th of September.
