A ROW is brewing over Sinead O’Connor’s former home after a plan to turn it into five luxury apartments went to appeal.
Some locals are up in arms over the proposal which they say will see their homes overlooked by a new block of luxury flats.
Wicklow County Council refused permission for the pretty seafront house – called Montebello – to be refurbished and turned into apartments in April.
Planners said the building would be an “incongruous structure” and would “intrude on views of protected structures in the vicinity of the site” as well as devaluing neighbouring homes.
But now the applicant has gone to appeal to try and overturn the decision, which they claim “is not justified.”
