Planning permission refused for new petrol station on site of Creeslough tragedy
An Bord Pleanála has overturned planning permission for a new filling station on the site of the explosion in Creeslough, Co Donegal, in which 10 people were killed. Donegal County Council granted permission to Vivo Shell Limited to redevelop a service station and shop at the site in February. Advertisement The decision was appealed by a number of family members of those killed in the October 2022 blast. On Friday An Bord Pleanála revealed it was turning down the application. The planning authority said the proposed plan was "out of character" with its surroundings in the village. The body said: "Having regard to the existing character and the prevailing pattern of development in Creeslough, it is considered that the proposed development (as amended), by reason of its overall architectural treatment, scale and design, would be out of character with its surroundings, would seriously detract from the architectural character and setting of Creeslough and the streetscape and approach from Letterkenny generally.

"To permit the proposed scheme (as amended) at this prominent location could have such a negative effect on the visual amenity and local character of Creeslough as to negatively impact on the wider, long-term regeneration and renewal of the village. "The proposed development would, therefore, seriously injure the visual amenities of the area and the proper planning and sustainable development of the area." The proposed rebuild had allowed for the demolition of the existing building and the construction of a new structure that includes a shop, post office, deli, off-licence and fuel forecourt.

One of the family members who lost a loved one in the tragedy said: "This is terrific news. When we got the news yesterday that there would not be an oral hearing we were so disappointed and feared the worst. Advertisement "This is tremendous news. We simply do not want a new service station on the site in which our loved ones died." A statement on behalf of the families welcomed the decision to quash the application for a new building on the site. Ireland Families of Creeslough tragedy victims outraged af... Read More "Proposing development on this site while a criminal investigation is still ongoing was deeply inappropriate," the statement said. "The families believe the ground should be treated with dignity and respect, given the scale of loss and trauma suffered. The initial decision to grant planning permission rubbed salt in the wounds of the families." Darragh Mackin, the families' legal representative, said: "Today's decision has restored faith in the rule of law, where victims are treated with dignity and respect. "We continue to call for a full public inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the tragedy. The families remain committed to seeking truth, accountability and justice."
