Activist Ali Hewson is among several Killiney residents objecting to plans for a new luxury apartment complex near her home. ­ The wife of U2’s Bono says the development “goes against the natural character” of the affluent south Dublin suburb. ­ But Hewson is far from the first high-profile figure to weigh in on what gets built nearby. ­ From celebrities to senior politicians, planning objections can quickly become contentious. ­ So where do we draw the line between legitimate local concerns and the urgent need for housing? ­ On today’s The Indo Daily, Tessa Fleming is joined by Irish Independent multimedia reporter Darragh Nolan to examine the planning battles that made headlines and who gets a say in what is built.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
