Changing Landscapes ~ Kippure Estate

I posted a map update to Kippure Estate in Wicklow recently based on recreation developments of a few years ago. This same venue Kippure Estate/ Kippure Lodge is currently the object of some controversy in Wicklow. It would appear that a substantial amount of new building construction has taken place without due regard for planning permission. It’s reported that the local authority has been aware of this since summer 2022 but work has continued. Given the considerable difficulty obtaining planning permission in rural Wicklow experienced by the public, this is causing quite some local uproar. These new residential blocks are not shown on the recent map update.
