Silver Reef Developments, which lists businessman Richard Murphy and tile entrepreneur Patrick Rocca as directors, was looking for permission to build four large houses at Ard Mhuire, 40, Elton Park.
This planning application was lodged two years after planning permission for a high density scheme of 15 apartments was secured by the duo and cleared by An Bord Pleanála. The council refused permission for the new plan because it would be out of character with the pattern of development in the area. It would contravene standards set out in the development plan regarding rear garden depths and would seriously detract from the visual amenities of the area,the council said.
