Plans by David Lloyd Leisure, one of Europe’s leading premium health and wellness groups, to develop a fitness centre near Swords, Co Dublin, have been rejected by council planners.

The design and layout of the proposed David Lloyd Leisure development were considered to be of “poor unacceptable quality”, according to a decision by Fingal County Council.
