Developers apply for 300 new homes

APPLICATIONS to build almost 300 homes in four major developments in Co Cork have been lodged this week in projects estimated to be worth €75 million.

In what local authority planners say was one of their busiest weeks, developers applied to build in Ballincollig, Bantry and Youghal, as well as in the north Cork village of Boherbue.

The biggest single proposal received by the council in recent days is for the outskirts of the ever-growing town of Ballincollig, which has already been earmarked for a huge redevelopment by O’Flynn Construction.
