Developer to re-apply after 600-house plan turned down
The company sought to build 629 houses at Dunkathel, Glanmire, but was allowed 527 by Cork County Council, with a large number of conditions that included the developer constructing roads in the area. O’Flynn Construction appealed this decision to An Bord Pleánala, and, at an oral hearing last December, sought approval for at least 600 homes.
An Bord Pleanála refused permission for the project, which included the development of an equestrian centre, retail units and crèche, mainly due to a lack of proper infrastructure.
