The council has also refused John and Hilary Loftus retention of a landfill at Terrysland, Carrigtwohill.

Elsewhere, Michael Lyons and John Hynes, who are based in Ballincollig, have their eyes on a North Cork village. They have just applied to build 19 detached, 22 semi-detached and four terraced homes at Glenduff Road, Kilworth.

Developer Michael O’Brien is seeking permission for 89 homes at Dromadda Beg, Ladysbridge. He wants to build 83 houses, six duplex units and a childcare facility.

Those behind Fota Retail and Business Park want to construct 18 two-storey commercial enterprise units and develop a 164-space car park at Killacloyne, Carrigtwohill.
