€40 million apartment scheme rejected

PLANS for a €40 million apartment scheme in a County Cork town have been refused by An Bord Pleanála.

Some of the proposed new apartments were considered to be out of scale with the residential character of Midleton while the proposed scheme represented an over-development of the site.

Alchemy Properties had intended to build 132 apartments in three blocks, ranging in size from three to six storeys, in the town’s Mill Road.
