Plans to build nursing home stalled

AN TAISCE has objected to plans by Coillte to build a 90-bed nursing home in a forestry in east Cork.

The heritage body claimed there was already ample zoned land in the area and the development, if it proceeded, would result in a needless loss of woodland.

An Taisce has lodged an appeal with An Bord Pleanála after Cork County Council approved the plan for the nursing home at Mitchell’s Wood in Castlemartyr.
