Revised Albert Quay planning bid prompts critical response

The revised planning application for a major quayside office development in Cork city has prompted a critical response from the management of the adjoining Elysian complex.

The application by BAM Properties and developer John Cleary’s Progressive Commercial Construction Ltd was submitted to city planners a month ago, after appeals to An Bord Pleanála against permission granted for a nine-storey office block at Albert Quay.

The original plan was withdrawn following a High Court ruling granting Elysian Management Ltd (EML) leave to seek a judicial review of the planning permission.
