Glanmire residents to object to 608-unit housing estate

A number of residents’ associations are to lodge objections against one of the biggest housing projects ever proposed in Co Cork.

They are to lodge their objections to An Bord Pleanála, which will decide whether O’Flynn Construction is allowed to build 608 residential units on a 31.5-hectare site at Ballinglanna, Glanmire.

The company’s proposals also involve a crèche, retail units, and community centre/sports hall. In addition, the plan includes play areas, amenity walkways, and has earmarked a 1.2-hectare site for a 16-classroom national school.
