Developer fears 600 homes will be delayed

The developer behind a planning ‘fast-track’ €150m scheme for 600 houses and apartments in Co Cork, fears an observation from the neighbouring Cork City Council could delay or derail the supply of badly needed homes.

Michael O’Flynn submitted planning under the Strategic Housing Development (SHD) ‘Fast Track’ route directly to An Bord Pleanála, for 609 homes, school and local services at Ballinglanna, Glanmire.

Under the SHD process, a decision on a phased development, over the next decade, is due in April.
