Plans cleared for Cork City student apartment scheme

Planning permission has been granted for student apartments in Cork city centre.

Although permission was previously given in March by Cork City Council, the decision in relation to the redevelopment of the former Square Deal furniture premises on Washington St West had been appealed.

The withdrawal of the appeal by the owner of a neighbouring residential and medical facility means Summix WSC Developments Ltd is now approved to begin work subject to the council’s planning conditions.
