Carrigtwohill housing plan on hold

Plans for the development of almost 300 new homes in Carrigtwohill have been put on hold following an objection from the village’s community council.

The appeal raises doubts over plans by BAM Property to build 277 housing units, which consist of 186 houses and 91 apartments as part of the existing Castlelake housing estate in the east Cork village.

The development was granted planning permission by Cork County Council in April, subject to 49 different conditions.
