Plans for 300 homes rejected over ‘substandard’ proposal

Plans for around 300 new homes in Carrigtwohill have been rejected because of the “substandard form” of the proposed development even after a revised plan to address concerns was submitted by the developer.

An Bord Pleanála has upheld an appeal lodged by Carrigtwohill Community Council against the decision of Cork County Council to grant planning permission for the construction of 277 new housing units as part of the existing Castlelake housing estate in the east Cork village.
