Cork apartment block project increased by four floors after consulting An Bord Pleanála

The developers of a 17-storey apartment block in Cork city centre increased the height of their building after consulting with An Bord Pleanála.

The Railway Gardens development, located just 200 metres from the 17-storey Elysian tower, was initially planned to be 13 storeys tall but was described as "stocky and out of proportion" by the Bord, which advised an increase in height.
