Plans for almost 470 homes in Mallow approved despite concerns over infrastructure

The commission said the lands were specifically zoned for housing development and that the plans were acceptable in terms of layout and design.

Plans for almost 470 new homes in north Cork have been approved despite opposition from a group of residents in Mallow who expressed concern that the development is premature in the absence of appropriate infrastructure.

An Coimisiún Pleanála has granted planning permission for 469 residential units as part of a large-scale residential development at Castlepark, St Joseph’s Road to the east of Mallow town centre.
