Plans for a large housing development on the northside of Cork city have been shot down to protect route options for a proposed strategic road.

In its decision to refuse planning for Miata Limited’s proposed 162-residential unit strategic housing development (SHD) in Banduff, An Bord Pleanála said the development could limit route choices for the proposed Cork northern distributor road.
