Planning for Cork homes refused over inadequate wastewater treatment

If allowed, it would have resulted in the overall housing scheme increasing to 123 units – 44 more than the original proposal

Concern about the proposed development, which would have modified part of a residential development previously permitted by the board, was raised by An Taisce and environmental campaigner, Peter Sweetman.

Planning permission for a new housing estate of more than 70 homes near Ovens has been refused due to inadequate wastewater treatment services in the area.

A group of “concerned residents” has successfully appealed the decision of Cork County Council to grant planning permission to Cork-based property developer, Denis O’Brien Developments, for 72 new homes on a site on the outskirts of Killumney village.
