Appeal lodged against planning permission for 204 homes in Mahon

Canadian IT company say land was zoned for business and technology rather than housing

The site in Mahon next to Telus International Ireland, formerly known as Voxpro, that the company is objecting to because they say putting housing on it contravenes the city's development plan.

A planning appeal has been lodged against a 204-home development in Mahon, Cork which was approved by the council despite the land not being zoned for residential development.

Cork City Council granted planning permission last month to Clyde Real Estate for the apartment blocks adjacent to Telus International on the Loughmahon Link Road.
