Community group challenges plans for almost 100 houses and several shops in Kerry Pike
While stressing that the association was not opposed to development and welcoming aspects of the latest proposal, including the provision of shops and a creche, the group’s chairperson, Jim O’Mahony, claimed it could not be considered sustainable development if infrastructure was not put in place prior to or in tandem with new housing in the area.

Plans for almost 100 new houses and several new shops in the Cork village of Kerry Pike have been put on hold following objections from several parties including a local community group.
Several appeals by local residents including the Clogheen/Kerry Pike Community Association have been lodged with An Bord Pleanála against the recent decision of Cork City Council to grant planning permission for the development which is located around three kilometres northwest of Cork city.
