A fresh planning application has been lodged in a bid to resolve the issues at Cork’s Marina Market after the city council initially refused permission last year.

It’s understood that CPR Properties Cork is applying for permission for the change of use from warehouse or distribution use to a market and food emporium at the site on Centre Park Road in the city. The market has already been in operation without planning permission for some time.
