Plans for 56 new homes in Cobh have been green-lit by Cork County Council, almost a year on from the initial planning application.

Rockspring Properties had initially lodged its application with the council on June 27, 2022 for the mix of two-bed, three-bed, and four-bed homes for a location at Cooline, Ballyvoloon in Cobh. The original plan was for 63 homes in total along with landscaping, surface car parking, and site services but that has since been revised down.
