Developers already granted planning permission for a mammoth development of over 750 homes near Cork City have submitted a fresh bid to extend the permission by three years due to “significant delays” caused by covid-19.

Longview Estates Ltd had been successful in 2020 in its application for planning permission for 753 houses and apartments across six neighbourhoods in the townland of Lahardane, Ballyvolane, about 3km north-east of Cork City centre.
