Proposal to build over 100 homes in Cork City rejected

An Bord Pleanála rejected appeal by developer on the basis that the proposed development was on lands zoned for 'landscape preservation' and part of the city’s hinterland

The site is located just north of Lotabeg House which is a protected structure.

An Bord Pleanála has refused planning permission for a proposal to build over 100 new houses on the northside of Cork City because the site is zoned an area of “high landscape value” which does not allow for residential development.

The board upheld the decision of Cork City Council to reject plans by developer, Rebel Abú, for the construction of 91 houses and 10 duplex units as well as 352 car park spaces on a 3.8-hectare site at Lotabeg, Tivoli.
