Cork County Council gives green light for 122 new homes in Little Island

Ruden Homes Ltd had lodged application for 172 homes

The original plan envisaged 146 new houses, along with six duplex units and 20 apartments.

A major new housing development has been greenlit in Little Island, but Cork County Council has refused permission for an extra 50 homes on the site.

Ruden Homes Ltd had lodged a Large-Scale Residential Development application with the council in July for 172 homes at the site in Courtstown.
