Developers seek des res planning

MAJOR planning applications for Cork’s premium residential addresses have been lodged within the last few weeks.

Bride View Developments have sought planning for 106 apartments on three acres of land by the ring road in Rochestown, bought last year for €3.1 million, or for €1 million-plus an acre. There's an existing permission for just 25 homes on this site, between Sli Carraig Donn/ring road and the estuary.

As reported last week, O'Flynn Construction has just entered the planning process for 74 houses and apartments on Maryborough Hill, as well as a significant development of 630 houses at historic Dunkathel House.
