15 homes in Glenville village scheme

THE village model continues to grow – this week McKenna O’Donoghue Clarke are launching a new scheme of just 15 houses in the Co Cork village of Glenville.

In line with recent council policy, development is being encouraged around existing settlements so that villages expand and new home owners have amenities on their doorstep. This attempt to contain ribbon development along country roads seems to be working so far and new houses are springing up around all the smaller villages within a ten to fifteen mile radius of the city.

Ease of planning is the bait for the builder and the consumer benefits from lower house prices outside of larger built-up areas.
