Fota Island Resort wins planning extension

Fota Island Resort’s new owners have obtained permission to complete an overhaul for which local authority approval was first granted a decade ago.

In April 2004, Cityking International got the go-ahead for a hotel, 287 holiday homes, nine-hole golf course, and other site development works.

Following the recent purchase of the resort, Xiu Lan Properties Ltd applied to Cork County Council in January to extend the duration of that previous permission.
