Number of houses reduced in Gannon Kinsale extension request

Planning notes

A reduction in the number of houses at a previously-permitted scheme near Kinsale forms part of a recent application to Cork County Council. The proposal from Gannon Homes, the company of developer Gerry Gannon, relates to a plan previously submitted in 2006. That resulted in the issuing of permission for 201 houses, two childcare facilities and associated works, at Rathmore, Rathbeg, Kinsale. The council has been asked to extend duration of the parent permission but included in the application is the plan to reduce the density of the development, and to change the house types and the site layout.
