Planning notes

Cork City Council is awaiting further information from developers of the proposed reworking for residential use of a former bakery site in Togher.

In early December, an application was received from Citidwell Limited, for the construction of 22 houses at the old Keating’s bakery on Tramore Road. Planners asked for further information last month from the applicants, which will be required before a decision can be made by the council.

An apartment development was previously permitted, on foot of a 2006 application for the site by Frinailla Developments Ltd. The initial plans were for 96 apartments and duplex units, although one of the five proposed structures was removed from the scheme by a condition attached to An Bord Pleanála’s subsequent grant of permission.
