Cork harbour apartment plan is approved despite council rejection

The development will be located on an elevated site overlooking Passage West in Cork Harbour.

A property development firm has secured approval from An Bord Pleanála for a new housing project in Passage West, despite the plans originally being refused planning permission by Cork County Council.

Montip Horizon has successfully appealed the council’s decision to get the green light for the development of 23 apartments and nine houses on an elevated site overlooking the town even though the board’s own planning inspector had also recommended it should not be allowed to go ahead.
