Decision to reject 'visually overbearing' Cork apartments is appealed

Planners in Cork City Council rejected the scheme at Dennehys Cross

Planners said the apartments' height, bulk, and massing meant it would be "visually overbearing" in the Bishopstown and Wilton area.

The backers of a 45 apartment development at Cork's Denehys Cross have appealed a decision by Cork City Council that rejected the proposal.

Dennehys Cross Construction Ltd was seeking to demolish an existing disused garage to build four three-bed, 29 two-bed and 12 one-bed apartments in two blocks, one five and one six-storey.
