Plans for a major housing development of almost 200 homes and a supermarket, creche, and café near Tower, outside Cork City, have been lodged with the planning board, for consideration under its fast-track scheme.

Cloghroe Development Ltd, which is part of Cork- and London-based Bmor Developments Ltd, is seeking to have its application treated as a strategic housing development which would allow it to apply directly to An Bord Pleanála for permission to build on the 18.7-acre (7.5-hectare) site.
