Three more blocks of student accommodation, ranging in height from five to 10 storeys, are in the pipeline for Victoria Cross in Cork city if planners endorse a €31m proposal from Bellmount Developments Ltd.

Permission to build the accommodation on a 0.22-hectare site on Wilton Road is being sought directly from An Bord Pleanála as the application is for more than 200 student bed spaces, which qualifies as a strategic housing development (SHD).
