Over 700 apartments are planned on lands of the former CMP dairy on the Kinsale Road in Cork under new plans announced by Dairygold.

Watfore, the property management and development subsidiary of the Mitchelstown-based dairy co-operative, has applied to An Bord Pleanála for a pre-application consultation for the proposed development of 706 apartments as well as a childcare facility on the site of the former dairy which closed 15 years ago.
