Cork developer re-lodges application for €50m Blarney housing plan

Subject to planning approval the first phase of houses should be available in Monacnapa in the first quarter of 2023

The new application reduces the number of units by seven.

A €50m house-building proposal for the Blarney area, which was knocked back on a technicality by An Bord Pleanála a year ago, is set to be resubmitted tomorrow with a slightly lower residential density.

Cork developer Eoin Sheehan is set to lodge an application for 143 units, including 105 houses (detached, semi-d and terraced) and 38 apartments, at Monacnapa, Blarney, under the strategic housing development process — due to be scrapped at the end of the month — which allows developers of more than 100 homes to bypass local authorities.
