Planning granted for 170 new homes on former Vita Cortex site on Kinsale Road

Cork City Council has granted permission for 158 apartments and 12 townhouse apartments

Developers BML Duffy Property Group Limited have sought planning permission to build 170 new homes on the former Vita Cortex site, a 1.2-hectare brownfield plot located between the Kinsale Road and Pearse Road.

Cork City Council has given the green light for a new large-scale residential development adjacent to Musgrave Park, which the developers have said will 'rejuvenate' the local community.

BML Duffy Property Group Limited sought planning permission in June to transform a long-vacant industrial site into a new housing scheme, with the plans including 170 new homes on the former Vita Cortex site, a 1.2-hectare brownfield plot located between the Kinsale Road and Pearse Road.
