Developer is seeking to convert units set out for bars, cafes and gyms into additional residential accommodation

Cork South Docks proposal by O'Callaghan Properties.

The developers behind one of Cork City's most ambitious housing schemes have sought permission to amend plans for a 160-apartment development on the South Docklands, which would see the removal of some ground-floor commercial units in favour of more apartments. 

Larchtown Limited, led by Brian O'Callaghan of O'Callaghan Properties, who are behind the €350m docklands transformation plan, sought planning permission to amend the mixed-use development, including the conversion of a variety of permitted commercial uses at the ground-floor level of the building, which is to be located at the rear of the Odlums building within the South Docklands.
