The developers behind two prior planning attempts for an ambitious redevelopment on lands at the former Bessborough mother and baby home in Cork City have secured the green light for 140 new homes. 

Developer Estuary View Enterprises 2020 has received planning permission from City Hall to demolish almost a dozen agricultural buildings and log cabins at Bessborough, Ballinure in Blackrock, to make way for 140 apartments.
