Plans for almost 230 new Carrigaline homes lodged with council

Proposed residential scheme includes 194 homes and 35 own-door apartments

New planning bid includes 229 new homes in Janeville, Shannonpark & Carrigaline Middle

Plans for a large-scale residential development in Carrigaline spanning almost 230 homes have been lodged with Cork County Council.

Developer Astra Construction Services Limited has sought planning permission to demolish an existing farmyard at Janeville, Shannonpark and Carrigaline Middle to make way for 229 new homes on a site spanning almost eight hectares. 

These would consist of 194 houses, comprising a mix of four-, three-, two- and one-bedroom units, and 35 own-door access apartments, almost all of which would be one-bedroom. Some 32 apartment units will be provided in six two-storey apartment buildings in the southern areas of the site.

The proposed development includes the partial demolition and restoration of an existing two-storey farmhouse and ancillary building to the northeast of the site, which will accommodate three additional apartment units.

In its application, Astra Construction Services Limited said the retained and refurbished farm buildings would be used to good effect to form a distinctive gateway to the development, Janeville, and the wider urban area.

The developer said the scheme will be divided into four character areas, with each area having its own building typologies and materials palette "to create sub-neighbourhoods of distinct identity."

The development also includes a new vehicular estate entrance to Janeville from the Rock Road (L-2490) to the east in addition to the extension of footpath and public realm upgrades on Rock Road.

Ancillary site development works include landscape and amenity areas, servicing and drainage proposals, bicycle parking, bin storage facilities and the installation of a noise attenuation screen along the northern boundary.

The developers added that "generous open space" was intended for the site, and would function as the "social and visual heart of the development, designed to support informal play, relaxation and community gatherings."

Smaller amenity spaces would also include gardens, balconies, terraces and shared communal areas.

Cork County Council is due to decide on the plans by April 28, 2026.
