Plans for 72 new homes in Rochestown approved by the planning commission

New housing development alongside new M298 is approved despite objections

New homes will be located near the Bloomfield Interchange at Monfieldstown and Mounthovel in Rochestown.

Plans for more than 70 new homes in Rochestown have been approved by the planning appeals commission.

Diamond Developments Ltd, headed by Declan O'Mahony, lodged plans a year ago to demolish existing agricultural sheds at Monfieldstown and Mounthovel in Rochestown to make way for 72 new residential units. The site is located close to St Patrick's Church alongside the future M28 motorway to Ringaskiddy.
