Planning commission approves total of 900 Cork City homes following spate of objections

Three major residential schemes in Cork City have been approved after each was appealed by local residents to the planning commission

Developers Murnane and O'Shea Limited have sought a ten-year planning permission for a large-scale residential development spanning 544 homes at Greenfield in Ballincollig.

A series of large-scale residential developments in Cork that were all appealed to the planning commission by local residents and third parties have been decided, resulting in the approval of more than 900 homes located within the boundaries of Cork City Council. 

Spanning Ballincollig, Bishopstown and White's Cross, the new homes seek to address gaps in the current housing supply around Cork City, with many also targeting young families and first-time buyers.
