What’s proposed
Permission for a Large-Scale Residential Development (LRD) comprising amendments to Block 3 and 4 of a permitted Strategic Housing Development of 441 no. units (An Bord Pleanala Ref: 301991-18 as amended by 310378-21 and Cork City Council Reg. Ref: 23/41994) at a site located at Jacobs Island, Ballinure, Mahon, Cork. The amendment to Block 3 and 4 will consist of internal reconfiguration resulting in the omission of 16 no. studio units and 2 no. 2 bedroom units which will be replaced with 15 no. 1-bedroom units and associated elevational changes to balconies and window openings in Block 4.

A high-density mixed-use employment corridor tied to a rail or metro line. Expect the tallest buildings in the area here.
An established residential area. The objective is to protect existing residential amenity as well as to provide housing — which is the objective a neighbour's objection to an overbearing extension is usually argued under.
