Re: Re: Developments in Cork

O Flynns were approved for 196 houses at Crosshaven by Bord Pleanala, over ruling their own inspector who had recommended refusal – the inspector had said “To grant planning permission for the development in its current form would have drastic adverse effects on the character and appearance of Crosshaven”

Flemings / Coleman Bros refused planning for a project in Blarney that would have built 2500 homes, schools, medical centre, amenities etc – the council refused it due to lask of infrastructure along with lack of open space, amenities etc (makes you wonder what pre planning talks are for) – Irish Examiner says the developers will appeal and are apparently confident of a positive outcome. Cant see the infrastructure being built in the next few weeks though so why so positive ?
