A development comprising almost 60 new homes in West Cork has been approved following an appeal by local residents to An Coimisi\u00fan Plean\u00e1la.<\/p>\n
Carmina Properties Limited got the green light from Cork County Council in May to build 57 homes on Colla Road in Schull.<\/p>\n
The scheme comprises a mix of three-, four-, and five-bedroom homes as well as one- and two-bed duplex and apartment units.<\/p>\n
Associated development works included vehicular and pedestrian access on to Colla Road, a pedestrian connection to Copper Point housing estate, footpaths, lighting, parking, landscaping and amenity areas.<\/p>\n
However, the plans were appealed to An Coimisi\u00fan Plean\u00e1la following three objections from local residents.<\/p>\n
In their submissions, objectors to the almost 60-home development in the sought-after area raised concerns about traffic, utility capacity and worries about Japanese Knotweed.<\/p>\n
One objector said the scale of the development was of “particular concern” adding: “There is potential for 302 new residents to be accommodated in this development, with parking for 113 cars, resulting in traffic associated with 113 vehicles.”<\/p>\n
Another said the proposed construction hours of 7 am to 5 pm would “seriously undermine” the enjoyment of their residence.<\/p>\n
However, An Coimisi\u00fan Plean\u00e1la approved the plans, siding with the county council, granting permission for the development with 28 conditions.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, plans for 16 new homes in Passage West have been refused by Cork County Council.<\/p>\n
Developer O\u2019Brien and O\u2019Flynn sought planning permission to construct 16 new two-storey homes at Harbour Heights, Ardmore in Passage West.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The homes were to comprise two three-bedroom semi-detached units, three three-bedroom terraced houses, nine two-bedroom terraced houses and two two-bedroom homes, as well as all associated site development works.<\/p>\n
Refusing the plans, Cork County Council said the proposed development was located on a site reserved for a nursing home.<\/p>\n
\u201cA section 47 legal agreement has been entered into to this effect, and as such it is considered that the subject site should be reserved for a nursing home and that the proposed development would be contrary to these requirements,\u201d the council said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A development comprising almost 60 new homes in West Cork has been approved following an appeal by local…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83178,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[72,4257,79,61,60],"class_list":{"0":"post-83177","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-cork-business","10":"tag-cork-news","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83177\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
