Cork City Council has given the green light for a new large-scale residential development adjacent to Musgrave Park, which the developers have said will 'rejuvenate' the local community.
BML Duffy Property Group Limited sought planning permission in June to transform a long-vacant industrial site into a new housing scheme, with the plans including 170 new homes on the former Vita Cortex site, a 1.2-hectare brownfield plot located between the Kinsale Road and Pearse Road.
The approved development will comprise 158 apartments and 12 townhouse apartments. This will consist of 51 one-bed units, 84 two-bed units and 35 three-bed units. The homes would be distributed across four blocks, the tallest of which will reach nine storeys.
