Cork City Council has refused plans for almost 20 new apartments in the northside.
Developers Michael and Siobhan O'Regan sought planning permission to demolish Rebrona Court House, located on St Theresas Road and Ballymacthomas St in Gurranabraher, to make way for the construction of 17 apartments.
The apartments were to comprise a mix of one- and two-bedroom units and included ancillary works such as pedestrian access, landscaping, drainage and bike stores.
