FIVE city council housing schemes, which combined will deliver more than 250 new homes in locations across the city, have gone to public consultation in recent days.

The details of the schemes have just been published with the units set to be developed at Lehenaghmore, Glanmire, Douglas, Ballyvolane and Kinsale Road.

Lehenaghmore

The Lehenaghmore proposed development comprises the construction of a residential development of 45 houses on a 1.79-hectare site.

These houses would be a mix of three-bed and two-bed townhouses and three-bed semi-detached houses.

In Glanmire, it is proposed to develop 80 units on a 1.64-hectare site in Glyntown, Ballinglanna.

Under the scheme, four three-storey blocks would be constructed containing seven three-bed duplex apartments, three two-bed ground floor apartments, eight two-bedroom duplex apartments, and 12 one-bed ground floor apartments.

An additional two four-storey blocks containing 48 apartments would also be constructed.

These would be a mix of three, two and one-bed units.

The subdivision of the former three-storey Coach House on the site is also proposed to provide an additional two two-bed units.

Meanwhile, in Douglas, the Greenvalley proposed development, comprises the construction of a residential development of 25 units.

The site is located in Bramble Hill, Castletreasure.

The scheme would provide nine two-storey four-bed houses, eight two-storey two-bedroom duplexes and eight one-storey one-bedroom duplex apartments.

The site is located in Ballincrokig on Ballyhooly Road, with the units to be developed in six three-storey blocks.

They comprise 28 one-storey one-bed apartments, eight one-storey two-bed apartments, 28 two-storey two-bedroom duplex units, and eight two-storey three-bedroom duplex units.
