Plan to build 362 residential units in Carrigaline

Plans for the construction of 362 residential units in Carrigaline have been lodged with Cork County Council.

The application was submitted by Bridgewater Homes Ltd last week.

They seek to demolish all existing structures on a 12.97 hectare site at Mountain Road, Kilmoney, Carrigaline, in order to allow for the construction of a large-scale residential development.

The planned development would include 362 residential units to include 318 dwelling houses, comprising a mix of two-, three- and four-bed semi-detached and townhouse/terraced units, and 44 two-bed apartment/duplex units.

It would also include a creche with a community room and café.

The plans also seek permission for additional works including access, footpaths, car and bicycle parking, drainage, including a pumping station, bicycle and bin stores, lighting, and landscaping areas.

Site development include all associated ancillary development works.

These would include vehicular and pedestrian access, a three-metre shared surface pedestrian and cycle link on the existing laneway to the east, upgrades to the Mountain Road to the north and east of the site to include pedestrian crossings, traffic calming, and a three-metre shared cycle/footpath facility connecting on to the Kilmoney Road, as well as all other ancillary development at Mountain Road, Kilmoney, Carrigaline.

The application is currently at the pre-validation stage.

Cork County Council is due to make a decision by April 1.
