Planning permission is being sought for the construction of nearly 100 homes in East Cork.

The application, submitted to Cork County Council, was lodged by O’Mahony Developments Ltd.

The development, consisting of 98 residential units, will be located in Carrignafoy, around 1.4km from Cobh town centre.

The residential development will include 32 two-, three-, and four-bed detached, semi-detached, and terraced houses, alongside 66 one-, two-, and three-bed duplexes/apartments, with 10 units having the option of a ground floor annex to the rear of the proposed dwellings.

The plans also provide for all associated ancillary development works including the undergrounding of existing electrical connections, access, footpaths, parking, drainage, and landscaping.

Vehicular and pedestrian access to the proposed development will be provided via the Orchard/College Manor, with pedestrian/cycle access also provided via College Lawn and the Crescent.

The proposed development is phase one of a two-phase residential development at this location.
