Cork Co. Council this week granted planning permission for 52 houses in Ballydaheen, Mallow, comprising 12-bedroom townhouses, 18 two-bedroom maisonettes, and 22 one-bed apartments. The units will range in height from two to three storeys, and permission is also being sought for the construction of three commercial units as well as a multi-purpose community space. The applicant is Boar’s Head Limited.
The site at Ballydaheen, which in years past housed a garage, forecourt and houses, has been undeveloped since it was cleared during the Celtic Tiger years, and the development is now expected to go ahead, subject to the decision not being appealed to An Bord Pleanála.
