Planning permission for a Large-Scale Residential Development (LRD) at Jacob's Island, Ballinure, Mahon, Cork. The proposed development represents an amendment to the permitted Strategic Housing Development (ABP-301991-18 as amended by ABP-310378-21, CCC Reg. Ref. 23/41994 and 23/42275) and extended by Cork City Council.

In the revised design the 2 no. blocks range in height from part-8 to part-12 no. storeys and will contain 39 no. 1-bedroom apartments, 170 no. 2 bedroom apartments and 2 no. 3 bedroom duplex apartments as follows: Block 3 is a building ranging in height from part-8 to part-12 no. storeys and will contain 146 no. apartments and ancillary facilities including podium car and bicycle parking, lobby areas, 2 no. refuse sorting rooms and a plant room. Block 4 is a building ranging in height from part-7 to part-8 no. storeys and contains 65 no. apartments and ancillary facilities including a lobby area, podium car and bicycle parking and bin store.
