Plan for 191 build-to-rent apartments on former Cork City distillery site shot down

Developer applied to An Bord Pleanála last November for permission for an SHD to include 191 apartments, 10 parking spaces and 448 bike spaces on three adjacent sites along the N20.
Plans for 191 build-to-rent apartments in a large scheme which included the renovation of an historic former distillery mills in Cork City have been shot down.
In its ruling, An Bord Pleanála cited concerns about the impact of renovations on the historic character and architectural quality of the former Hewitts Mills structure in Blackpool — one of three adjacent sites flanking the N20 in Blackpool earmarked for the Distillery Quarter strategic housing development (SHD).
