Second major apartment development refused on historic Bessborough site in Cork City

An artist's rendition of The Farm, an apartment development proposed by Estuary View Enterprises (EVE) 2020 Limited. The plan has been rejected by An Coimisiun Pleanála just days after its plan for The Meadows was refused. 

Another set of plans for an apartment development on lands of the former Bessborough mother and baby home in Cork City has been rejected just days after an even larger apartment complex in a separate part of the grounds was refused planning permission.

An Coimisiún Pleanála — formerly known as An Bord Pleanála — ruled that a proposal by developer Estuary View Enterprises (EVE) 2020 Limited, to demolish a large number of agricultural buildings and construct 140 apartments on the grounds of Bessborough House in Blackrock failed to meet the planning requirements in terms of unit mix.
