The demolition of existing structures.
Construction of 57 No. residential units consisting of:
12 No. 2 Bedroom two-storey terraced houses

4 No. 1 Bedroom Apartments as part of three-storey duplex units
16 No. 2 Bedroom Apartments as part of three-storey duplex units
All ancillary site works and signage as outlined on the plans and particulars.
Boundary Works and Treatment: Along the north-west and south-east, the existing boundaries are to be retained and supplemented to provide a 1.8m high boundary wall where required. Along the south-western boundary with Old Mallow Road – a 1.1m high rendered wall with railing above is proposed to create a boundary. Along the north-eastern boundary, the housing is proposed to be set back an adequate distance from the berm/embankment that runs along this boundary, with a noise barrier proposed along this boundary with sections becoming retaining in areas where cut is required.
In accordance with the Habitats Directive, an Appropriate Assessment (AA) Screening has been carried out on the project, in relation to any potential impacts upon the Cork Harbour Special Protection Area [Site No. 004030] and the Great Island Channel Special Area of Conservation [Site No. 001058]. The findings of the AA screening noted that no significant effects on any Natura 2000 sites is likely and it was not necessary to undertake any further stage of the Appropriate Assessment process.
In addition, the proposed development has been screened to determine whether an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is required and it has been concluded that there will be no real likelihood of significant effects on the environment arising from the proposed development and that an EIA is not required.
