◊ McCutcheon Mulcahy helps secure planning permission for landmark Cork City Centre regeneration site
Cork City Council has granted permission for a new hotel development and over 70 apartments for our clients TNP Partnership. The Kyrls Quay site is by the River Lee at the north end of Cornmarket Street.
We have worked closely with the City Council to secure permission on this landmark site for Leahy and Associates Architects' striking contemporary design that responds to its traditional setting and provides a bold modern vision for this area in need of regeneration.
The proposals also include interpretative facilities for the City Wall which intersects the site.
◊ McCutcheon Mulcahy’s crucial role in the Transformation of Cork City’s South Docks
McCutcheon Mulcahy Planning Consultants submitted a planning application to Cork City Council on 30th June 2008 for a major high density mixed use development for the Halls Site on behalf of Origin Enterprises plc.
The application proposes over 50,000sqm of commercial and residential use floorspace for the site that lies in close proximity to Cork City Centre. Two high quality contemporary designed buildings and a new street are proposed. 165 generously sized apartments, including many suitable for families, are envisaged as well as two bar/restaurants, a café, a local shop, a gym and a crèche. Around half of the proposed floorspace will be in office use.
The site will act as a catalyst for further redevelopment in the Docklands by expressing a visible signal of confidence in the area and, given its location, will act as a vital link to the existing City Centre. The application is the first for the western end of the South Docks.
McCutcheon Mulcahy has provided planning guidance to Origin throughout the pre-planning process, advising on the proposed use mix and on compliance with planning policy and has liaised with Cork City Council. The practice has prepared the planning submission, played a crucial role in the production of a Masterplan document and Precinct Strategy for the overall Origin landholding and co-ordinated and contributed to the Environmental Impact Statement on the proposals.
We will continue to work to ensure the success of this planning application.
