Developers Murnane and O'Shea Limited lodged plans in July for a ten-year planning permission for a large-scale residential development spanning 544 homes at Greenfield in Ballincollig. The proposed development will see an existing home and farmyard demolished to make way for the major mixed-use residential development. Of the 232 homes proposed, 100 are four-bedroom detached or semi-detached homes, 124 are three-bedroom semi-detached or townhouse homes, and the remaining eight are two-bedroom townhouse units. "We consider that the proposed development represents the sequential and sustainable expansion of Ballincollig and will reflect a high-quality residential development for future occupiers," the developers added. Vehicular access to the proposed site will be via two entrances from Greenfields Road, with separate pedestrian/cycle connections also provided from Greenfields Road.
