Planning permission has been granted by An Coimisiún Pleanála, following a third-party appeal, for a large-scale residential development (LRD) on the site of the former Vita Cortex Plant, located between Kinsale Road and Pearse Road in Cork City. The long-inactive brownfield site is now the focus of a major regeneration effort aiming to deliver new homes and community-focused amenities.
The full set of visuals played a key role in enabling evidence-based decision-making by the local authority. Our daylight and sunlight assessment proved particularly valuable, informing key design considerations early in the project. By collaborating closely with the design team, we were able to contribute insights that significantly improved the scheme’s performance from a daylight and sunlight perspective.
Approved plans outline the construction of 170 residential units, comprising 158 apartments and 12 townhouse apartments. The unit mix includes 51 one-bedroom, 84 two-bedroom, and 35 three-bedroom homes. These will be arranged across four blocks, varying in height from four to nine storeys.

In addition to residential use, the scheme incorporates several amenities, including a crèche, a café, and four retail units proposed for one of the blocks. Future residents will also benefit from a range of communal courtyards and public open spaces.
The plans also include provision for dedicated bicycle parking, along with shared car and motorcycle parking spaces.

An Coimisiún Pleanála has upheld planning permission for a new Large-Scale Residential Development (LRD) on lands at the southern edge of Ratoath, Co. Meath, following a 3rd party appeal.
The approved development is located within the townlands of Commons and Jamestown and extends across a site of approximately 12.58 hectares. The scheme will deliver 364 residential units, alongside a commercial building accommodating a crèche, which will benefit future residents.
Following last year’s article on the key trends shaping the AEC industry, we are back to share what we believe will define 2026. These trends are not entirely new. Many were already building momentum in 2025. The difference this year is that they are becoming more connected, with better data, clearer processes, and higher expectations around certainty, speed, and quality.
