Summary:
- BAM’s proposed 503-bed student accommodation at Sullivan’s Quay, Cork City, has received a four-month extension to October 1 to provide updated environmental and design information, following concerns from Cork City Council.
- The council requested revisions due to the scheme’s scale, massing, and materials conflicting with the historic streetscape and Architectural Conservation Area status, citing adverse visual impacts on the city centre and river corridor views.
- Planners specifically called for reducing building heights from five and seven storeys to four and six storeys, alongside simplification and refinement of the design, delaying progress on the site vacant since 2019.
