Wilton, Cork

The Land Development Agency (LDA) has published draft plans for 350 new affordable homes at its newly acquired site in Wilton, Cork.

The Agency and ESB reached agreement on the transfer of the land on Sarsfield road in August this year.

The proposed development will include 154 one-bed apartments, 180 two-bed apartments and 16 three-bed townhouses, as well as a creche, landscaped open spaces and new pedestrian and cycle greenway links. The homes will be a mix of cost rental and affordable purchase, the latter delivered through the Local Authority Affordable Purchase Scheme.

The new homes will be in an ideal location – just over 4km from Cork city centre, with great transport links. The site is next to Wilton Shopping Centre and only a short walk or cycle from Cork University Hospital, Munster Technological University, schools, shops and other local services.

The LDA is encouraging local residents, businesses and community groups to contribute to this initial consultation process, to help inform and shape the proposals.

A planning application will be submitted in early 2025

In line with our Community and Stakeholder Engagement Strategy, the LDA is now seeking views from the local community on the draft proposals to inform the planning application and is encouraging local residents, businesses and community groups to engage and contribute to the design process.

The LDA has a dedicated Community Liaison Officer (CLO) which can be contacted through the email address below
