There are plans for the construction of over 700 apartments at the former CMP dairy site on the Kinsale Road.
The plans could see 706 apartments and a childcare facility developed on the key location.
The CMP site has remained largely idle since it closed in 2006.
The Echo reports the latest plans for the site follow the withdrawal around four years ago by Dairygold of its proposal to redevelop the site with the construction of a large retail warehouse and showroom and café/restaurant as well as a primary healthcare centre and pharmacy.
