CSA said it will address a need for affordable housing identified by Cornwall Council.
However, it has received a number of objections, with concerns about a proposed entrance near Treliever roundabout, increased traffic and loss of a greenfield site among the reasons.
There is also a question mark over the actual need.
Among comments left on the Cornwall Council website, resident Patricia Barnes said: "The access is too near to the roundabout to be safe.
"There is no evidence that local people are queuing up to live in Mabe or are even able to afford to live in Mabe. To build on a green site is not justified."
Faye Bastian said: "When the existing flats have been put on the market it has taken a very long time for them to sell, surely this shows more houses here are not needed.
"Mabe is a small village with too much traffic as it is and Treliver road is difficult and overcrowded."
The application has yet to be discussed by Mabe Parish Council.
It can be viewed at www.cornwall.gov.uk reference PA12/09580.
