Public Consultation on Proposed Variation No. 2 (Cork Docklands) to the Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028
Notice is hereby given that Cork City Council, pursuant to Section 13 (2) of the Planning & Development Act 2000 (as amended), has prepared Proposed Variation (No. 2) to the Cork City Development Plan 2022 – 2028 (as varied) in respect of Cork Docklands.
Proposed Variation No. 2 (Cork Docklands) incorporates an updated policy framework and guidance for this strategic 147ha regeneration site, east of the city centre.

Part A: Updates to “Volume 1: Written Statement” of the Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028 where it relates to “Chapter 10: Key Growth Areas and Neighbourhood Development Sites (2. City Docks)”. Consequential text changes arise within “Chapter 1: Introduction”, “Chapter 11: Placemaking and Managing Development” and “Chapter 12 Land Use Zoning Objectives”.
Part B: A series of mapping updates in “Volume 2: Mapped Objectives” of the City Development Plan that relate to Map 01, (Land use zoning), Map 02 (Infrastructure) and Chapter D (Drainage).
Part C: A new “Volume 4” of the City Development Plan which contains an overview of the design strategies arising from the Framework Plan and inclusion of Supplementary Guidance.
