                  NOTICE UNDER SECTION 179 OF THE PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT ACT 2000                                         

AS AMENDED & PART 8 OF THE PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS 2001 AS AMENDED

 

Pursuant to the requirements of Part 8 of the Planning & Development Regulations 2001 as amended, Notice is hereby given that the development as described hereunder (“the proposed development”) is proposed to be carried out for Cork City Council by way of a project agreement with Culclan Construction Limited and Farranferris Developments Limited (‘’the developer’’).

 

The Wolsey Court proposed development comprises the demolition of four dwellings at no.’s 1, 2, 3, and 4 Millview Cottages and the construction of 49 no. apartments, comprising 27 no. 1 bedroom units and 22 no. 2 bedroom units in 4 no. three- to five-storey blocks at Commons Road, Blackpool, Cork, all designed to take into account the existing urban architecture.

 

The development site area is approximately 0.40 hectares. The site is located in an urban area and is located on Commons Road, in Blackpool, to the northwest of Cork City Centre.  Access to the development will be via Commons Road.

 

The proposed works include:

  • The demolition of four dwellings at no.’s 1, 2, 3, and 4 Millview Cottages
  • Construction of 49 No. residential units in 4 no. three- to five-storey blocks consisting of:
  • 27 No. 1 Bedroom Apartments
  • 22 No. 2 Bedroom Apartments
  • All ancillary site works and signage as outlined on the plans and particulars.
  • Boundary Works - To the north, further to the partial existing stone wall adjacent to the ridge, the boundary shall be completed with a 2m high palisade fence. To the west, the existing ridge forms the boundary. To both the east and the south of the site, the existing boundary is formed by stone walls, which shall be retained.

In accordance with the Habitats Directive, an Appropriate Assessment (AA) Screening has been carried out on the project, in relation to any potential impacts upon the Cork Harbour Special Protection Area [Site No. 004030] and the Great Island Channel Special Area of Conservation [Site No. 001058]. The findings of the AA screening noted that no significant effects on any Natura 2000 sites is likely and it was not necessary to undertake any further stage of the Appropriate Assessment process.

In addition, the proposed development has been screened to determine whether an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is required and it has been concluded that there will be no real likelihood of significant effects on the environment arising from the proposed development and that an EIA is not required.

Plans and particulars of the proposed development, including an Appropriate Assessment Screening Report and an Environmental Impact Assessment Screening Report, will be available for inspection from Wednesday 29th July 2020 until Thursday 27th August 2020:
