Marina Commercial Park
Tier 1 Sites
South Docklands
Water Street Bridge
Main opinion: 

The current review of the Cork City Development Plan 2015 – 2021 provides the opportunity to tackle the implementation problems which, if not addressed, will prevent the South Docklands from making an appropriate contribution to the delivery of the very challenging population and employment targets which are set out in the Core Strategy.

Main requests: 

We request that the Draft City Plan be amended to include a clear and realistic strategy to facilitate development of the Tier 1 sites in the South Docklands within the next Plan period. In our opinion this must include provision for a multi-modal Water Street Bridge to be developed within the first tranche of the Infrastructure Programme.

Main reasons: 

It is acknowledged that radical traffic management measures will be introduced to reduce demand on the road network when a high capacity public transport network is available in the medium to long term. However, that long term objective is not sufficient reason for the failure to provide the improvements to the road network which are

(a) specific objectives of the current City Plan and SDLAP;

(b) formally approved by An Bord Pleanala under 28. HA0013; and

(c) essential to facilitate any viable redevelopment projects in the short to medium term.
