Submission to the Draft Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028

This submission requests the following provisions in the forthcoming CDP for Ardarostig:

• Extend the ZO 02 New Residential Neighbourhoods zoning to include our clients’ lands. Our clients’ lands are currently zoned as the City Hinterland under the Draft Plan however the subject site occupies an important strategic position with Metropolitan Cork which is in close proximity to commercial, business and employment areas. The subject lands are within close proximity to Cork Airport, the N71, N22, public transport, neighbourhood shopping centre and existing residential area.
• It is considered that the lands are entirely suitable for development as the site is identified as a Strategic Land Reserve (SLR 6) in the current Ballincollig Carrigaline Local Area Plan 2017.
• The rezoning of our client’s site would deliver a socially inclusive and economically vibrant urban precent within an existing neighbourhood and working environment. It would also provide physical, social and amenity infrastructure with new housing and promote permeability through the site to integrate the location more successfully with the adjoining community to site directly adjoining our clients lands to the north and north west.
