The purpose of this submission is to request that Cork City Council consider a revision of the Density and Building Heights Strategy to allow for a greater degree of flexibility regarding the redevelopment of larger sites in the new Cork City Development Plan. Specifically, Cork City Council is requested to add the following new objectives to Chapter 11 Placemaking and Managing Development
After the sub-section on Tall Buildings:
Tall buildings will normally be appropriate where they are accessible to a high quality public transport system which is in operation or proposed and programmed for implementation.
After the sub-section on Residential Density:
Within the city, residential density in suburban areas greater than 50 units/ha will be appropriate at locations along bus routes and on larger development sites (>0.5ha) capable of generating and accommodating their own character.
