This submission requests the following provisions in the forthcoming CDP:
Our client’s lands occupy an important strategic position within Metropolitan Cork, forming part of the city’s suburbs at Maryborough Hill, Douglas.
The Draft Plan includes Tier 1 zoning, which comprise zoned lands that are sufficiently serviced to accommodation new development.
The Draft Plan includes a Tier 3 zoning, which are strategic lands necessary for long-term planning of infrastructure, given the ambition growth target set out in the NPF, but also provide for substitution of Tier 1 or Tier 2 lands that do not come forward for development within this Plan period, where appropriate.
Our client’s lands are currently zoned as the Metropolitan Greenbelt under the Draft Plan. However, it is considered that these lands are perfectly suited to be zoned for a mix of Tier 1 “ZO 2 New Residential Neighbourhoods” and Tier 3 “ZO-03: Residential Neighbourhood”.
We request that the northern portion of our client’s lands be zoned as Tier 1 “ZO-03: Residential Neighbourhood” and the southern portion of our client’s lands be zoned as Tier 3 “ZO-03: Residential Neighbourhood”.
