Submission to Draft Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028 Proposed Neighbourhood Centre on behalf of Melbourne Management Company Ltd.
Refer to report attached
This submission proposes to rezone Melbourne Business Park (MBP) from Light Industrial to ‘ZO 09 Neighbourhood and Local Centre’ for the following reasons:
• The Model Farm Road area has a very significant catchment population which is not served by any local/neighbourhood centre
• A new local/neighbourhood centre on Model Farm Road in line with
the Council’s objective to provide a walkable City
• The need for a new local/neighbourhood centre on Model Farm
Road was identified by the Council as far back as the 2007
• The provision of a neighbourhood centre is fully in accordance with the 2012 Retail Planning Guidelines
