Freefoam Plastics Limited Support the Plan-led Regeneration of Cork City Docks

Ábhair: 

The purpose of this submission is to:

  1. Confirm Freefoam Plastics Limited’s support for the plan led regeneration of Cork City Docks to as an exemplar development for regeneration and design quality in Europe.
  2. Freefoam Plastics Limited acknowledges Cork City Council’s intention to work with its partners to find solutions to the relocating of existing low intensity light industrial (and related) uses to newly developed industrial estates in locations around the City.
  3. Freefoam Plastics Limited acknowledges that the Cork City Council is committed to utilising Compulsory Purchase Order powers under relevant legislation as required to enable infrastructure delivery necessary to unlock the potential of the Cork City Docks to create a sustainable neighbourhood.

Paragraph 7.56 of the Cork City Draft Development Plan 2022 – 2028 details that: There are a number of general industrial uses in transitional parts of Cork City where planned regeneration is proposed, such as Tivoli and Docklands, but also in areas that are under regeneration influence such as Tramore Road.  Cork City Council supports and will facilitate the relocation of these industries to more appropriate and suitable premises, including the strategic employment locations identified in this Plan.”

As the leading manufacturer of a wide range of innovative uPVC fascia and soffit products, and being significant landowners located along Centre Park Road, Freefoam Plastics Limited is considered a key partner in delivering the regeneration of the Cork City Docks.  It is further noted that Cork City Council will support and facilitate the relocation of Freefoam Plastics from Cork City Docks, to more appropriate and suitable premises when required.

The Cork City Draft Development Plan 2022 – 2028 details under Infrastructure Programme & Delivery Strategy, paragraph 10.126 that in the delivery of the infrastructural projects that are necessary to unlock the potential of the City Docks and to create a sustainable neighbourhood, the Cork City Council is committed to utilising Compulsory Purchase Order powers under relevant legislation as required to enable infrastructure delivery.

Freefoam Plastics Limited acknowledges that Cork City Council is committed to utilising Compulsory Purchase Order powers under relevant legislation as required to enable infrastructure delivery and as such will rely on the fundamental principle in Compulsory Acquisition of Lands, i.e. the principle of equivalence which is at the root of statutory compensation.  The principle that the owners shall be paid neither less nor more than his loss.
