This submission to the Draft Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028 has been prepared by Cunnane Stratton Reynolds in accordance with section 12(2)(b) of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended.
This submission is made on behalf of our client, Ballyvolane Development Company Limited, and relates to their lands at Ballyvolane Cork which form part of Cork City administrative area following the 2019 extension to the city boundary.
Our clients have an overall landholding of 1.47 Ha at Ballyvolane, Cork City. This land is located within a District Centre/ Retail zoning in the adopted Local Area Plan. The Draft Cork City Development Plan 2022 unjustifiably proposes to rezone these lands for Public Open Space.
We believe that there may have been deliberations in preparing the Draft Development Plan whether to retain part of our client’s site within the District Centre zoning.
This submission requests that 0.49Ha of this land is included within the Sustainable Residential Neighbourhood Zoning in the Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028. This part of our client’s site is suitable for residential development and its residential zoning must be considered
