11(2)(bc) of the Planning and Development Act 2000. Our client welcomes the publication of the Draft Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028 and the opportunity to participate in the plan making process which will inform the future development of Cork City.
The purpose of this submission is to request that Cork City Council recognise Rathcooney as a ‘Hinterland Settlement’ and allow for sustainable growth through infill, brownfield or edge of centre development within a defined settlement boundary.
As outline in Section 3.5, The Draft CDP also includes a number of ‘Hinterland Settlements’ including Killeens, Glanmire Upper and Kerry Pike where growth is facilitated through infill, brownfield or edge of centre development.
Rathcooney is comparable in size to some of the other designated ‘Hinterland Settlements’, especially Killeens i.e. it has a higher population and has a mix of residential and other uses including employment uses, a large sports complex (Old Christians Sports complex) and a community cemetery. The area is also located on a ‘BusConnects’ route between the City and Glanmire.
Accordingly, this submission requests the following provisions in the forthcoming CDP for Rathcooney:
▪ Recognise Rathcooney as a ‘Hinterland Settlement’ and allow for sustainable growth through infill development within a defined settlement boundary
