Walsh Group’s principal has a contract in respect of the subject lands and proposes to develop these lands during the lifetime of the new City Development Plan.

This submission is made in the context of concerns regarding the prospects of the City Council delivering housing and employment within the lifetime of the Plan without harnessing alternative private sector supported initiatives on sustainably located, and serviced/serviceable lands.

This submission also has regard to, and adopts much of the same rationale used by the City Council in bringing forward a proposed Variation to the existing Ballincollig – Carrigaline Municipal Area Local Area Plan in 2020.

The case for the proposed zoning amendment is supported by the attached document.
