It is respectfully requested that Cork City Council give serious consideration to the inclusion of these lands within a residential zoning for the following reasons:

• There is an acute need for residential development within the city area.

• These lands are serviced, have access and are sequential in the development of the city boundary in line with the regeneration of Tivoli and planned infrastructure investment.

• The residential zoning of the lands would be appropriate against the considerations set out in the National Development Plan Guidelines that are relevant to proper planning and sustainable development.

• Cork City Council must prioritise the development of lands such as the subject site that are serviceable, accessible, and deliverable within the short term in the emerging Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028.
