To, Whom it Concerns,
Our Client Colm Kelleher has contracted CEAarchitects to create and lodge an observation outlining his concerns regarding the amendments to his land in the draft City Development Plan which was presented for public opinion.
Mr Kelleher is currently preparing a planning application to secure permission for the development of 20 dwelling units on his land at Ballinvriskig, Upper Glanmire, Cork City. Folio CK180418F and Folio CK145542F as mapped below (and on PRA compliant maps) in the Appendix.
Mr Kelleher's concerns surround Cork City Councils indicated intention to remove his land from the settlement boundary of Upper Glanmire within which he has resided (folio CK145542F) since purchasing his property twelve years ago. He observes that a more proper utilisation of his land would be as developable stock for the settlement of Upper Glanmire in accordance with the current local area plan and aspirations of the NPF and RSES. As such he requests that Cork City Council revise the alterations to the map and include his lands within the Developable settlement.
Please see attached PDF document for the rationale for his observation and argument to maintain the In-settlement zoning currently held by his lands.
Regards,
CEAarchitects
Please see attached documentation.
Revise the alterations to the zoning of Colm Kellehers Lands to include them within the Developpable settlement boundary.
The site is prime developable land (as demonstrated in the attached documents) and its development would be in line with the stated aspirations and tenets of the NPF, RSES and Cobh Local Area Plan. As such, the site could contribute to the NPF and RSES required Cork City housing stock growth without further infrastructural development and within the national and regional development guidelines.
Cork City Councils' proposal to move the land outside the settlement would be deleterious to the proper development of the settlement and serviced hinterland.
Any development on the site, particularly the development Mr Kelleher proposed to be lodged would contribute positively to the settlement.
