Volume 1 Written Statement

6.71 The Planning and Development Acts sets out the legal framework and procedures to make a Tree Preservation Order (TPO).

During the lifetime of the Development Plan, Cork City Council will continue to evaluate trees in the City and, where appropriate, make new Tree Protection Orders.

Geology

6.72 The Geology of Cork City is an integral part of our natural heritage and defines the landscape and layout of the city. The City has two unaudited County Geological sites (CGSs): • Blackrock diamond quarry, Ballintemple, (GR 169400, 071400), under IGH Theme IGH 6 Mineralogy. • St. Joseph’s section on Lee Road, (GR 164000, 071400), under IGH Theme IGH 10 Devonian. 6.73 Cork City Council recognises the need to maintain and preserve important features of geological interest in the City and will work with relevant stakeholders, as appropriate, to conserve the sites identified as being of geological interest.
