Objective 6.1 Cork City Green & Blue Infrastructure Study and Strategy To manage, protect and enhance the Green and Blue Infrastructure assets of Cork City in line with the Cork City Green and Blue Infrastructure Strategy set out in the Development Plan, and to support the actions, opportunities and projects identified in the Cork City Green and Blue Infrastructure Study 2021. Objective 6.2 Accessibility to the Green and Blue Infrastructure Network a. Cork City Council will work with stakeholders in ensuring that green and blue infrastructure networks and spaces are accessible and safe for all. This includes seating, accessible toilet facilities, appropriate path gradients and surfacing, path widths and signage. b. Cork City Council will seek that severance or impediments to green and blue infrastructure routes by development are avoided or overcome with appropriately designed schemes. Where an access route is disrupted by development, an alternative route shall be provided, except in exceptional circumstances.
Objective 6.3
Access to Water Resources
Cork City Council will seek to work with stake- holders in facilitating safe, improved accessibility to the water environment including the River Lee and Cork Harbour and encouraging uses which optimise the amenity, tourism, recreation and leisure opportunities associated with this blue infrastructure without adversely impacting on the day-to-day economic functions of these assets.
Objective 6.4 Temporary Green and Blue Infrastructure Uses Where appropriate, support the use of temporary greening of sites awaiting development. Temporary greening shall make a positive impact to the local environment and overall amenity of the area, without prejudicing the effectiveness and viability for the longer-term use of the site, as set out in this plan.
