Objective 7.33
Retail Warehousing To improve the quality of retail warehouse / bulky goods floorspace, in accord-ance with the retail hierarchy and settlement strategy. Proposals for new retail warehousing / bulky goods floorspace should be located within District Centres or large Urban Town Centres or other lands zoned for retail warehousing. The development of new out-of-town retail parks or accommodating retail warehouse uses within industrial estates / business parks will generally be discouraged. The range of goods sold in retail warehouses should be restricted to the sale of bulky household items. The floorspace within retail warehouse / bulky goods units de-voted to ‘ancillary products’ shall not exceed 20% of the total net retail floorspace of the relevant retail warehouse / bulky goods unit.
Retail Impact Assessments
All significant retail planning applications must be supported by a comprehensive Retail Impact Assessment as outlined in the Retail Planning Guidelines (2012). Cork City Council will determine the requirement to submit a Retail
Impact Assessment prior to or during the determination of an application.
