10.54 Cork City Council’s ambition for the City Docks is that it should be developed as a new City Centre neighbourhood that it is attractive to live in for a broad spectrum of household sizes and dwelling type choices Cork City Council will aim to ensure that residential frontage at ground floor level is comprised of own-door family units, as far as possible. This will ensure that frontage is fine grain and benefits from frequent front doors, as well as ensuring that family homes are on lower floor levels accessible to communal and public open space for children. A range of block, building and dwelling typologies are possible to achieve this configuration.
10.57 Cork City Council aims to ensure that the City Docks is developed as a balanced and sustainable residential neighbourhood that is inclusive, in accordance with national policy and best practice.
