different housing densities and the range of planning standards relevant to new developments will need to vary as densities increase. Whilst new developments of all densities will need to be assessed against all relevant planning policies and standards, it might be appropriate to apply standards more flexibly as densities increase.

11.76 11.76 All developments will need to comply with dwelling size mix set out in Tables 11.3 -11.9. 11.77 The HNDA has provided the basis for the dwelling size mix across Cork City and the identification of targets for the whole development plan period. Cork City Council has applied the household size distribution from the HNDA population modelling for the City to dwelling sizes to provide guidelines to be applied in the planning system to ensure that the forecast households will be able to find suitable accommodation in Cork City. 11.78 The HNDA forecasts a requirement for a mixed dwelling type product to meet the needs of the market, as 73% of new homes will need to be tailored around providing for households of between 1 and 3 people. When combined with location and density targets this will mean that new development will need to combine dwelling types across Cork City and its urban towns and hinterland villages.
Residential Mix
11.74 Development proposals will need to ensure that they have an appropriate residential mix in terms of dwelling type, dwelling size, tenure, and specialist housing. PRIVACY AND OVERLOOKING no overlooking potential overlooking some overlooking

11.75 The mix of dwelling type will be determined in the main by the proposed density of development. There are three main types of dwelling types in developments: Houses; Apartments; and Stacked Homes with independent access to the street. Dwelling types will generally conform to the study referenced in the table displayed above.
