These zones may impact new development, but facilitate existing development uses that may require small scale development such as small extensions. Development proposals within these zones shall be accompanied by a detailed Flood Risk Assessment, carried out in accordance with The Planning System and Flood Risk Assessment Guidelines and Circular PL 2/2014 (or as updated), which shall assess the risks of flooding associated with the proposed development. 12.21 Proposals shall only be considered favourably where it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of Cork City Council that they would not have adverse impacts or impede access to a watercourse, flood- plain or flood protection and management facilities, or increase the risk of flooding to other locations
