Residential Uses
ZO1 Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods Zoning Objective 1: To protect and provide for residential uses and amenities, local services and community, institutional, educational and civic uses. ZO 1.1 The provision and protection of residential uses and residential amenity is a central objective of this zoning. This zone covers large areas of Cork City’s built-up area, including inner-city and outer suburban neighbourhoods. While they are predom- inantly residential in character these areas are not homogenous in terms of land uses and include a mix of uses. The vision for sustainable residential development in Cork City is one of sustainable residential neighbourhoods where a range of residential accommodation, open space, local services and community facilities are available within easy reach of residents. ZO 1.2 Development in this zone should generally respect the character and scale of the neighbourhood in which it is situated. Development that does not support the primary objective of this zone will be resisted. ZO 1.3 Primary uses in this zone include residential uses, crèches, schools, home-based economic activity, open space and places of public worship. ZO 1.4 Uses that contribute to sustainable residential neighbourhoods are also acceptable in principle in this zone provided they do not detract from the primary objective of protecting residential ameni- ty and do not conflict with other objectives of this Development Plan. Such uses include but are not limited to: small-scale local services including local convenience shops; community facilities; cultural facilities; hotels and hostels; live-work units;
