services, car parking subject to mobility objectives, childcare facilities and small-scale local services that serve the local need of the primary institution or community use. ZO 14.4 Development proposals in this zone must provide high-quality built and landscaped environments that have regard to the local receiving environment. Institutions and facilities in this zone would benefit from a masterplan-led approach to developing their lands and facilities and are encouraged to engage with Cork City Council in this regard. ZO 14.5 In many cases these lands and facilities are located in suburban areas and / or adjacent to residential uses. Development in this zone, particularly where adjacent to existing residential uses, shall have regard to impacts on residential amenities. However, some uses such as hospitals have specific opera- tional requirements and realities, for example out of hours traffic movements and sirens from emergency vehicles, and where these uses are considered essential their functional operation will be supported.
These uses, if permitted, must be appropriate to the scale and context of the site and surrounding neighbourhood and must serve local needs only.
ZO14 Institutions and Community
Zoning Objective 14: To provide for and protect institutional and community uses.
ZO 14.1 This zone generally applies to large educational, healthcare and other institutions and community facilities. These are generally locally or nationally important, long-established uses with a variety of characteristics and built forms, and they play an important role in providing key strategic services for communities across the City and often much further afield. ZO 14.2 This zone seeks to protect these uses and facilitate their appropriate, sustainable development. Primary uses include healthcare, education, civic, cultural and other major community uses. ZO 14.3 Uses that are ancillary to the primary institutional and community uses may be open for consideration at an appropriate scale, subject to local consider- ations and where they are subsidiary to the primary uses and do not conflict with the purpose of the zoning objective. These ancillary uses could include sports grounds and facilities, residential accommo- dation, office-based administrative uses, support
