Introduction
13.4 It is not possible to monitor every aspect of a Development Plan. Traditionally local authorities monitor the number of planning applications made each year, and the number of houses delivered. While these are useful statistics, other data must be monitored to ascertain the effectiveness of this Plan and ensure it is aligned with the National Planning Framework (NPF) and Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy (RSES). To establish an effective monitoring regime Cork City Council will commit to monitoring a range of actions and objectives set out in this Plan to better understand the extent to which objectives of this Plan are being realised. 13.5 The overarching issues which will be monitored are the delivery of homes, the delivery of employment, climate change, education, health and environment. The delivery of sites identified in the Core Strategy for housing will also be closely monitored, in order to ensure that this Plan delivers compact growth in Cork City. This Plan also identifies several Neighbourhood Development Sites (within Ch.10), and Cork City Council will monitor the delivery of compact, sustainable development on these sites.
13.1 This Draft Development Plan sets out Cork City Council’s strategic vision and strategy for the sustainable growth of Cork City over the Plan period of 2022-2028 and presents a framework for the development of Cork City in the long term. 13.2 The Core Strategy, Objectives and Land Use Zoning Objectives in this Plan will guide future development proposals through the planning application and Council development (“Part 8”) application processes. Cork City Council is legally obliged to implement the provisions of this Plan and is committed to securing its objectives to secure the long-term, sustainable development of Cork City.
Monitoring
13.3 It is essential to monitor the implementation of the Development Plan and in particular the Core Strategy and Strategic Objectives to ensure that the development of Cork City is aligned with national and regional frameworks. Monitoring is also important to understand how effective the Development Plan’s objectives are in securing the delivery of compact, sustainable development.
