Volume 1 Written Statement

13.6 This approach to monitoring moves toward a richer form of planning review by incorporating measurable indicators for better evaluation, and will assist Cork City Council in meeting statutory reporting requirements including the two year progress report (as required under Section 15(2) of The Act) and the report to the Southern Regional Assembly setting out progress made in support of the RSES (as required under Section 25A(1) of The Act). 13.7 Cork City Council will also seek to adapt and update the Cork City Capacity Study database for use as an urban brownfield and infill land register for the purposes of monitoring the NPF compact growth targets. Objectives within the Core Strategy address monitoring and evaluation.

and through active land management will work with developers, utilities, service providers and land owners to deliver specific development objectives for particular areas throughout the City. In particular, this will focus on development and improvement of the City Centre, addressing the vacancy, underutilisation and dereliction and supporting the development of Neighbourhood Development Sites, which are designed to unlock the potential for areas throughout the City. Cork City Council will also work with local communities to prepare and implement regeneration plans for particular areas of the City. 13.11 The City Development Plan does not function in isolation but is part of a suite of plans prepared by a range of organisations, that are designed to improve, social, economic and health outcomes for residents of Cork. Cork City Council will support the delivery of these plans. In particular, Cork City Council will play an active role in the preparation and implementation of the Local Community and Enterprise Plan. 13.12 Cork City Council is committed to continuing to build on the status of Cork as a World Health Organisation Healthy City, an Age Friendly City and a UNESCO Learning City. City Council will support initiatives that enhance the inclusivity and diversity of the City. 13.13 While development objectives often take a number of plan cycles to be fully realised, the monitoring of the delivery and implementation of this Plan will provide a first step towards assessing the Plan’s outcomes continuing through successive City Development Plans.

Delivery

delivery of the City Development Plan objectives. The Council will pursue a range of funding sources, by way of development contributions and other Council income, along with Exchequer and EU funding to support the implementation of the plan. Where appropriate, the City Council Annual Service Delivery Plans will be focused on the delivery of the Plan objectives. 13.9 Cork City Council cannot deliver the objectives of this plan in isolation.

The Council will continue to liaise with a range of other agencies to support the delivery of their strategies and plans for Cork in line with the City Development Plan. 13.10 Cork City Council will work with the private sector to unlock investment in the city in a sustainable way.
