3.3 This Chapter sets out objectives aimed at creating and maintaining sustainable neighbourhoods and the community infrastructure needed to ensure that their diverse communities and all benefit from a good quality of life. The chapter also sets out the objectives for delivering housing to achieve the ambitious targets for Cork City and housing choice. Chapter 11: Placemaking and Managing Development provides a framework of objectives and development standards to ensure that development is of a consistently excellent design quality in compliance with the National Core Principles set out in the NPF to guide the delivery of future housing.
3.4 This Development Plan period 2022-2028 will see key challenges being tackled in delivering homes and sustainable neighbourhoods across Cork City: • A significant expansion in housing supply with a focus on bringing zoned sites forward for development within the Plan period; • A transition to increasing levels of brownfield development in accessible locations to achieve compact growth; • A shift to a gentle density approach across Cork City and an increase in the proportion of homes that are apartments and duplexes. High density development will be appropriate in the City Centre and the City Docks; • Delivery of at least five key substantial new sustainable neighbourhoods at the City Docks, Tivoli Docks, South Ballincollig (Maglin), Ballyvolane and Glanmire (South);
