Introduction to the Chief Executive’s Report
1.1 The Process to Date
Cork City Council is in the process of reviewing and preparing a new City Development Plan.
Pre-draft Stage
This process began with the publication of the Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028 Stage 1: Pre-Plan consultation Issues Paper: Our City, Our Future in June 2020. The Issues Paper provided the context of the new City Development Plan and explained how it fits into the national hierarchy of plans with the National Planning Framework (NPF), Southern Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy (RSES) and Cork Metropolitan Area Strategic Plan (MASP), as well as the Cork Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy (CMATS) and the Cork City Climate Adaptation Plan 2019. It set out a series of themes and questions that need to be considered in the preparation of the new City Development Plan. There was a significant response to the consultation process, which ran from 26 June until 21 August 2020, with 390 submissions received. Details of the submissions and the issues raised are included in the Chief Executive’s Report Volumes I and II of the pre-draft consultation dated October 2020. Cork City Council consulted considerably during the period October 2020 and July 2021 with statutory bodies and other stakeholders as part of the plan- making process. 16 workshops between the Executive and Elected Members were held relating to the City Development Plan review.
