5. Other Issues
a) Zoning Maps and national road projects TII notes with concern the lack of recognition of national roads, national road projects (approved and proceeding) included on the zoning maps and figures in the Draft Development Plan. TII advises that this oversight is not conducive to the Draft Development Plan implementation nor the processing of planning applications through development management. TII recommends that this critical matter is resolved in an amended Draft Development Plan. b) Safeguarding national road drainage regimes TII would welcome consideration being given to including a new objective associated with safeguarding investment in the national road network relating to protection of national road drainage regimes. Significant improvements to the national road network have been undertaken and maintained in the Council area. There is an onus and a policy requirement on road and planning authorities to safeguard the national investment made. Recommendation TII would welcome consideration of a new Objective included in the Development Plan outlining that: The capacity and efficiency of the national road network drainage regimes in Cork City will be safeguarded.
The maps in the final Plan will reference national roads. Recommendation: Include reference to national roads in the maps in the final Plan.
It is agreed to include an objective safeguarding national road draining regimes. Recommendation: Insert new Objective in Chapter 4: Objective 4.x Safeguarding national road drainage regimes The capacity and efficiency of the national road network drainage regimes in Cork City will be safeguarded.
