Context Response
The nine strategic objectives set out as the framework for the Draft Plan are centred on the delivery of Compact Liveable Growth (see fig. 2.4). Chapters 2 (Core Strategy), 3 (Delivering Homes and Communities), 4 (Transport and Mobility), 9 (Placemaking and Development) and 10 (Key Growth Areas and Neighbourhood Development Sites) set out detailed objectives to achieve a more compact, sustainable transport orientated and inclusive city from a local/neighbourhood perspective. Chapter 2 (Core Strategy) sets out an approach of using 10-minute walkable neighbourhoods as the building blocks (fig. 2.10 and fig. 2.11) to deliver the 15- minute city concept (fig. 2.9). This is translated into a series of objectives which seek to the move away from “suburban sprawl development”. Key Growth Areas (fig. 2.21) are identified to accommodate the ambitious population growth targets for Cork City and Metropolitan Area as set out in the NPF and Southern RSES, with a focus on targeting 66% of all future residential development within the existing built-up footprint (fig. 2.21 and table 2.5). Key Neighbourhood Development Sites (fig. 2.21) identified in the core strategy, are supported by specific site objectives set out in Chapter 10 (Key Growth Areas and Neighbourhood Development Sites).
