(ii)
The growth targets for the City Docks will be subject to review during the lifetime of this Plan. (iii) – (iv)The approach adopted to identify Tier 3 lands seeks to comply with the sequential approach required for the zoning of lands and to ensure that sufficient lands are made available for residential development during the plan period, in accordance with Section 10 of the Planning and Development Act, 2000 (as amended). For this purpose Tier 3 lands were identified as they illustrate Cork City Council’s long term development vision for Cork City beyond the scope of this plan period up to 2040. A sequential approach must be carried out to identify Tier 1 or Tier 2 lands should this become an issue. The OPR in their submission no 426 raised the issue of Tier 3 lands and a comprehensive response is set out under “Recommendation 5” of the OPR submission, in Part 2, Section 1 of this Report. Recommendation (i)-(iv): See response set out under “Recommendation 5” of the OPR submission no 426 in Part 2, Section 1 of this Report. Cork City Council has undertaken an evidence based approach through the City Capacity Study to assess the anticipated demand for housing. The City capacity Study will comprise a wide variety of data, building on the work already carried out in the supporting studies.
No reference to the pent-up demand for housing in the City Centre in the Core Strategy or Housing and Community.
