Chief Executive’s Response & Recommendation
No change.
These submissions refer to the approach outlined in the Core Strategy for the Docklands. (i) The submission would like to see a stronger replication of the standards as set out for the Tivoli Docklands for the urban realm vision and detail reflected throughout the Plan. This development is somewhat in the future whilst we need to be setting these standards now. (ii) The submission also states that there is an over emphasis placed on the development of the Docklands area during the lifetime of the plan. The submission states that there are major infrastructural constraints and the growth target is reliant on too many variable factors to deliver and will most likely lead to a failure to achieve housing targets.

(i) The planned approach for development and delivery of the Tivoli Docks regeneration is part of the medium term vision for cork City. Support for the ambitious public realm plan for the area is welcomed, however there is currently a deficit in infrastructure and services in the area to deliver this vision in the short and medium term. The draft Development Plan sets out a suite of framework plans and regeneration plans that will be prepared to enable cohesive development of areas throughout the City. Recommendation: No change. (ii) The planned delivery and development of new employment, housing and supporting infrastructure in Cork Docklands is of national significance and is recognised as major development project in the NPF. The planned development of this regeneration project asserts Cork City Council’s commitment to deliver significant investment in infrastructure to deliver the vision for the Cork Docklands, supported by the URDF and LIHAF.
Recommendation: No change.
