Cork City Council is committed to preparing a framework plan for development of Blarney / Stoneview. Stoneview is described in Chapter 10 as a large area earmarked for residential and employment development that requires investment in transport and utilities infrastructure to enable growth. Stoneview is recognised for its strategic potential to deliver transit orientated development, given its position on the Dublin Cork Railway line. Stoneview will require significant investment and upgrades to infrastructure to support the planned development of Tier 1 and Tier 2 lands. The ongoing infrastructure issues in Stoneview will not impact development in Blarney, as the framework plan will take into consideration the separate issues needed to be addressed in both areas. See the response to the OPR submission 426 in Part 2, Section 1 regarding
Blarney / Stoneview. Recommendation: No change.
This submission notes that a number of targets are set out in the Draft Plan (e.g. growth targets in Figure 2.18, Tables 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, etc), but no targets for net new units of Traveller accommodation are provided, or numerical targets for social housing allocations to Travellers. Requests that these should be included in the final CDP.

The growth targets set out in Tables 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 are for overall unit provision and do not identify between different tenures, types and sizes. All nine of the Draft Plan strategic objectives are based on an overall vision of community focused neighbourhood planning. Chapter 3 (Delivering Homes and Communities) includes for more specific objectives on housing tenures, types and mixes. Recommendation: No change.
