strategic transport corridors for the city, recognising the importance of their delivery as part of an integrated multimodal city transport system and achieving transport orientated development in key areas. The Lee to Sea Greenway, in addition to the various multimodal transport corridors, is set to play to key function in delivering growth to Cork City and is recognised for its strategic importance within the Core Strategy. Recommendation: No change. (iv) Response: The Lee to Sea Greenway is addressed in more detail in Chapter 6 of the Draft Plan where its development is identified as a key action in Table 6.4 City Scale Green and Blue Infrastructure Opportunities and Figure 6.4. Cork City Council has prepared a number of supporting studies, including the Cork City Green and Blue Infrastructure Study, that recognise the Lee to Sea Greenway as a priority project for Cork City. Recommendation: No change. (v) Response: In light of the above it is considered that the Lee to Sea Greenway is given appropriate recognition throughout the Development Plan being of strategic importance for the City in terms of growth, sustainable land use and transport planning and will form a major part of the green and blue infrastructure programme and active recreational strategy. In this context, we believe that the Lee to Sea is suitably recognised and does not require a separate Strategic Objective to outline same. (vi) Response: The proposed amendment to the Core Strategy Map and figure 2.8 in this case is considered appropriate to clarify the status of the Lee to Sea Greenway is the Core Strategy.
