The need to support existing communities and to further enhance the delivery of services in urban areas is a key goal identified in this plan, in particular this is highlighted in Objectives 2.10 Mix of Uses, 2.11 Design-Led City and 2.12 Walkable Neighbourhoods. Each of these objectives clearly supports the delivery of services to existing communities in a manner that contributes positively to the receiving environment. Therefore the proposed additions to Objective 2.14 NeighbourhoodMix, which is intended to promote strong mixed uses, are not considered necessary. The protection and enhancement of existing neighbourhoods and communities is expressed in Objectives 2.10, 2.11, 2.12 and set out under the subheading ‘City of Walkable Neighbourhoods & Communiti es’. Recommendation: No change. Strategic Objective 7 Arts, Heritage and Culture sets out the main issues related to arts, heritage and culture in Cork City. As noted above, the wording of this Strategic Objective is not a comprehensive or exhaustive list of all matters to be addressed in Chapter 8 but a general guide. Chapter 8 includes policies that address protection of the historic city, these include the record of protected structures and designated historic streetscapes as well as Objectives 8.18, 8.19, 8.22, 8.23, 8.25, 8.26, 8.27, 8.28 and 8.30 which outline comprehensive policy objectives for protecting the historic city alongside new development. Recommendation: No change.
This submission proposes to include, as part of SO 7, the protection of the services and environment of historic areas to promote regeneration and protect existing fragile neighbourhoods and develop policy on architecture and design for the historic centre including the care of historic buildings to capitalise on the unique identity of the City as demonstrated by the City of Copenhagen.
