Designated Sites and Protected Species & Information to be considered for Development
(i) This submission puts forward several concerns to several areas in the Plan. In relation to Chapter 6. The submission requests:
395
This is an error and the text of Objectives 6.23 and 6.24 will be amended – refer to submission from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (submission 395) in Part 3, Appendices. Recommendation: Amend wording – refer to submission from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (submission 395) in Part 3, Appendices.
• Nature Conservation
Development plan is required to include an objective for the conservation and protection of European sites (in this case the Cork Harbour Special Protection Area – SPA no. 4030). Objectives 6.23 Designated Sites and Protected Species and 6.24 Information to be considered for Development affecting Designated Sites appear (from their titles) to set out to do that, but there has been an error of transposition, in that both refer to rights of way and not designated or proposed sites. Reference to Cork County Development Plan is recommended for the type of wording necessary for such objectives, and also to ensure compatibility of plan objectives for the same site.
