The issues raised in relation to Chapter 7 are noted, particularly the significant change in recent years with substantial physical and environmental enhancements following a sustained period of public and private and public sector investment and development. The submission notes that improvements made to much of the central retail and commercial core and notes that in spite of the Covid 19 pandemic there are indications that Cork City has begun to consolidate itself as the primary economic, employment, cultural and retail centre of the region and, as an attractive, dynamic and viable urban centre. The Draft Plan builds on Cork City’s role as the primary economic and retail driver of the region. The Draft Plan contains a strong suite of objective to support and develop this role. Recommendation: No change.
