Chief Executive’s Response & Recommendation
in Cork Harbour SPA, such as: “To ensure that the disposal of construction and demolition waste from large infrastructure projects is fully accounted for, and avoids being disposed in environmentally sensitive sites in the Cork Harbour area.”
Guidance on Management of Construction Sites including management of construction and demolition waste as part of the planning process is set out in Chapter 11 Placemaking and Managing Development. Recommendation: No change. Chapter 9 deals specifically with the issue of waste management and how the transition to a circular economy is a key part of this. Other aspects of the Circular Economy are referenced in Chapters 1 and 7. The City Development Plan is a strategic document which sets out how the waste management function for the City is part of a wider National and Regional structure. Objective 9.11 should be read in conjunction with paragraphs 9.14-9.17, which reference this. Recommendation: No change. This is an operational issue outside the scope of the City Development Plan, which is a strategic document. Recommendation: No change. The draft plan supports sustainable waste management and provides guidance on design standards for waste storage facilities and management in Chapter 11. However the provision of additional bins is operational issue outside the scope of the Development Plan. Recommendation: No change.
The Circular Economy is not just about waste, but how we use material resources. This understanding is completely lacking in the Draft Plan, including Objective 9.11 Waste Management.
