(ii) The Draft Plan fully supports the strategic significance of the port and includes support for the relocation of port activities in Cork Harbour. For specific objectives in relation relocating Seveso sites and the M28 refer to Chapter 4 Chapter 10 Tivoli Docks and City Docks of the Draft Plan.

This report supports the urban density and building height strategy set out in Chapter 10, Section 3 (Tivoli) of the Draft Plan. The strategy allows for more site specific densities and building height ranges than set out in the city wide urban density and building height study reflected in Chapter 3 of the Draft Plan.
