It is essential that community infrastructure is provided to serve the needs of the new residential neighbourhood. It is therefore recommended to change the land use strategy for this part of the Docklands, as there is considered to be a very strong and compelling planning and locational rationale to grouping these facilities on the ESB South Site, due to its relationship with adjacent sites which are proposed to include community infrastructure also. An alternative considered was to move the sports uses or schools use to the ESB North site, however for planning reasons it is more favourable to leave the ESB North site available for a comprehensive residential scheme and to group the community infrastructure south of Centre Park Road. Recommendation: Change the zoning for the ESB (south) lands as follows: (i) Change zoning to resemble the existing zoning alignment in the current Cork City Development Plan 2015 for “ZO 13 Education ” and enlarge this zoning westwards by 20 metres to increase the size of the site. (ii) Move the “ZO 17 Sports Grounds a nd Facilities” to the west of the “ZO 13 Education” from (i) above site to create a sports campus adjacent to the school. Also, (iii) Change zoning site fronting onto Marquee Road from “ZO 17 Sports Grounds and Facilities” to “ZO 2 New Residential Neighbourhoods ” (see submission 303).
