This is a modest backland site that is currently zoned as “ Existing Built Up Area ” in the 2017 Municipal District Local Area Plan. Its omission from the “ZO 01 Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods” was an error and it is recommended to zone this site accordingly. Recommendation: Change zoning of specified site from “ZO 21 City Hinterland” to “ZO 1 Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods”. There is significant vacancy on the north side of the town centre, principally along the streets which form part of the Ballincollig Town Centre Development, which was completed in 2007. There is also some vacancy within the Castlewest Ballincollig Shopping Centre itself. The challenge for Ballincollig through this Plan is to reduce the vacancy levels on the North side of the main street particularly in the Town Centre Development whilst consolidating the current offering, as reflected for example in paragraph 10.211 of the Draft Plan. Cork City Council considers that rezoning of these lands for retail use would undermine the town centre and contravene the aim of this Plan to protect the vitality and viability of Ballincollig as a retail centre. Recommendation: No change. Considering the immediate land use pattern in this area, it is recommended that it would be appropriate to extend the “ZO 9 Neighbourhood and Local Centres” zoning beyond the footprint of
Proposed rezoning of lands at former Supernova site, Westpoint Business Park, from “ZO 01 Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods” to “ZO 9 Neighbourhood and Local Centres”, acknowledging the lands being brownfield lands.
