the building concerned to encompass the western area of the subject lands. Recommendation: Extend the “ZO 9 Neighbourhood and Local Centres” to encompass western portion of the subject lands. A portion of these lands are currently zoned for Educational use in the 2017 Municipal District Local Area Plan. There is an acute need for new school sites in Ballincollig as a number of schools are currently in temporary accommodation not ideally suited to educational use. In addition, population requirements for Ballincollig indicate that a minimum of 2 new schools and potentially 3 will be needed in the short to medium term. Given this site ’ s location in an established residential area with access to transport links and the potential to serve a wide catchment, these lands are considered suitable for educational use. Recommendation: No change. As part of the preparation of this Draft Development Plan, Cork City Council has updated the indicative flood zone mapping for this area to take account of the information that has become available from the South Ballincollig Drainage Study. The flood zones illustrated in the Draft Plan are based on an undefended scenario and do not take the presence of flood protection structures such as walls or embankments into account. This is to allow for the fact that there is still a residual risk of flooding
Proposed rezoning of lands from at Lisheens, Ballincollig from “ZO 13 Education” to Residential. The lands were zoned Residential in the 2017 Cork County Local Area Plan for Ballincollig & Carrigaline. The landowner is in advanced talks with a property developer to sell the site for residential development and the proposed zoning will prevent this.
