The “ZO 03 Tier 3 Residential Neighbourhoods” zoning designation on this site was a mapping error. It is recommended to zone this site accordingly. Recommendation: Change zoning of specified site from “ZO 03 Tier 3 Residential Neighbourhoods” to “ZO 02 New Residential Neighbourhoods”. As part of the preparation of this 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 this 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 behind the defences due to overtopping or breach, and that there may be no guarantee that the defences will be maintained in perpetuity. The zoning for this area has been determined in accordance with the Guidelines for The Planning System and Flood Risk Management and is considered appropriate. Recommendation: No change. Cork City Council have identified and zoned land in a largely residential area to the northwest of Ballincollig Town Centre. Cork City Council have zoned a number of sites for new schools in the Draft Plan, the optimum sites have been identified in conjunction with the Department of Education. Cork City Council will work with
