Specific Zoning Request
Sub. No.
Map No. Chief Executive’s Response & Recommendation
• Mixed use redevelopment may be considered on the site, retail which boosts the local convenience and tourist offering is encouraged. • Design must be of a high architectural standard and should reflect and complement the ACA particularly with regard to building materials and heights proposed. • Any development must ensure that adequate linkages are provided between the site and the current active town centre. A framework plan which will be prepared for Blarney Town Centre will include guidance on the redevelopment of this site and adjoining lands. A framework plan which will be prepared for Blarney Town Centre will include guidance on the redevelopment of this site and adjoining lands. It will also contain objectives for public realm improvements within the historic core to ensure that they are designed to enhance and support its historic character. Given the lands current characteristics a long term regeneration objective is considered appropriate. With regard to rezoning lands as ZO-01, there are capacity issues with regard to the water services in Blarney which necessitate upgrades before development can commence on these lands, however Cork City Council envisages that these lands will be available for development during the lifetime of this Plan . Recommendation: No change.
