Specific Zoning Request
Sub. No.
Map No. Chief Executive’s Response & Recommendation
serviced and cannot be considered Tier 1 “ZO 1 Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods” zoning at this time. It is considered that the surface car park is appropriately zoned as “ZO 07 Urban Town Centre” . Recommendation: No change. The subject site is part of a larger overall regeneration site proposed in the Draft plan and was previously identified in successive Cork County Council Planning documents and has been identified for a sensitive approach where any future development will need to protect and enhance the existing character of the area and views of the Castle. Recommendation: No change. Land and sites already zoned for residential purposes provide a baseline or starting point to meet projected population and housing targets. The lands referenced in this submission have been identified in this plan as part of the development of the Core Strategy as capable of facilitating housing during the lifetime of this Plan. The desirable density and heights for Blarney are set out in Chapter 11 of the Draft Plan, with higher densities proposed in the North Eastern quadrant of the town in areas such as Stoneview and Ringwood, thus protecting the historic core of the town.
Proposed rezoning of lands in west Blarney from “ZO 4 Long- term Strategic Regeneration” to “ZO 07 Urban Town Centre” and opposes proposed extension of Architectural Conservation Area (ACA) designation.
