The National Planning Framework (NPF) sets out a two-tier approach to land zoning. National Policy Objective 72a requires planning authorities to apply a standardised tiered approach to differentiate between (i) zoned land that is serviced (Tier 1) and (ii) zoned land that is serviceable within the life of the Plan (Tier 2). The Draft Plan also proposed a Tier 3. The Core Strategy provides details of the zoning tiers. The subject lands are constrained by lack of infrastructure including water services and transport linkages, and cannot be considered for Tier 2 “ZO 2 New Residential Neighbourhoods” zoning at this time. Recommendation: No change (i) Railway Station and Commuter Rail The location for the proposed railway station at Stoneview has not yet been decided. Cork City Council are working in tandem with Irish Rail and the NTA to deliver a railway station in Stoneview. The advantages of significant residential development adjacent to mass transit is acknowledged. (ii) N/M20 The route selection for the N/M20 is ongoing and the impacts of any proposed route on the Stoneview / Blarney Area will be assessed in collaboration with TII and Limerick City and County Council who are the lead authorities on the delivery of this project. The necessity for a new or upgraded interchange for Blarney will be decided as part of the final route selection process but Cork City Council consider it premature to assume
