This site includes the Vienna Woods Hotel and mixed woodland and is located due west of the Glashaboy River along the main public road into Glanmire from the south. This site is elevated, prominent and sensitive, and has landscape and biodiversity value. The current “ZO 18 Landscape Preservation Zone” zoning does not exclude consideration of appropriate expansion of the existing hotel business. Recommendation: No change. The “ZO 16 Public Open Space” zonings are proposed to be retained. Support for the proposed North Eastern regional park is acknowledged. Recommendation: No change.

Submission from Glanmire Area Community Association proposing a number of rezonings: (i) Retain “ZO 16 Public Open Space” zoning (near Glanmire GAA Football Club) and include scenic walkway. (ii) “The Circus Field” and MUGA area should be changed to amenity designation. (iii) Retain “ZO 16 Public Open Space” zoning and in clude amenity designation. Riverstown soccer pitches are already in situ and this would regularise activities there. (iv) Acknowledge walkway / cycle way and Landscape Preservation Zone (along Butlerstown River) as a great addition to pedestrian infrastructure. (v) Welcome proposed large municipal park at proposed NE City Park location.
