Residential Neighbourhoods” to “ZO 2 New Residential Neighbourhoods”.
2017 Cobh Municipal District Local Area Plan, with an objective for ‘medium B’ residenti al development of individual serviced sites. Existing woodland on the eastern portion of the site must be protected. The eastern part of the site includes mixed woodland and is safeguarded through the proposed Public Open Space zoning. There is no request to change the Public Open Space zoning. The “ZO 3 Tier 3 Residential Neighbourhoods” zoning covers an area of approximately 14.5 Ha. In terms of bringing forward the site for residential development during the Plan period, the submission highlights that the developer is currently developing adjoining land due south and this site could be delivered over the short term subject to land zoning (and planning permission). The lands referred to due south are also currently zoned ‘Residential’ in the 2017 Cobh Municipal District Local Area Plan with an objective for ‘medium B’ residential development This is considered to be reasonable taking into account the existing residential zoning on these lands and the opportunity to create a coherent neighbourhood with the lands being developed to the south. It is also considered reasonable to zone the lands due south to Tier 1 “ZO 1 Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods” to reflect
their current status. Recommendation: (i)
Change zoning of the lands from “ZO 3 Tier 3 Residential Neighbourhoods” (GM-R-05 in the Cobh MD LAP 2017) to “ZO 2 New Residential Neighbourhoods”.
