Section 4

Glanmire

Specific Zoning Request

Sub. No.

Map No. Chief Executive’s Response & Recommendation

(ii) Change zoning of the lands from “ZO 2 New Residential Neighbourhoods” (GM -R- 01 in the Cobh MD LAP 2017) to “ZO 1 Sustainable Res idential Neighbourhoods”. The site adjoins the hinterland settlement of Upper Glanmire in Draft Plan. The approach set out in the Draft Plan is for managed development of hinterland settlements. There are limited services and facilities in Upper Glanmire. There is no justification to zone these lands at this time. Recommendation: No change. The site includes Protected Structure Glansillagh Mills, the Glashaboy River, former mill pond and mixed riparian woodland. The majority of the site forms the floodplain. It is not recommended to change the zoning from Public Open Space. There is a need for such spaces to create habitats for biodiversity and to create ecological corridors for the movement of species. These areas are particularly valuable as are in close proximity to a river. Recommendation: No change. The site adjoins the hinterland settlement of Upper Glanmire in Draft Plan.
