CE Report on the Draft Plan Consultation Volume 1

Section 4

Glanmire

Specific Zoning Request

Sub. No.

Map No. Chief Executive’s Response & Recommendation

Reinstate residential zoning for lands at Upper Glanmire from proposed “ZO 21 City Hinterland” zoning and include lands in settlement boundary.

The site adjoins the hinterland settlement of Upper Glanmire in Draft Plan. There are limited services and facilities in Upper Glanmire. The approach set out in the Draft Plan is for managed development of hinterland settlements. However, the site is within the settlement boundary of the current 2017 Cobh Municipal District Local Area Plan and the western half of this site is subject to a current planning application. This site is close to the centre of the settlement and is largely brownfield. There is merit to reinstating this site into the zoned boundary of Upper Glanmire. Recommendation: Change zoning of site from “ZO 21 City Hinterland” to “ZO 1 Sustainable Residen tial Neighbourhoods”.

Objects to rezoning of lands adjoining Crestfield Downs in Hazelwood Glanmire. The infrastructure in the area can’t handle the existing housing in the locality, and the stone wall at the end of Crestfield downs has nesting birds and the ditch adjoining has hedgehogs. Proposed rezoning of lands at Lotamore Farm, Glanmire from “ZO 16 Public Open Space” and “ZO 21 City Hinterland” to Residential.

See submissions 47, 46. Recommendation: No change.

This is a large site that covers an area of approximately 70 Ha and includes land zoned “ZO 16 Public Open Space” and “ZO 21 City Hinterland”. These lands form part of the proposed future North East regional park (to serve Mayfield, Ballyvolane and Glanmire, and wider areas) which is a key regional objective as well as a long term City Development Plan objective for the North East of Cork City. This site is not considered to be suitable for residential development at this time. Recommendation: No change.
