The Submissions further elaborate that landowners and residents can only speculate as to this proposed zoning of their properties and the implications this may have for their value and protection. Cork Airport welcomes and supports the general provisions of the Draft Cork City Development Plan insofar as it relates to operations and development of the airport. A number of zoning revisions are proposed: (i) Additional lands zo ned “ZO 22 Cork Airport Infrastructure” from “ZO 21 City Hinterland” to the northwest of the airport and revisions to “ZO 24” Runway Extension boundary.

Alternatively, rezone to “ZO 10 Light Industry and Related Uses” with restrictions. The submission also refers to: (iv) Safety and safeguarding issues (v) Proposed Framework Plan (vi) Parking Policy
Recommendation: Omit references to “ ZO 23 ” and “ ZO 24 ” on the Development Plan maps.
