Cork City Council considers the policy as set out in the Draft Plan to be reasonable and that it sufficiently addresses the issue of one-off housing in the environs of the Airport. The submission further requests that in relation to inner and outer public safety zones that Cork airport be consulted as a statutory consultee. Cork City Council recognises Cork Airport as a statutory consultee. The submission also seeks new wording in relation Obstacle Limitation Surfaces (OLS) area and a newmap withmore clarity is requested. The new wording sought is as follows: “The planning authority supports the safe and effective operation of Cork Airport, and shall have regard to the Obstacle Limitation Surfaces in determining any development proposals in terms of the safety of aircraft and the safe and efficient navigation thereof. The planning authority shall take account of the advice of the Irish Aviation Authority and Cork Airport with regard to the effects of any development proposal on aircraft safety.” It is considered that the information currently presented on a single map in Figure 10.32 of the Draft Plan be provided on two maps: • one map containing details of: approach surfaces; take off surface; inner horizontal; conical surface; and outer horizontal.
