Specific Zoning Request
Sub. No.
Map No. Chief Executive’s Response & Recommendation
In terms of additional community needs, there is an adjoining area of land zone d for “ZO 14 Institutions and Community” in which such uses including a community centre could be located. A critical element to this rezoning / zoning realignment proposal is the route of the Northern Distributor Road (NDR). Cork City Council is working with the NTA to finalise the route of this road. Cork City Council is also liaising with the Department of Education on the proposals to relocate the school site, and the Department are currently assessing the feasibility of these proposals. Cork City Council will also liaise with the HSE in relation to the need and location for a primary car centre. Recommendation: While there are merits to these proposals, it is recommended that specific realigned zonings will be presented at Material Amendment stage (Stage 10 of the 13-stage plan-making process) once the NDR route has been established and the Department of Education has assessed the viability of the proposals to relocate the school. Any necessary amendments to Objective 10.73 Ballyvolane Framework Plan will also be presented at this stage. This is agreed and supported. However, the northern-most field proposed to be rezoned is recommended to be omitted as it falls within the area for consideration for the route of the Northern Ring Road. It is also proposed to designate an area of deciduous woodland ZO 18 Landscape Preservation Zone. It is also proposed to include an Objective for a Site Framework Plan for the campus, to ensure that its future development is plan-led.
Submission from the HSE seeking the proposed rezoning of the St Stephen’s Hospital campus from “ZO 21 City Hinterland” to “ZO 14 Institutions and Community”, in recognition of its long established use and the provide support for its future expansion.
