This site is currently zoned “ZO 18 Landscape Preservation Zone (NE 13)”, and this is proposed to continue in the Draft Plan. It is not proposed to have a neighbourhood park on site, but there are pockets of Public Open Space within the wider neighbourhood. Long term, there is a regional park proposed in the North East area of Cork City between Mayfield-Ballyvolane and Glanmire. Recommendation: No change. The site contains mixed woodland, floodplain of the River Bride and was zoned in the 2017 Cobh Municipal District Local Area Plan for Town Centre uses. An assessment of these lands during the preparation of the Draft Plan concluded that the lands are more appropriately zoned “ZO 16 Public Open Space” for reasons stated above. Recommendation: No change. These lands are located between Rosemount cul-de-sac and the River Bride Valley. The southern half of the site is zoned “ZO 16 Public Open Space” and the northern half “ZO 1 Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods”. The site falls within the River Bride Valley, a green and blue infrastructure asset, and is used for horses grazing. There is a high voltage power line and tower within the northern half of the site along the western boundary. Such electricity infrastructure will have a maintenance wayleave on both sides of the corridor. Land adjoining southern boundary of site forms the River Bride floodplain. There is no justification to rezone these lands for residential use.
1.47 ha of lands at Ballyvolane should not be rezoned from District Centre / Retail to “ZO 16 Public Open Space” and requests that 0.49 Ha of this land is included within the “ZO 1 Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods” zoning. The submission also notes that there is an over provision of public open space zoned for the northside of the city.
