This submission effectively concerns two portions of land:
• A small triangle of land along Ballyhooly Road zoned “ZO 1 Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods” • A rectangular portion of land to the south of zoned “ ZO 16 Public Open Space” The submission seeks to zone both portions “ZO 8 District Centres”. There is no objection to the proposed change of zoning of the small triangular area. However, the rectangular area to the south zoned “ZO 16 Public Open Space” was changed in the Draft Plan from the existing Town Centre zoning in the 2017 Cobh Municipal District Local Area Plan following a reassessment during the preparation of the Draft Plan. this site was rezoned to safeguard the Glen River Valley and protect the biodiversity value of the site and wider area. Recommendation: (i) (Triangular portion) Change zoning of triangular portion of land along Ballyhooly Road from “ ZO 1 Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods” to “ZO 8 District Centres”. (ii) (Rectangular portion) No change. This site has a rural location north of the River Bride. Rezoning these lands for residential development would further erode the hinterland area that surrounds the built up part of the City, contrary to the principle of compact growth. Recommendation:
Rezone land from ‘agricultural’ (“ZO 21 City Hinterland”) to residential at Kilcully.
