Chief Executive’s Resp onse & Recommendation
10.336 The mixed industrial / commercial area centred on the Tramore Road and Kinsale Road has regeneration potential with higher density development, linked to the development of high quality public transport. The range of existing land- uses in the area includes light industry, trade showrooms, retail and retail warehouses. Nearby uses include sports facilities and residential neighbourhoods. This is a longer- term strategic growth area with capacity to contribute to compact growth in Cork City out to 2040. A future strategy for the area may be in the form of a Framework Plan. This Framework Plan will cover two strategic landbanks either side of the N40. Study Area 1 encompassing lands from the junction of the N27 and Forge Hill / R851 to the Kinsale Road Roundabout on both sides of the N27. Particular attention will focus on the brownfield site on the southern side of the N27 and the former Sisk site and compound. Study Area 2 will include the greater Kinsale Road area from the Kinsale Road Roundabout north to the junction with the Tramore Road. (vii) Change zoning of lands described under (vi) above from “ZO 5 Mixed Use Development” and “ZO 10 Light Industry & Related Uses” to “ZO 4 Long - term Strategic Regeneration”. (viii) Include additional text to paragraph ZO 4.2 as follows: ZO 4.2 This land use zone includes the Tivoli dockland area, which is
identified in the National Planning Framework as a nationally and regionally significant development area and a key future growth enabler for Cork. This land use zone includes the two study areas identified at the Airport City Gateway.
