This request is supported. Recommendation: (i)
Change the zoning of lands concerned, adjoining the Douglas Garda Station, from “ZO 16 Public Open Space” to “ZO 13 Education” . (ii) Include a new site-specific Development Objective as follows: Lands to facilitate the development of a post primary school. Access and connectivity to be maximised for pedestrians and cyclists with existing and future residential areas. The remaining 50% of the site shall provide for publicly accessible, passive open space. A landscaping audit shall be undertaken to inform the retention of mature trees, hedgerows and species of biodiversity value in any proposed development layout. This submission essentially relates to two portions of land. The first portion of land is to the north of the Folly and is currently zoned ‘Residential, Local Services and Institutional Uses’ in the 2015 Cork City Development Plan with an overlay designation of Areas of High Landscape Value. In the Draft Plan, the subject portion of land is proposed to be zoned “ZO 18 Landscape Preservation Zone (SE 4)”, with an overlay designation of Areas of High Landscape Value. The remaining lands to the southeast, south, west and northwest are currently zoned ‘Landscape Preservation Zone (SE 4)’ .
This submission relates to the rezoning of Lands at Bessborough Estate, Ballinure. The site is proposed to be zoned as “ZO 18 Landscape Preservation Zone”, the submission states that the subject site would be more appropriately zoned in its entirety as an extension of the adjacent “ZO 01 Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods” rather than being subdivided with portions of “Landscape Preservation Zones” as proposed in the Draft Plan.
