Summary of Submission and Observation:
• In respect of lands comprising the c. 3.97 ha at Ardarrig, Carrigaline Road, Douglas, Co. Cork, the submission states that the proposed open space zoning objective for these lands (Objective 16) is not compatible with the delivery of a sustainable and appropriately designed contemporary urban educational campus.
• The submission states that the restrictions on permitted uses inherent in the zoning objective renders this an inappropriate zoning for the successful delivery of a new school, which is vital at this location.
• The provision of new educational facilities would be permitted in principle under the proposed addition a Specific Local Objective (SLO) at this location and would facilitate the delivery of an urgently needed education facility at an appropriate scale and quantum needed to serve the catchment. It would also meet the policy requirements underpinning the open space objective in terms of setting lands aside for future provision of an open space facility, that would be a significant planning gain for the use of the wider community.
• The submission therefore requests the following: The addition of a Specific Local Objective to the zoning of this site to include educational, recreational and community uses.
