Summary of Submission and Observation:
• The zoning change proposed is for the removal of the proposed Tier 3 zoning for the site located at Ardamadane, Blarney, Cork to be replaced with Tier 1 or 2 Residential zoning • The proposed zoning change is sought on behalf of the landowner David O’Callagh an for the purposes of residential development within the lifetime of the plan • The Stoneview area is bisected by the Cork – Mallow train line with Mr. O’Callaghan’s lands being on the southern Blarney side of same. The lands are further bounded to the south by the N20 Cork – Limerick road. The submission states that given that the lands are limited in area, and restricted by a major road and train line, the possible integration of same into the Stoneview masterplan will be difficult.

Summary of Submission and Observation:
Request for a portion of land to be zoned as Residential neighbourhood zoning area rather than the Hinterland zoning proposed.
• The zoning change proposed is for the removal of the proposed Hinterland zoning for the site located at Ballinveiltig, Curraheen, Bishopstown and the change to New Residential Neighbourhood zoning • Principal Point - Evidence and considerations are presented in the submission which justi es and strongly recommends that the subject lands are des ignated as being zoned as ‘New Residential Neighbourhood’ ratherthan the ‘Hinterland’ area of Cork City Metropolitan Area. The Hinterland designation is very rural in nature and will be very hard to reverse. The advocates of the boundary extension sought an appropriate area for the city to grow but the hinterland designation seems to be doing the opposite. • Secondary Point - It is considered that an over emphasis has been placed on the development of the Docklands area during the lifetime of the plan. Owing to the obvious and well – known infrastructural constraints with this areas Cork City Council is warned that this over reliance on 11% of the overall growth target in the next 6 years taking place in the Docklands is somewhat naive and is reliant on too many variable factors to deliver. will most likely lead to a failure to achieve housing targets. A 2-year review should occur in order to monitor and review the progress of achieving growth – we cannot a ord to wait another 6 years for a new plan if this plan fails to deliver the quantum of growth needed. After 2 years all development proposals should be considered provided, they can be delivered, the lands are available and developable and sustainable.
