Damien O’Leary
Summary of Submission and Observation:
• Amendment to Zoning of South City Environs at Mount Prospect, Maryborough Hill, Douglas
The submission sets out the following:
•
• ▪ Lands occupy an important strategic position within Metropolitan Cork, forming part of the city’s suburbs at Maryborough Hill, Douglas.
• ▪ The Draft Plan includes Tier 1 zoning, which comprise zoned lands that are sufficiently serviced to accommodation new development.
• ▪ The Draft Plan includes a Tier 3 zoning, which are strategic lands necessary for long-term planning of infrastructure, given the ambition growth target set out in the NPF, but also provide for substitution of Tier 1 or Tier 2 lands that do not come forward for development within this Plan period, where appropriate. • ▪ Lands are currently zoned as the Hinterland under the Draft Plan. However, it is considered that these lands are perfectly suited to be zoned for a mix of Tier 1 “ZO 2 New Residential Neighbourhoods” and Tier 3 “ZO -03: Residential Neighbourhood”.
• ▪ Submission requests that the northern portion of the lands be zoned as Tier 1 “ZO -03: Residential Neighbourhood” and the southern portion of the lands be zoned as Tier 3 “ZO -03: R esidential Neighbourhood”.

John Roche
Summary of Submission and Observation:
• Request for the re-zoning from City Hinterland to 'Sustainable Residential Neighbourhood' to facilitate the development of a single house on family lands • John Roche, a local person and land owner [who lives directly to the north of the lands which are the subject of this submission] is seeking a moderate expansion of the existing built up area[‘Sustainable Residential Neighbourhood’] designation to allow for a single dwelling to be constructed on his lands for his son David who lives with his own family in his family home and is in urgent need of housing. • The submission presents a multi-facetted and robust case in favour of the designation of the subject lands as within the compact growth area. A planning case is presented in favour of the rezoning of the lands and it is considered that the subject lands are the optimum choice for residential for a number of reasons.
