Chief Executive’s Report on Draft Plan Consultation
Volume 2 – Summary of Submissions Received
• This Local Area Plan for the River Lee can provide the framework to develop and manage this great city open space as an entity by taking account of: - Transport and Mobility including bridges, slipways, jettys and pontoons for water based transport and recreation; Character Area Guidance for wildlife friendly lighting and street furniture - River use and management to meet increased demand and balance potentially conflicting interests - Land uses and flooding, flood protection works - Built Heritage including the existing and proposed riverside Architectural Conservation Areas, maritime heritage, industrial and underwater archaeology - The importance of preserving and protecting existing assets, historic quaysides, steps, slips and other access points, weirs and fish passes, riverbank wildlife corridors - Environmental infrastructure - The need to ensure that new developments don’t hinder the possibility of future water based activities - Connections with the City Centre, City Docks and Tivoli Strategic Consolidation and Regeneration Areas • The need for a full water access assessment to be included as part of the finalisation of the Draft City Docks and Tivoli ABTAs (chapter 10). • The north side of the river is poorly served for safe access to the river, and opportunities to recommission the Castleview Terrace slipway and/or the graving dock on the Lower Glanmire Road. Provision for water access should be included at the latter. • The marina/water inlet indicated in the 3D concept plan for Tivoli at Figure 10.31 should include slipway access to the water. • Slipways can be incorporated into bridge design and should be considered adjacent to one or more of the three bridges proposed in the Docklands. An example of this is the bridge across the Ria de Cubas on the C141 into Santander (Spain) that incorporates slipways at either side, at Sociedad Deportiva de Remo Pedrena and the Embarcadero del Rey.
