Southern Milling Ltd.

Summary of Submission and Observation:

• The implied remaining area of the Warehouse Quarter (75,000 sq. m.) makes no sense in the context of the area already permitted planning permission and the stated objectives for the overall South Docks area (Ch.10 City Docks). This contradiction should be amended in the final plan. • It is submitted that the suggested plot ratio to control the development of the Warehouse Quarter (East) makes no sense whatsoever in the context of achieving the stated objectives for this quarter (Ch.10). It is respectively suggested that no plot ratio control whatsoever should be applied to the strategically vital areas of North and South Docks nor to the “Tip of the Island” If it is to remain then, to avoid any doubt or “contrary indications”, the second sentence of Par 10.68 should be amended as per details submitted in appendix 3 of the submission • The interpretation arising from the plot ratio control figures and Indicative Floor Areas would ensure that a desired relocation of a conflicting/non-confirming land use from a strategically important site would be commercially and economically unviable and impossible – all to the detriment of the best interests of the proper planning and sustainable development and redevelopment of the South City (Warehouse Quarter) Dockland, as per previous correspondence detailed in a letter to Cork City Council (19 th August 2020) attached as appendix 4 to the submission
