Cork City Submission No.:

Cork Business Association
Summary of Submission and Observation:
• The Cork City Development Plan should be adjusted to take account of the National Development Plan and the commitments to spending and associated timelines therein. • The delivery of a growth strategy which aligns with high quality public transport provision is the most important objective within the plan and needs to be expanded upon. The CBA cautions against not having a contingency plan in place for the failure of the Docklands to be developed then additional lands should be considered. • The CBA recommends that where the Gross Development Value of a project exceeds 5million euro the benefit to the city should be one of the contributing factors to the decision-making process and flexibility be applied in those cases • The significant planning gain. For larger developments in particular until high quality public transport links are put in place a degree of flexibility in relation to car parking/densities should be employed. • Purpose Built Student Accommodation should be strictly reserved for use by students and not short term/tourist • accommodation as this is having a negative impact on the Hotel Sector. • Strict Enforcement of Air B&Bs should also be undertaken to free up over 300 residential units across the city. • A schedule of street cleaning should be published.
