Summary of Submission and Observation:
• Welcomes the strategic objectives set out in the Draft Plan, including those aimed at achieving transport, climate and environmental , GBI, open space, and biodiversity policies advocated by An Taisce. • Supports objectives to secure compact liveable growth, heritage arts and culture, and environmental infrastructure. • This submission is made specifically in respect of the future planning of the city centre and inner suburbs/docklands, which represents a significant economic, tourist and cultural asset, apart from its primary purpose as the retail and business core of the city. • Strongly supports the aims set out in the Draft Plan to reaffirmation architectural conservation areas and the achievement of authenticity on the development of the city centre and docklands. • Contends that increased building heights within the existing urban area is a logical response to the need to provide for projected economic and population growth. Noting this process has been slow to commence in Cork and the potential in this regard is significant, particularly in the inner suburban and inner dockland areas identified in the study. • An Taisce Corcaigh would support gradual increase in heights within the existing urban area, to create sufficient density for future expansion of the city’s population, in line with national planning objectives , having regard to the existing built environment. • Has concern regarding the stated potential zones for tall buildings as set out in figure 10.4 in the Draft Plan, which has greatly widen the area for potential tall building in these inner harbour and city centre areas is very concerning in the absence of any proper analysis of the impact of this scale of development on the wider cityscape. • Express their concern that tall buildings should not be placed on the city centre island or inner docklands areas in line with the current Development Plan with the view that excessivlely tall buildings will not contribute to the rejuvenation of the city.
