Summary of Submission and Observation:
• In August 2020 DFOD Consultants made a submission requesting that an area of land on map 12 be zoned for low / medium density housing, but in the draft plan its been zoned as ZO 10 Light industry and related uses. • With the ever growing need for housing in this area and Strategic Housing Developments taking longer than expected, • respectfully ask that you look at this decision again. If zoned for housing (ZO 02 or similar) we believe that it would be possible to deliver housing more quickly, without the major infrastructure required for larger developments. • Zoning request from ZO-10 to ZO-02

Summary of Submission and Observation:
Submission relates to the settlement of Blarney. The submission raises the following issues: • Blarney is a beautiful, tranquil village steeped in history and heritage from the Blarney Castle to the world renowned Blarney Woollen Mills . Both are very important to local business. • To build a Supermarket with affordable prices and more houses in this small community is not the answer. Blarney is a village and should remain so. • The Blarney Woollen Mill lands should be protected as part of the ACA . There are many different amenities for both locals and tourists alike that this land could be used for. A park like the Gunpowder mills in Ballincollig that caters for both young and old with sufficient parking to allow this . Progress does not have to mean destruction and that's what building supermarkets and housing will mean for Blarney . Destroying Blarney village as we know it . • Adding more congestion to an already busy village . The answer to the housing crisis and cheap supermarkets should never be at the detriment to a historical village like Blarney .
