STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES
OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION
a. Any proposals for the redevelopment of Farranferris and the North Monastery buildings and their associated lands must be set within the context of an agreed masterplan for the site. This masterplan should be in accordance with the objectives and guidance outlined in this Plan for the preservation of historically significant buildings. b. The main Farranferris Seminary building should be managed as a single entity, preferably as an education and training centre. Any future user(s) of the building must demonstrate how the entire building will operate and be organized as such. The sub-division of the building will not generally be acceptable. All external modifications to the building and internal changes should be carried out to the highest observation best practice. c. Any development proposal involving the main building shall be accompanied by a detailed conservation strategy for the building, attendant grounds and other on-site features of historical value. The landscaped gardens and pathways shall be retained in situ and a detailed landscaping plan and tree survey shall be undertaken to determine the location and range of species on site. A landscaping management plan shall also be undertaken. d. Mobility management plans shall accompany all non-residential development proposals and shall incorporate proposals to encourage non-car modes of transport, including public transport. e. Any development proposal must be accompanied by a detailed Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA). This assessment will involve traffic modelling which should be undertaken in consultation with Cork City Council. This TIA is central to determining the scale, density and layout of development on site and the appropriate quantum of on-site car parking.
