STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE SO9: PLACEMAKING & MANAGING DEVELOPMENT KEY GROWTH AREAS & NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT SITES
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES
OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION
a. To limit the development of residential developments in the hinterland settlements of Kerry Pike and Killeens to no more than 10% population growth over the lifetime of the Plan. Any further residential proposals must set out how developments will tie into the village and provide adequate pedestrian and cycling linkages to the village. Development in Upper Glanmire will be in accordance with the Core Strategy. b. Within the village development boundaries housing development must meet the following criteria: (i) The number of houses in any particular individual scheme should have regard to the scale and character of the existing village. (ii) In the absence of a public wastewater treatment plant, only the development of individual dwelling units served by individual treatment systems will be considered subject to normal planning considerations. Any new dwellings with individual wastewater treatment must make provision for the connection to the public system in future and have a sustainable properly maintained private water system, unless a public supply is available. Such proposals will be assessed in line with the appropriate EPA code of practice and will have regard to any cumulative impacts on water quality. (iii) Encourage new development to be designed to ensure that water resources and the natural environment are protected. Protection and enhancement of biodiversity resources within the receiving environment of the villages is also to be encouraged. Development will only be permitted where it is shown that it is compatible with the protection of sites, designated or proposed to be designated, for the protection of natural heritage. (iv) Where possible, all development should be connected to the public water supply, the public waste water treatment system and make adequate provisions for storm water storage and disposal. (v) Development within the core of the villages shall be designed to a high standard and reinforce the character of the existing streetscape. Where appropriate development should be in the form of small terraced development courtyard schemes. (vi) Residential development in other areas shall provide for small groups of houses, detached housing, serviced sites or self-build options. (vii) Retail and local services development should be accommodated within the core of the village and should make adequate provision for off street parking. (viii) The development of lands closest to the village centre is proposed in the first instance, and the development of good pedestrian and amenity links with the village core/main street are considered to be an important part of any proposed scheme. (ix) Extend footpaths and public lighting to serve the wider village and where practical, to provide for the under grounding of utilities. (x) Roadside development within the villages should be sited and designed to ensure that the development potential of backland sites is not compromised and that suitable vehicular and pedestrian access to these lands is retained. (xi) Encourage additional retail and community services within the village to coincide with the needs of any future growth. (xii) Any proposals for development within areas identified as being at risk of flooding will need

to comply with the provisions of the Ministerial Guidelines – ‘The Planning System and Flood Risk Management’.
Cork City Council in collaboration with landowners and relevant stakeholders will progress the neighbourhood development sites through active land management. These sites will benefit the local neighbourhood and support compact growth. Development proposals will address the relevant points highlighted by the text and icons associated with the maps and relevant objectives throughout this plan.
