[ Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028, Section 15(2) Two-Year Progress Report ]
What is Monitored? A strategic approach to monitoring has been taken with a focus on the anticipated or proposed key outcomes of the Plan. While it is not possible to monitor every aspect of a Development Plan, a range of statistics and data must be monitored to ascertain the effectiveness of this Plan and ensure that it is aligned with the National Planning Framework (NPF), Southern Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy (RSES) and Cork Metropolitan Area Strategic Plan (MASP). To establish an effective monitoring regime Cork City Council has committed to monitoring a range of actions and objectives set out in this Plan to better understand the extent to which objectives of this Plan are being realised. These are set out in Chapter 13 ‘Implementation Monitoring Framework’ of the Plan and form the basis of this report. 110 of the 364 City Development Plan objectives are identified in the Plan to be monitored for the purposes of this section 15(2) report. See Appendix 2 for detailed description of each objective. The overarching issues which are monitored are the delivery of homes, jobs, climate change, education, health and environment. The delivery of sites identified in the Core Strategy for housing are also closely monitored, in order to ensure that the Plan delivers compact growth in Cork City. The implementation of these objectives requires collaboration and engagement with a range of stakeholders, sectoral and investment interests, government departments and agencies. In many cases implementation is not the sole responsibility of Cork City Council, but a partnership approach is required to implement the objectives of the Plan. Cork City Council will continue to fulfil its commitment to monitoring the Plan’s key objectives through active land management measures, in accordance with Objectives 2.40 to 2.42 of the Plan. This involves working with developers, utility and service providers, landowners, state agencies, national government and community stakeholders to deliver specific development objectives in areas throughout the city. Implementing active land management measures will also include new mechanisms and tools to monitor and inform implementation and review the Plan on a more consistent basis. This approach is focused on providing better and more up to date information to help unlock barriers, enable innovative problem solving and facilitate timely decision making around the implementation of the Plan.
