[ Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028, Section 15(2) Two-Year Progress Report ]
Reporting Time Period This report covers the time period 8th August 2022, the date the Plan came into effect, until the end of the first quarter of this year, 31st March 2024. The reason for this cutoff date was to allow for information gathering while facilitating sufficient time to analyse the data and prepare this report. Most of the data and metrics presented in this report refer to this timeframe, and references in this report to a current point in time, e.g. ‘to date’, ‘present date’ or ‘currently’ refer to 31st March 2024, unless specifically stated otherwise. Core Strategy Monitoring This report specifically addresses the above-mentioned monitoring timeframe and, for city-wide objectives, the entire administrative area of Cork City Council. The exception to this the “Core Strategy – Planning & Delivery Review” chapter, which focuses mainly on a review of the Core Strategy. This chapter differs in two fundamental ways to the majority of this report: (1) it is not limited to the above-mentioned monitoring timeframe, and considers a longer timeframe and considers trends, and (2) it concentrates on sites identified in the Core Strategy and reflected in “Figure 2.21 Cork City Growth Strategy” of the City Development Plan. Core Strategy monitoring is required under the Development Plan Guidelines for Planning Authorities, 2022 and is essential in identifying development patterns and trends. For these reasons, data provided in the “Core Strategy – Planning & Delivery Review” chapter could at first glance appear to differ from data provided in the other chapters of the report, but the reasons for this are set out above – they considering a different timeframe and assess a different physical extent.
