South Glanmire (Dunkettle)
A, B, C, D, E,
This zone to the southern end of Glanmire includes: • A visually important hillside to the southern end of Glanmire, • The riparian woodland adjoining the Cork Harbour Special Protection Area, • Forms part of the setting for Dunkettle House, • Provides local biodiversity benefit, • Forms part of an attractive gateway entrance to the city and • Forms part of the wider landscape setting from the southern side of the River Lee / Blackrock area. Given the extensive development proposed to adjoining lands, the mixed native riparian woodland should be extended to compliment the biodiversity and visual benefits of this zone. For these reasons, there is a presumption against development within this zone. This zone to the southeast of Glanmire is essentially agricultural land which is in the form of rolling countryside and adjoins the M8 and Waterworks. This zone provides both localised and wider visual landscape amenity benefits including from the southern side of the River Lee / Blackrock area. There is potential for mixed native woodland to the southern and eastern parts of this zone. For these reasons, there is a presumption against development within this zone.
