This zone is visually important as it: • forms part of an attractive gateway entrance to the city, • is home to significant cultural heritage assets in the form of protected structures (including Lota House and Lotabeg House) and sched- uled monuments, • provides setting to Tivoli Docks, • lies adjacent to the Glashaboy River (Cork Harbour Special Protection Area), • provides local biodiversity benefit and • forms part of the wider landscape setting from the southern side of the River Lee. There is potential to add to and extend mixed native woodland within and adjoining this zone for both visual landscape and biodiversity benefits. For these reasons, there is a pre- sumption against development within this zone.
