Chapter 11 I Placemaking and Managing Development
11.120 Cork City Council will apply the provisions of the Taking in Charge Policy for Residential Developments (2018) and the applicant shall have regard to the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Governments document ‘Taking in Charge of Residential Developments Circular Letter PD 1/08’, and ‘Circular Letter PL 5/2014’. Within major development areas Cork City Council will seek that all streets and public spaces possess public rights of way / public access that are subject to Cork City Bye-Laws only and not private landowner restrictions, whether or not they are taken in charge. 11.121 In residential developments which are not proposed to be taken in charge by Cork City Council, evidence will be required that private Management Companies are to be set up by time of completion of the development, and of which membership shall be compulsory for all purchasers of property. 11.122 If a development (or part thereof) is to be taken in charge by Cork City Council the applicant shall agree which areas are to be taken in charge and this shall be clearly indicated on a site layout plan. All areas not to be taken in charge by Cork City Council shall also be clearly indicated and shall be maintained by, and the responsibility of, a properly constituted Private Management Company. These details shall be submitted with the planning application. 11.123 All roads, footpaths, sewers, drains, lighting columns, mini-pillars, watermains, services and open spaces within the privately managed areas, irrespective of the management and maintenance regime to be put in place for these areas, shall be satisfactorily completed to the standard for development works as set out in the Council’s Taking in Charge Policy document.
2. Nameplates of an approved type to be provided on all estate roads; 3. Nameplates shall be provided in bilingual format in the English and Irish languages; 4. All houses to be provided with numbers legible from the adjoining roads. Phased Development 11.115 All large development proposals should be accompanied by a phasing schedule, which may be subject to planning condition to ensure compliance. 11.116 Developments over 100 residential units shall demonstrate that adequate provisions for specified physical and social infrastructural requirements, including roads, sewers, water mains, community, recreational and sporting facilities (indoor and outdoor), public transport, first and second level schools and shops are available at completion to support the development. 11.117 When considering proposals for development within the curtilage of Protected Structures a proposed phasing agreement should be provided that will normally provide for the renovation and development of the built heritage asset prior to the completion of other development phases. 11.118 Phasing strategies will be critical to understanding both the duration and timing of delivery of development and all enabling infrastructure. It will also be relevant to construction logistics management plans.
