It is acknowledged that the new Development Plan will replace the current City Development Plan, and also the Cork County Development Plan 2014 and the Municipal District Local Area Plans in so far as they are relevant to the former Cork County Council areas within the new Cork City boundary. The review of the existing plan and preparation of a new Development Plan will be strategic in nature for the purposes of developing objectives and policies to deliver an overall strategy for the proper planning and sustainable development of the city and the core strategy. It is within this context that this Pre-Draft Submission is made, focussing on Cork City’s Strategic Employment Locations, Mixed Use Employment and Regional Assets, and confirming the utilisation of land designated for the Cork Science and Innovation Park and the urgent required investment in key road, services and utility infrastructure to realise the full development potential as a Regional Asset. Notwithstanding these constraints, implementing the Cork Science and Innovation Park development in Curraheen will enhance Corks international reputation for innovation, research and education, while providing jobs in Ireland’s emerging ‘ Smart Economy’ . It is noted that the O’Shea Family has been partaking actively in all consultation events associated with the proposed Cork Science and Innovation Park since 2008. These include submissions to the preparation of Electoral Local Area Plans, Development Plans, the Cork Science and Innovation Park Framework Masterplan 2011 and the Cork Science and Innovation Park Access Road Route Selection . It is our Client’s objective, as one of the principle landowners that are affected, to participate fully in the plan making process with this submission focussing specifically on the appropriate management B.E.F. Planning International Limited trading as The Planning Partnership | Company No. 501130 Registered in Ireland @ 2 Auburn Terrace, Sunday’s Well Road, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath Directors: Mark Brindley (UK), Wessel Vosloo, Fintan Morrin THE PLANNING PARTNERSHIP FOR TIMOTHY O’S HEA of the transition from agriculture to high grade science, innovation and technological employment generation as envisaged. The O’Shea Family supports the planned Cork Science and Innovation Park which is considered a critical element in Cork’s future employment strategy in meeting the specific needs of the third level research sector and of businesses requiring close proximity to third level institutes. The provision of particularly the permitted Local Road Access (Compulsory Acquisition Procedure complete) and the associated enhanced public transport infrastructure is considered key to the success of the development of the Cork Science and Innovation Park. 1.2 Executive Summary: Our Request Once adopted, the Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028 will constitute the primary mechanism used for the management of development throughout the functional area of Cork City Council Metropolitan Area. The adopted Development Plan is to provide an appropriate vision for such Metropolitan Areas, while recognising the essential role the Science and Innovation Park in Curraheen will play within the overall development of the City. Furthermore, the fulfilment of such a vision is dependent upon the inclusion of robust yet achievable policies and objectives which can realistically deliver this vision for the Cork Science and Innovation Park at Curraheen and the attractiveness of Cork as a science and innovation hub over the life of the plan. This pre-Draft Submission with regards to the Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028 requests the inclusion of the following: It is The Planning Partnership’s experience in contribution to the preparation of the Grangegorman Strategic Plan and Planning Scheme associated with Dublin Technological University and the Health Services Executive, that the establishment and implementation delivery driver for the Cork Science and Innovation Park at Curraheen, being a science and innovation hub in an appropriate location, can successfully be delivered through the means of Part IX of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) - as a Strategic Development Zone: - The introduction of an SDZ should be viewed as bringing Cork Strategic Delivery Planning in line with other jurisdictions where such zones are quite common. - A Draft Planning Scheme must be prepared by the Development Authority for the Designated Site within 2 years of the order being made and as such will act as an enhanced driver for Corks expanding ‘Smart Economy’. - The Draft Planning Scheme must consist of a written statement and a plan indicating: a) Type of development to be permitted; b) Extent of development; c) Proposals relating to design (maximum height, the external finish, general appearance and design); d) Proposals relating to transport (public transport, road layout, parking and traffic management); e) Proposals relating to services (waste and sewerage; water; electricity and telecommunications; oil and gas); f) Proposals to minimise impact on the environment; and g) Proposals for other amenities (where scheme is for residential development). - A Strategic Environmental Assessment must be carried out for the Draft Planning Scheme. PRE -DRAFT SUBMISSION TO THE 2 CORK CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2022-2028 THE PLANNING PARTNERSHIP FOR TIMOTHY O’S HEA Provision of high skilled employment to compliment existing science and innovation in Cork and the South-West, further developing this Tertiary Education Corridor at Curraheen: - Providing sustainable and highly skilled employment in a globally buoyant and expanding sector. - Incorporating existing educational institutions and ‘smart economy’ tech facilities in Cork. - Facilitating Light Rail serving Cork Science and Innovation Park and expansion of Tertiary Education Corridor. The proposed development is in a location which has already seen significant financial investment in land acquisitions and infrastructure studies, with an emphasis to maximise the land use potential of the Science and Innovation Park in Curraheen, positively reflecting the necessity for Cork to provide development land which facilitates the evolution of the increasingly important ‘Smart Economy ’. 2.0 CORK CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2022-2028 ISSUES PAPER ANALYSIS TO FACILITATE APPROPRIATE AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SCIENCE AND INNOVATION PARK AT CURRAHEEN 2.1 Cork Science and Innovation Park Cork City is considered a European base of global leaders, being the home of clusters in life sciences, ICT, financial and international services, creating a strong economy supported by enterprise, innovation and skills. 2.2 Science and Innovation in Cork: - Within a strategic context, the proposed Cork Science and Innovation Park is located within a Strategic Employment Location , with Mixed Use Employment and considered a Regional Asset . - Complimentary land uses adjacent to the Cork Science and Innovation Park include Cork University Business School, Dental School and Health Innovation Hub, Munster Technological University (CIT). - The research, development and innovation ecosystem of the city is being enhanced by businesses, academia, cluster organisations, IDA Ireland, Enterprise Ireland and the Local Enterprise Office. - Cork’s labour force has proven to be agile in the past, and has moved from heavy manufacturing to services, and high value manufacturing sectors.

  • Case Study Areas
    Corepoint Expert Couplets & case studies: Descriptions of physical, ecological and socio-economic context, and of area-specific Corepoint activities Compiled as part of the Corepoint Project February 2008 Editors: Margaret Carlisle, David R. Green University of Aberdeen Executive Summary ___________________________________________________________________ This report comprises descriptions of twelve areas which were the loci of activities jointly undertaken between a Corepoint partner and a local authority. There is a good spatial distribution of these study sites around the North-West Europe region. The study areas are also diverse in terms of other geographical criteria, specifically physical, socio-economic and ecological factors. These factors are the physical nature of shoreline, land and subsea substrate, the physical topography/bathymetry, the nature of hydrological dynamism, erosion vs accretion, peripherality vs. core areas, employment, terrestrial & littoral ecology and finally marine ecology. The first, short, section of the report presents an overview of these factors and an overview of the Corepoint activities undertaken. Some of these activities (e.g. Belgian coast) were full Expert Couplets involving many joint activities between Corepoint and the relevant Local Authority, others (e.g. Fal Estuary) were one-off case studies. The second, considerably longer, section of the report gives a detailed description of each study area. Each study area location is shown on maps and illustrated with images, and its physical, ecological and socio-economic characteristics are described. Finally, the history of coastal management in the study area, its coastal issues and the Corepoint activities undertaken are detailed. Preferred reference : Carlisle, M. & Green, D.R., (Eds.) 2008.
