  • Cork Planning Authorities Joint Retail Strategy
    Cork City Council Cork County Council Metropolitan Cork Joint Retail Strategy December 2013 Midleton Town Council Cobh Town Council Draft Metropolitan Cork Joint Retail Strategy 1.0 Introduction 1.1 The Retail Planning Guidelines (RPG's) for Planning Authorities (2012), issued by the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government, require Local Authorities to prepare retail strategies and policies for their areas and to incorporate these where appropriate into their development plan. The guidelines note that certain development plans and local area plans must be informed by joint or multi authority retail strategies which should assess retail activity and demand needs that transcend planning authority boundaries. The guidelines specifically identify that Cork City and County Councils should prepare a joint retail strategy. 1.2 John Spain Associates were commissioned in August 2012 by Cork City Council and Cork County Council to prepare a joint retail study for Metropolitan Cork. The strategy set out within this document is based upon the findings of the retail study which will replace the existing 2008 Cork Strategic Retail Study. The Metropolitan Cork Joint Retail Study is available online at www.corkcity.ie and www.corkcoco.ie It is envisaged that this joint retail strategy for the planning authorities in the City and County will be incorporated into the review of their respective development plans commencing in 2013. The strategy will form the agreed basis on which each authority will be able to formulate appropriate development plan objectives or policies for retail development in its areas and will be used in the determination of applications for planning permission.
