9 Strategic Land Reserve The CDP 2014 indicated that the Strategic Land Reserve in the County Metropolitan Cork Strategic Planning Area is only 14% (153ha), whereas the guidelines recommend up to 50%. This level of reserve (or headroom ) is considered too low for the likely needs of the na@on s second city and it s Metropolitan Region. Purpose of maintaining a Strategic Land Reserve is to provide choice in the housing market. Also provides a con@ngency in the event that, some of the larger sites in Metropolitan Cork are either not delivered or delayed. CDP suggested that need to iden@fy addi@onal residen@al land to add to the current strategic land reserve in the County Metropolitan Cork Strategic Planning Area and this may include proposals within this Municipal District. These addi@onal lands have yet to be iden@fied, and may include addi@onal lands within the Cobh Municipal District. Such lands which adjoin the main towns (or planned extensions to them), have access to Irish Water services (with capacity for future development) and can provide access to established public transport corridors will be considered for inclusion in the new DraR Local Area Plan to be issued in

In the absence of public drinking water, individual dwellings may be permieed on the basis of private wells subject to normal planning and public health criteria. Public Waste Water Treatment See a;ached sheet for details of se;lements within this Municipal District In these smaller seelements with no public services, it is proposed to limit development to a small number of individual houses with their own treatment plants. 12

13 Review of Local Area Plans Broad Approach Review of Local Area Plans / Town Development Plans. Iden@fying areas where changes are needed. The majority of zonings / policies will remain unchanged. Will look in more detail at Town Centres and how they can be strengthened / improved. Need to align zoning approach in Town Plans with current Local Area Plans i.e. use of exis@ng built up area designa@on rather than exis@ng land use zonings. Proposals in villages and village nuclei to be largely the same, where possible. Retaining development boundaries. Scale of development envisaged will remain at 2011 levels in most cases. At this stage of the process, with the excep@on of new flooding informa@on available for Carrigtwohill, informa@on on flood risk for the rest of the MD is the same as in the current LAPs. 13
