Review of the Electoral Area Local Area Plans

Cork County Council has commenced a review of the 10 Electoral Area Local Area Plans originally adopted in 2005 that together cover the entire County.

It is the Council's intention to prepare a new draft Local Area Plan for each electoral area and to make these available to the public for comment during the Autumn of 2010 so that the new local area plans can be completed before September 2011. It is envisaged that the new plans will replace the Special Local Area Plans prepared in 2005 for Carrigtwohill, Midleton and Blarney – Kilbarry. The Special Local Area Plan for Mallow adopted in 2007 will not be affected.

At this initial stage, to help explain the planning issues that the electoral areas will face, a series of Outline Strategy documents are being prepared and the County Council intends to make these available for public consultation between Monday, 4 January 2010 and 4.00 pm on Monday, 1 March 2010. Copies of the Outline Strategy will be available to inspect and/or purchase from the Planning Policy Unit from 4 January 2010. Copies will also be available for inspection at Council Offices, libraries and at www.corkcoco.ie from the first day of the consultation period.

Any member of the public wishing to make a written submission can do so during that period either in paper format or by e-mail. Written submissions may be addressed to The Senior Planner, Planning Policy Unit, Floor 13, County Hall, Cork. E-mail submissions may be sent to lapsubmissions@corkcoco.ie and must include the full name and postal address of the person/organisation making the submission.
