Local Area Plans

The Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028 provides the strategic planning policy context for Cork City.

Non-statutory plans include Masterplans, Framework Plans and Area Action Plans (AAP). Such plans are not governed by a legislative process. These plans can vary in scope but typically provide a detailed framework for the area, identifying land uses, urban design principles, actions, physical and social infrastructure.

As per objective 10.79 of the Cork City Development Plan 20228-2028, Cork City Council will produce a Framework Plan for the development of the Blackpool / Kilbarry area. The coordinated provision of services, infrastructure, mix of land uses, transport and mobility, quality urban design and development will form part of the overall framework.

The plan should address the need for housing in combination with the provisions of critical infrastructure, anchored around the plans for a new train Station in Kilbarry and the proposed Multimodal Northern Distributor Road. It is identified as a key location to help deliver the Housing for All plans.

Cork City Council has commenced the preliminary work on the Framework Plan. Studies and appraisals have been done to evaluate the current conditions, constraints and opportunities within the Study area.
