Changes agreed to city’s Docklands strategy

SEVERAL changes were agreed to Cork’s multi-billion euro Docklands strategy last night after an agreement was reached between the city and the Port of Cork.

The two bodies have been in dispute over certain aspects of the Docklands plans because of the Port’s continued city centre quay activities.

The Port was concerned that if proposed changes were made to the city’s South Docklands Local Area Plan (LAP), it would be “severely disadvantaged and its activities potentially undermined”.
