Cork City development plan to be published for public consultation

The new city development plan is the first for the newly enlarged city, and it will be the first of three in the period to 2040 — a period in which Cork has been earmarked to be the fastest-growing city in Ireland.

The draft Cork City development plan, which will guide the newly enlarged city towards ambitious 2040 population growth targets, will be published for public consultation this month.

It follows a series of votes by city councillors on Monday night on a raft of proposed amendments to the draft plan which will shape and guide the city’s development for the next five years.
