The planning regulator has told the Government that the Cork City Development Plan, which is due to kick in today, “fails out to set out an overall strategy” for the proper planning and sustainable development of the city.
The Office of the Planning Regulator (OPR) wrote to the Minister of State with responsibility for Local Government and Planning to request he directly order changes to the development plan, which had been agreed by councillors, including around the zoning of land in Glanmire.
