The council’s formal grounds for this decision. Planner assessment and later appeal outcomes are separate.
The proposed development, in particular the coffee shop drive-through facility, is located adjacent to a key radial and bus route to and from Cork City, which is heavily trafficked. This route also serves pedestrians and cyclists. It is considered that the proposed development which is a car orientated development, contravenes Strategic Objective 3 of the Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028 and undermines the strategic vision for the city in terms of integrating people orientated developments along sustainable and active travel corridors in the city. Notwithstanding the measures outlined in the application, to address traffic generated by the proposed development, these are not sufficient and could contribute a further increase in traffic movements to the site. The proposed development will result in a traffic hazard and endanger public safety. The proposed development would not be in accordance with the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
Official final decision · PDF page 2The subject site is situated on land zoned for sustainable residential neighbourhoods in the Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028. Such zoning allows for uses that contribute to sustainable residential neighbourhoods are also acceptable in principle in this zone provided they do not detract from the primary objective of protecting residential amenity and do not conflict with other objectives of this Development Plan, and such uses include small-scale local services including local convenience shops. As per paragraph ZO 1.2 of the Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028, development that does not support the primary objective of this zone will be resisted. Having regard to the scale and form of the proposed development, which includes the provision of a drive-through restaurant which is and would continue to be the principal use of the site, it is considered that the proposed drive-through use and would provide for a restaurants/cafés which would extend substantially beyond the local service and local population. Furthermore, as per paragraph 11.186 of the Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028 for Hot-Food Takeaways/Fast-food Restaurants ‘fast food outlets/takeaways with proposed drive-through facilities will generally only be acceptable within designated Level 2 District/Large Urban Town Centres (Ballincollig) and will be assessed on a case-by-case basis’. The proposed development being coffee shop operation and drive-through facility as set out in the application is deemed to come within the scope of a hot-food takeaway/fast-food restaurant. The subject site is not a Level 2 District/Large Town Urban Centre. The proposed development would, therefore, materially contravene the land use zoning objective of the site, contravene other provisions of the Cork City Development Plan and would not be in accordance with the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
