Stage 1 Baseline: Initial Assessment of the Area
The North Blackpool Kilbarry Expansion area was identified in the Core Strategy for growth for the Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028, which plans out the city's growth up to 2040. It addresses 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 Northern Distributor Multimodal Road.
Cork City Council has commenced the preliminary work on the Framework Plan, starting with a baseline appraisal and feasibility phase. Studies and appraisals have been done to evaluate the current conditions, constraints and opportunities within the Study area.
