MKO have undertaken a Retail Impact Assessment of the existing Neighbourhood Centre and its catchment in accordance with the provision of the Retail Planning Guidelines 2012 published by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. This Assessment has identified a significant shortfall in the quantum of convenience retail floorspace available to serve the local catchment. The requested amendment to the Draft Cork City Development Plan referred to above would support the provision of convenience retail development at an appropriate scale to meet the unmet demand in the catchment area.
