Chapter 10: Landscape and Natural Heritage x CHAPTER 10 LANDSCAPE AND NATURAL HERITAGE Introduction 10.1 With the intensification of the City its landscape and natural heritage assets are of huge importance to those living, working and visiting Cork. They are vital to quality of life, are non-renewable assets and help enhance the attractiveness and image of the city. 10.2 Cork City has an attractive physical setting formed by the Lee Valley and Estuary and the ridges rising to the north and south. These features are supplemented by a range of public open spaces, parks, walkways, public and private spaces, trees and tree groups, and together form the ‘green infrastructure’ of the city, which play a significant role in supporting biodiversity, such as mammals, birds, invertebrates, trees and plants. 10.3 The distribution of landscape, natural heritage and recreational assets (see Chapter 11) is vitally important to creating an accessible city. The City Council will strive to create a network of natural heritage areas and recreational open spaces / amenity areas by promoting linkages and accessibility between these areas and by using walkways / cycleways to connect them where appropriate, and to encourage alternative transportation modes. Landscape Introduction 10.4 Cork’s landscape forms a key aspect of the city’s character as outlined above. Landscape is defined as an area, as perceived by people, whose character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and/ or human factors, (European Landscape Convention). 10 10.5 Landscape shapes our image of a place, give us a sense of place, an identity and can be a source of pride and inspiration and so influence our well-being and quality of life. All aspects of our natural, built and cultural heritage come together in the landscapes we experience. Landscape is a finite resource but is constantly changing through natural processes and through human activity. It is in our interest to ensure that the city’s landscape assets are protected. 10.6 Cork City as a focus for economic development and population growth is under constant pressure of development. The challenge for Cork City Council is to manage the city’s landscape in a manner that facilitates economic growth and development while protecting and enhancing the city’s key landscape assets and resources. Objective 10.1 Landscape Strategic Objectives To preserve and enhance Cork’s landscape character and key landscape assets To preserve and enhance Cork’s views and prospects of special amenity value Draft Cork City Development Plan 2015-2021 123
