CC4 St Patrick’s Hospital grounds C,D,H 10 Views and Prospects 10.26 Cork City benefits from the prominent ridges which provide a series of striking viewing points of the city. This important resource helps to define the character and identity of the city. Given the development pressures associated with the planned growth of the City, the Council is faced with the challenge of managing development and protecting the city’s valued landscape and views of same. 10.27 In general, the city is appreciated by most people along viewpoints such as the River Lee and panoramic views from elevated sites. Amenity views and prospects are defined as those views which significantly contribute to the character and amenity of the city, namely, • the visual envelope of the city defined by the ridges to the north and south; • the city skyline, • the built and natural heritage of the city. 10.28 Cork City Council has identified a number of existing views and prospects of special amenity value to the city. These special views are of strategic significance to Cork City and the City Council will seek to protect and enhance them, where appropriate. In order to fully appreciate and legislate for the unique size, scale and distinctive topography of Cork City, five different view types (below) were identified. 10.29 There will be a presumption against any development that threatens to obstruct strategic views or compromise the quality or setting of these views. In addition to the strategic views and prospects of 134 Draft Cork City Development Plan 2015-2021
Chapter 10: Landscape and Natural Heritage x special amenity value, local views of significance are also very important to the character and legibility of neighbourhoods. Local views will be identified and assessed on a case-by-case basis through the planning process. There will be a presumption against any proposal that would cause unacceptable harm to local views of significance and their settings. 10.30 Protected views are mapped in Volume 2, listed in Volume 3. The said list of protected views is under constant review and as such is not exhaustive. Additional views may be identified through the development management process, through the preparation of local area plans or other policy documents. Types of Views Linear Views of Landmark Buildings 10.31 These occur where a particular landmark/ building is the main point of focus. Views tend to be framed within relatively narrow viewing corridors such as laneways and streets. The views of landmark buildings are considered to be of particular importance and special amenity value. The majority of these views are from city centre or inner city viewing locations. Panoramic Views 10.32 Panoramas are wide views of the city and suburbs (often from elevated sites) featuring a varying number of city’s landmarks. These panoramic views from specified locations or ‘Panoramic Assessment Points’ are considered to be of particular importance and are important reference points from which large development proposals can be assessed in terms of visual impact. River Prospects 10.33 River prospects are views of landmark buildings from bridges but also riverbanks and quaysides. Townscape and Landscape Features 10.34 These are views of areas that have distinctive/ outstanding townscape or landscape features within the city including views of the city ridges. Approach Road Views 10.35 The approach roads into Cork city offer visitors the vital ‘first impression’ of the city and glimpse of the unique topography and character of Cork. Historical routes into the city tend to be from high vantage points, whereas the national primary roads offer wider viewing corridors. 10 Objective 10.6 Views and Prospects To protect and enhance views and prospects of special amenity value or special interest and contribute to the character of the City’s landscape from inappropriate development, in particular those listed in the development plan. There will be a presumption against development that would harm, obstruct or compromise the quality or setting of linear views of landmark buildings, panoramic views, rivers prospects, townscape and landscape views and approach road views. To identify and protect views of local significance through the preparation of local area plans, site development briefs and the assessment of development proposals on a case-by-case basis.
