Chapter 4: Retail Strategy x Introduction CHAPTER 4 RETAIL STRATEGY 4 4.1 The Metropolitan Cork Joint Retail Strategy 2013 was prepared on behalf of Cork City Council and Cork County Council in accordance with the Retail Planning Guidelines for Planning Authorities (2012), issued by the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government. The strategy was informed by background study, the Metropolitan Cork Joint Retail Study 2013. 4.2 The strategy forms the agreed basis on which each authority will formulate appropriate development plan objectives/ policies for retail development and will be used to determine retail planning applications. 4.3 The strategy identifies the broad floorspace requirements for additional retail development over the plan period in support of the settlement hierarchy, as set out in the core strategy; and the location, quantity and type/ function of retail floorspace within Metropolitan Cork. Objective 4.1 Strategic Retail objectives a. To maintain and strengthen the role of Cork City Centre as the primary retail centre in the South-West region b. To create vibrant mixed-use district centres within the suburbs c. To provide good quality and accessible convenience goods shopping to all residents of the city Retail Trends 4.4 The economic slowdown led to a very significant decline in the retail sector and in new retail developments. There has been an increase in vacancy and dereliction in some areas of town and city centres countrywide. The potential for large scale schemes has reduced and the demand for retail warehousing has declined, however some sectors, such as the discount foodstore sector, remain strong, and some comparison retailers continue to expand and invest in Ireland. 4.5 There are a number of extant permissions containing significant retail provision in the city and high levels of vacant floorspace in some centres in the Metropolitan Area. The extent of unimplemented permissions and vacant floorspace are key considerations in the strategy. Existing Floorspace 4.6 In October 2012 it is estimated that there was a total of 403,244sq.m. net occupied retail floorspace within the Metropolitan Area, which is made up of 27% convenience, 46% comparison and 27% retail warehousing / bulky goods. The Cork City Centre is the primary comparison goods retail centre within the Metropolitan Area with 48% of all comparison floorspace located here. Cork City Centre has a market share of 59.8% of comparison spend within the Metropolitan Area. Mahon Point Shopping Centre is the second most popular location with a market share of 15.7%.
