for any new development in Monard to be possible. Planning permission should not be granted prior to awarding of
contracts for the works necessary to connect the site applied for to the facilities in question, and works on foot of such
permissions should not occur in advance of works on the relevant facilities. Table 10.3 of the Planning Scheme is an
import summary table showing preconditions for development north of threshold lines, and facilities to be provided in
association with each part of each village.
2.6.46 The Planning Scheme provides for a multi-disciplinary team within the County Council, to ensure a coordinated and
focused approach to provision of infrastructure and facilities, and the processing of planning applications. The multidisciplinary
team will interact with the local community in Monard/Rathpeacon/Kilcronan through a liaison group. This
will provide a regular channel of communication, and make it easier to identify any emerging problems at any early stage.
The Liaison group should be set up well before the commencement of development works. An implementation team for
the development of large residential sites in Cork has been established.
Funding and Contributions Scheme
2.6.47 The provision of the necessary infrastructure on this site involves the complex co-ordination of investment programmes
by a number of infrastructure agencies involving land in a number of different ownerships.
2.6.48 To overcome these difficulties the County Council is proposing to co-ordinate development and infrastructure provision
between the various agencies and landowners through the use of agreements under Section 47 of the Planning and
Development Acts as described in Section 1.
2.6.49 Intending developers are advised to enter discussions with the County Council at an early stage so that proposals for
the funding and delivery of infrastructure to support the proposed development can be agreed at the outset.
Development Contributions
2.6.50 A new General Contribution Scheme which applies to Monard SDZ only was adopted in 2012 in parallel with the 2012
Monard SDZ Planning Scheme. A revised Contribution Scheme accompanied the 2015 scheme which took account
of changes including the transfer of responsibility for water services since 2015. The basis and operation of the
Development Contribution Scheme for Monard (including how equalisation mechanisms will be applied with regard to
the provision of recreational and community facilities is outlined in Chapter 9 of the Planning Scheme itself.)
