The property is situated in an area zoned ‘Residential, Local Services and Institutional Uses’ in the Cork City Development Plan 2015 – 2021. It is listed as a protected structure in the development plan.
Lot 2 - Development Site
The property comprises a south facing development site of approx. 0.45 hectares (1.15 acres) situated to the east of the former St. Vincent’s Church. It has extensive road frontage of approx. 88m to Sundays Well Road along its northern boundary although Sundays Well Road is at a higher level. The site is currently overgrown and access is from Rock Well Lane which connects Sundays Well Road with the eastern boundary of the site. There are no buildings on the site although there is a disused former basketball court. The property is in an elevated position with spectacular views overlooking the city centre, River Lee, Mardyke, St. Finbarr’s Cathedral and UCC North Mall Campus.
The drop down to the site from Sundays Well Road varies from approx. 10m - 15m. Given that Sundays Well Road is at a higher level there is a potential for a substantial high rise development or student accommodation development subject to planning permission. This type of development would have limited impact on the adjacent properties, it would have a southerly aspect with magnificent views and it would be within walking distance of the city centre. There is a precedent for large scale development in this location as 162-163 Sundays Well Road directly opposite the subject site was previously developed as 28 apartments over underground car parking.
The property is situated in an area zoned ‘Residential, Local Services and Institutional Uses’ and it is also in an area of high landscape value as outlined in the Cork City Development Plan 2015 -2021.
