Save Cork City say the current Draft Development Plan does not reflect the full concerns of the city.
The group claim the plan doesn't take issues such as habitat loss, climate change and heritage loss seriously enough and say the 'tone of business as usual' may work in the short term but show a reluctance to 'accept uncomfortable truths' about the global challenges the city faces.
Save Cork City say the Draft City Development Plan has been prepared by hardworking people but have cautioned that the plan has limitations.
Speaking to RedFM News, John Hegarty of Save Cork City outlines some of the groups concerns about the plan.
"Habitat loss, climate change, sea level rise - those points are the concerns of everybody.
"In a way there's a conflict in the development plan, in that the amount of development and the kind of development and in how it relates to transport documentation, there's a conflict in what we do as a society to respond to these issues.
"We all want growth, we all want development - or do we? Not everybody does."
