5.0 <strong>Urban</strong> Design Appraisal<br />
5.1.6 Views and Vistas<br />
There are several significant views in the town centre.These should be<br />
considered carefully in proposing changes to the spatial structure of<br />
the town. Please refer to Map 6: Views and Vistas<br />
The significant views and vistas within <strong>Donabate</strong> town centre are:<br />
1. View of the tower element of Saint Patrick’s Church of<br />
Ireland Church and significant tree group from Turvey<br />
Avenue looking southeast<br />
2. An historic view of ‘the Cottage’ and associated<br />
landscaping from Turvey Avenue looking due south<br />
3. View of Saint Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church across the<br />
graveyard from the bridge looking northeast<br />
4. The view looking south into the town centre on arrival<br />
from Portrane Road with Saint Patrick’s Roman Catholic<br />
Church steeple as a background landmark<br />
Promoting, enhancing and protecting these views will reinforce local<br />
character, draw people through the town centre, provide attractive<br />
settings for development and aid legibility and orientation around the<br />
town.<br />
