Chapter 9: Urban Development Objectives in relation to the Re-Use and Regeneration of Derelict Sites and Buildings Objective 126 Implement the provisions of the Derelict Sites legislation. Policies in relation to Architecture and Urban Design Policy 139 Policy 140 Policy 141 Policy 142 Promote character in Elphin by development that responds to and reinforces local distinctive patterns of development, landscape and culture. Promote the continuity of street frontages and the enclosure of space by development, which clearly defines private and public spaces and has a hierarchy of open spaces: private, semi-private and public. Promote development that has diversity and choice. Promote accessibility and local permeability by developments that connect with each other and are easy to move through, putting people before traffic and integrating land uses and transport. Objectives in relation to Architecture and Urban Design Objective 127 Require designers to; identify and recognise the essential elements of quality, which determine the character of an area, demonstrate that the proposed development has continuity and enclosure of spaces, and that public and private spaces are defined, and demonstrate the adaptability, diversity and mix of the proposed development. Policy in relation to sustainable energy and design Policy 143 Improve qualitative standards of sustainable design in proposed developments in line with the detailed recommendations contained within Section 5.7 and Section 12.3, 12.4 and 12.5 of Volume 1 of the CDP 2008 – 2014 and Chapter 10 of this LAP.

Chapter 10: Development Management Guidelines and Standards 10. DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES AND STANDARDS 10.1 INTRODUCTION It is an obligation of the Council to ensure that planning permissions granted under the Planning Acts are consistent with the policies and objectives set out in the Roscommon County Development Plan 2008 – 2014 (RCDP) and any Local Area Plan (LAP) for the area, and the proper planning and sustainable development of the area. These standards are intended to give information and a general guideline as to the Planning Authority's requirements regarding particular aspects of proposed developments but they are not intended to be inflexible. The standards are intended to give an indication of the criteria the Council will take into account when assessing applications for new developments. These standards and guidelines are complimentary to the overall development strategy and the individual objectives and policies of the RCDP 2008 – 2014 and this LAP. Potential applicants are advised to contact the Planning Authority prior to lodging a planning application particularly in the case of large developments and those requiring an Environmental Impact Statement. Prior consultation with the Planning Authority can reduce delays in the planning process. 10.2 GENERAL DEVELOPMENT Roscommon County Council (RCC) shall look to maintain a clear distinction between towns, villages and their surrounding countryside, and discourage ribbon development and the non-sustainable use of land and resources, which means consolidating existing towns and villages. Good urban design is essential if communities are to be fostered where people want to live and work. It can be achieved by arranging spaces, streets, densities and scale, that combined, can create a sense of place and community. 10.2.1 Building Lines The building line required will relate to the nature and design of the buildings being proposed, and the nature of the layout of the area. The function of building lines in the urban environment is to: • Provide protection from the noise and fumes associated with traffic; • Allow for the provision of off-street car-parking; • Allow for future road development; and, • Ensure that new development is consistent with neighbouring development and appropriate in the context of the surrounding streetscape. However, in certain circumstances it may not be in the interests of the proper planning and development of an area to enforce a rigid figure for building lines, for example, where the introduction of a pre-set building line would disrupt the continuity and flow of the streetscape. Therefore, in respect of appropriate building lines for specific areas and in the interests of maintaining good townscape, the Planning Authority will examine each application on its own merits. In rural areas, development should be set well back from the road. Whilst no specific setback is required, it is unlikely that a development closer than 20 metres to the centre line of the road will be allowed. Where development is proposed which involves the infill or extension of an existing cluster of buildings, the existing building line will normally be required to be retained. For high-density urban developments, buildings will be permitted at the inside edge of footpaths in suitable circumstances. Where buildings are proposed in proximity to scheduled maintainable water channels/ stream a minimum set back of 10 metres is required on either side of the channel.
