Chapter 10: Development Management Guidelines and Standards All proposed developments must comply with Environmental Management Guidelines in the Extractive Industry, EPA 2006. Under Section 261 of the Planning and Development Act 2000-2004, registration of all quarries operating in the Country is required. This section commenced with effect from 28th April 2004 and it is intended to bring all quarries - including those that have claimed exemption because they were operating before the 1963 Planning Act - within the planning system and thus deal with concerns regarding unauthorised sand and gravel quarries in the country. 10.29 FORESTRY (To be read in conjunction with Chapter 6 of the RCDP 2008 - 2014) The Council recognises the economic and recreational potential of forestry. Forestry as a land use and its ancillary development will be encouraged in suitable areas subject to such development not interfering with significant views or prospects or being unduly obtrusive in the landscape. The Council will cooperate with the Forest Service in promoting greater recreational use of state forests in the County. In cases where forestry development is likely to adversely affect public roads, charges will be levied on developers to defray the improvement/maintenance of such roads. The introduction of large-scale forestry areas can have significant negative impacts on an area if they are not in context with the surrounding environment. Forestry activities must be appropriate in terms of nature and scale with the surrounding area, so they are not visually intrusive on the landscape or cause damage to important habitats or the ecology of the area. In order to avoid acidification of our soils and watercourses from coniferous plantations and to promote bio-diversity in so far as it is possible, the Council shall encourage a diversity of species in afforestation proposals. This shall require a proportion of all new forestry development to consist of native hardwood species in order to extend the range of potential end uses and to reduce the potential for adverse impact on the landscape and biodiversity resulting from monoculture. 10.30 RIVER DRAINAGE Traditional drainage practices have resulted in the widening, deepening and straightening of rivers or streams and the creation of channels of uniform gradient and sections. This is highly destructive to fisheries and the following shall be taken into account: - Flood relief can be handled in an environmentally sensitive way by constructing flood berms away from the existing channel or flood bypass channels. These techniques leave the existing channel and bank vegetation intact. - If it is necessary to drain the existing channel consider a two-stage channel retaining as much bank vegetation as possible and avoiding disturbance of the existing river bed. - If lowering the existing channel bed cannot be avoided. Maintain the original low flow channel width. Retain existing bankside vegetation on one side if possible. Restore riffles, pools, bed material and bank cover at the new drainage level. Store gravel bed material for reuse if not naturally available in the lower excavated bed. - Spoil should not be deposited in mounds on the river banks except as a flood berm. 10.30.1 Other Works Any development of the following works (including ancillary) wherein the aquatic environment may be affected shall have regard to Fishery Guidelines published in 1998 by the Department of Marine and Natural Resources including the following: river diversion / road-works; bridges; culverts; fords; storage of fuels and chemicals; concrete and cement; and, amenity works. The council shall also have regard to the prevention or mitigation of any impacts that a development may have on the aquatic environment where amenity is impinged on, especially in urban areas.

Chapter 10: Development Management Guidelines and Standards 10.31 BONDING TO SECURE COMPLETION OF DEVELOPMENT To ensure that permitted development is satisfactorily completed the County Council will require, as a condition of planning permission, that developers give cash deposits or submit a bond from an insurance company or other financial institution acceptable to the Council for the satisfactory completion of developments and their ancillary services. The bond or surety is to be submitted and in place before development is commenced and will be proportionate to the scale of the ancillary works and service works required as part of the development. 10.32 FUTURE PUBLICATIONS, STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES The Council will continue, during the course of the Plan period, to prepare and make available to the public technical and design guidelines on matters affecting the proper planning and sustainable development of the county.
