Chapter 4: Infrastructure and Services It is imperative that dependency on landfill continues to be reduced through re-use, recycling, composting and education. The Council also recognises that litter is an environmental problem, which can detract from the visual quality of a town. Litter has been a significant problem in Elphin for several years. Roscommon County Council actively promotes litter awareness programmes and these will continue over the plan period. Elphin has an active Tidy Towns Committee and has been increasingly successful in the Tidy Towns competition in recent years, with a marked improvement in the appearance of the village since its first entry. Roscommon County Council (RCC) promotes an integrated approach to waste management for any proposed development(s) within the local authority area. In addition, RCC promotes the development of an integrated plan for managing waste which should include wastes generated during the construction phase of development as well as the operation and maintenance phases. In this regard, developers are directed to the DoEHLG Best Practice Guidelines on the preparation of Waste Management Plans for Construction & Demolition Projects, July 2006. Developers are referred, in particular, to the thresholds set out in Section 3 of these Best Practice Guidelines with respect to the recommendation that developers of projects with significant potential for the generation of Construction and Demolition (C&D) should prepare a Waste Management Plan. RCC also promotes the undertaking of appropriate investigations to determine the nature and extent of any soil and / or groundwater contamination and the risks associated with site development work, where Brownfield development is to occur within the Plan area. Management of all wastes associated with excavation, demolition and development activities, including contaminated and hazardous material, must have the required authorisation, as appropriate. Policies in relation to Waste Management Policy 29 Implement the objectives of the Connaught Waste Management Replacement Plan 2006. Policy 30 Policy 31 Policy 32 Policy 33 Policy 34 Encourage the recycling of construction and demolition waste and the reuse of aggregate and other materials. Promote the increased re-use and recycling of materials from waste sources and cooperate with local retailers and residents associations in managing collection points for recycling goods. Support the establishment of a Litter Management Plan for Elphin. Take account of any national and regional waste management planning processes so that priority waste issues are addressed i.e. the implementation of segregated brown bin collection for bio waste, for example the DoEHLG Circular WPPR 17/08 National Strategy on Biodegradable waste. Take account, where appropriate, of the information and any recommendations in the EPA reports: The Nature and Extent of Unauthorised Waste Activity in Ireland (Sep 2005) National Waste Report 2006 National Hazardous Waste Management Plan 2008-2012 Ireland’s Environment 2008- State of the Environment report Elphin Local Area Plan 2009-2015 Page 30
Chapter 4: Infrastructure and Services Policy 35 Policy 36 Take account of any policies and programmes that may be in place for waste management issues, such as the relevant Environmental Inspection Plan (developed in line with the Council Recommendation on Minimum Criteria for Environmental Inspections – RMCEI) and Enforcement Policy for Unauthorised Waste Activity established following the Ministerial Policy Direction of July 2008 (Circular WPR 04/08). Promote, where appropriate, the DoEHLG Best Practice Guidelines on the preparation of Waste Management Plans for Construction & Demolition Projects, July 2006. Objectives in relation Wastewater Management Objective 40 Objective 41 Objective 42 Encourage and assist the community to become involved in environmental awareness activities and community-based recycling initiatives or environmental management initiatives that will lead to sustainable waste management practices. Liaise and work with the Elphin Tidy Towns Committee in order to develop and implement a strategy to increase the awareness of litter, and implement controls and improvements with respect to litter. Require the undertaking of appropriate investigations to determine the nature and extent of any soil and / or groundwater contamination and the risks associated with site development work, where Brownfield development is to occur within the Plan area. 4.6 ENERGY 4.6.1 Policy Context The National Spatial Strategy 2002-2020 indicates that the key points to consider between local planning and electricity network planning are as follows; • The need to address electricity infrastructure in CDP’s and LAP’s to facilitate national, regional and local economic progress • The need to liaise with the operators of the transmission and distribution grids, particularly in the environs of towns, to ensure the continued availability of corridors for overhead cables and continuity of supply for existing and new users of electricity. The Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Act, 2006 This Act makes provision for key infrastructure development applications to be directed to the new division of An Bord Pleanála for consideration. All planning applications for high powered transmission lines are now expected to go directly to the Bord. This change in the legislation will ensure a more speedy approach to such applications, and, decisions will be delivered within an eight week timeframe by the Bord directly, rather than by a Local Authority. White Paper on Energy Policy Framework 2007-2020 The recently published White Paper document sets out the Government’s Energy Policy Framework 2007-2020 to deliver a sustainable energy future for Ireland. The document prioritised the delivery of the Single Electricity market in 2007, while continuing to enhance an all-island approach to gas, renewable energy, energy efficiency and energy research. The document sets out a number of strategic policy aims and goals: Elphin Local Area Plan 2009-2015 Page 31
