necessary to extend by approximately 2 classrooms at
primary level. It may also be necessary to extend by
approximately 1-2 classrooms at secondary level, to
accommodate the scale of residential development
proposed over the period of the Plan.
Childcare: Additional childcare facilities will be
provided as part of permitted residential development.
Healthcare: Additional healthcare facilities may be
needed within the lifetime of this Plan.
Retail: - Additional retail facilities may also be required

Determining Factors for Phase 2
1. Location & Need
Phase 2 lands consist of land parcels E, F, and G, east of
the town (See Figure 7 below and Maps 14a & 14b).
These lands have access to existing water, sewerage and
road networks. There is an existing permission for
residential development on a portion of land parcel E.
Parcels F and G provide opportunities for appropriate
infill development. In depth development of these lands
will be considered appropriate after 70% of Phase 1
lands are developed, or have development consent. In
year 3 of this LAP, RCC may conduct an interim review
to assess the “take-up” of Phase 1 lands and the overall
phasing plan may then be reviewed.
2. Capacity of Water, Drainage & Roads
Infrastructure
Water: Adequate capacity
Sewerage: Adequate capacity. (See Chapter 3)
Roads: Internal roads infrastructure within developments
will be required, possibly extensions from neighbouring
estates. Provision of footpaths and street-lighting etc
may also be required.
3. Supporting Infrastructure & Facilities
Education: Taking into account the growth of the
existing population in Boyle, and the development of
approximately 183 additional households on Phase 2
lands (22.83 acres x 8 houses per acre), it will be
necessary to provide an additional 2 classrooms at
primary level and 1-2 at secondary level (See Chapter 4).
These should be sufficient to accommodate this scale of
residential development.
Childcare: Additional childcare facilities will be
provided by developers.
Healthcare: Additional healthcare facilities may need to
be provided in the area.
Community Facilities: Additional facilities may be
needed and will be provided as part of permitted
residential development. Playing pitches with associated
facilities and a playground are amongst these.
Retail: Additional retail facilities within the Local
Centre in Abbeytown may be required within the
lifetime of this plan.
Determining Factors for Phase 3
1. Location & Need
Phase 3 lands consist of two parcels of land; H (north of
the Abbeytown Road) and I (south of the Abbeytown
Road). These lands have access to water, sewerage and
the existing road network. Development of these lands
will be considered appropriate after 70% of Phase 2
lands are developed or have development consent.
2. Capacity of Water, Drainage & Roads
Infrastructure
Water: Adequate capacity (See Chapter 3)
Sewerage: The plant is designed for a population
equivalent (PE) of 6,000 and capacity may need to be
expanded for this phase. The plant can be increased to
an ultimate design population equivalent of
approximately 9,000 within the current site.
Roads: Internal roads infrastructure within
developments will be required, possibly extensions
from neighbouring estates. Provision of and/or upgrade
of footpaths and street-lighting etc may also be
required.
3. Supporting Infrastructure & Facilities
Education: Taking into account the growth of the
existing population in Boyle and the development of
approx. 188 additional households (23.55 acres x 8
houses per acre) on Phase 3 lands, it will be necessary
to consider an additional 2 classrooms at primary level
and 1-2 at secondary level (see Chapter 4) to
accommodate this scale of residential development. A
possible extension to the existing Community School
facilities may be required.
Childcare: Additional childcare facilities will be
provided by developers.
Community Facilities: Additional facilities will be
needed within the lifetime of this Plan such as sports
and recreation facilities, and a playground, amongst
others, and will be provided as part of permitted
residential development.
Healthcare: Additional healthcare facilities need to be
provided in the area.
Retail: Additional retail facilities need to be provided in
the area particularly within the local centre.
In addition to land zoned for residential purposes, it is
recommended that approximately 93.3 Acres / 37.7 Ha
of land be zoned for Business, Enterprise Park/Light
