PART II: DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY FOR 2012 – 2018 & BEYOND Chapter 8: Urban Development 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 within the lifetime of this plan. The Local Centre in Abbeytown may be a suitable location. 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 Boyle Local Area Plan 2012 – 2018 Page 100
PART II: DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY FOR 2012 – 2018 & BEYOND Chapter 8: Urban Development Industry, and 62.9 Acres / 25.46 Ha be zoned for Industrial Uses. Table 9 below illustrates the areas which are zoned within the Plan area (See appended Maps 14a & 14b). Table 9: Zoning areas for the Boyle LAP Area (Acres) Area (Hectares) Zoning Public Utilities, Services & Facilities 2.972 1.203 Peripheral Town Centre 4.579 1.853 Transitional Agricultural Uses 539.6 218.3 Greenbelt 248.6 100.6 New Residential 67.87 27.47 Community & Educational Facilities 48.26 19.53 Business, Enterprise Park/Light Industry 93.3 37.7 Industrial Uses 62.9 25.46 Existing Residential 341.5 138.2 Core Town Centre 16 6.474 Outer Town Centre 11.04 4.467 Car Parking/Transport Node 0.872 0.353 Local Centre 3.442 1.393 Leisure Tourism 64.41 26.1 Recreation, Amenity & Open Space 49.34 19.97 TOTAL 1554.40 629.04 8.2.2 Further development within the LAP area As mentioned within the earlier part of the LAP, further increases in housing and population within the LAP area will generate demand and need for the provision of an adequate level of community facilities, public transport services, employment opportunities, shopping facilities, road network capacity and general infrastructure in the immediate and broader area. There is also a need for a more attractive and safer pedestrian environment which should include the provision of pedestrian crossings, high quality pavements and cycle paths, street lighting and street furniture in the area. Roscommon County Council has an ongoing requirement for social and affordable housing and will continue to provide this in an orderly manner. This will be achieved through the development of existing Local Authority (LA) housing land as well as through land acquisition, purchase and/or development through the Part V process. Roscommon County Council, in carrying out its housing functions, will have regard to Government Policy as established in ‘Delivering Homes, Sustaining Communities, DoEHLG (2007)’ and the Housing Strategy for County Roscommon. These documents set out the broad aim of ensuring that every household has a dwelling suitable to its needs, located in an acceptable environment and at a price or rent they can afford. The Council will seek the inclusion of a significant social and affordable housing element in large housing scheme proposals. It remains the policy of the Council to encourage the purchase of public housing units by current tenants. To ensure the proper planning and sustainable development of the Boyle LAP area, the Council will require that housing proposals do not cause traffic or environmental problems or damage visual amenity, and that all new residential accommodation is designed to modern standards of energy consumption, convenience and sanitation. The provision of a range of housing forms, types and locations will ensure that the needs of persons seeking housing in the area can be met. Where infill housing or higher density development is proposed it should reflect the existing character of the street and/or immediate area in terms of height, proportion and materials used. Generally, proposals will be required to maintain existing building lines and to respect existing roof pitches, fenestration and other details. The Council will also encourage the renovation and re-occupation of derelict and vacant houses in both urban and rural areas. The provision of quality homes in the Boyle area that are suitable for citizens throughout their lives and adaptable to peoples changing circumstances is fundamental in creating a compact town with sustainable neighbourhoods. Requiring apartment schemes to have good local facilities, and that large schemes are phased to ensure support infrastructure is provided in tandem with residential development will assist in achieving the development strategy. An emphasis on effective property management for both apartment and housing complexes will also improve the quality of residential development. Providing quality homes for all citizens includes the provision of social and affordable housing. The Council will seek to minimise ribbon type development of individual houses along roads in the Plan Area. This can result in a loss of visual amenity, traffic hazards, pollution and the demand for uneconomic extension of services along the outskirts of the Plan Area. The Council will therefore seek to ensure that future development is located within serviceable areas. This will aid the proper planning and sustainable development of the Plan Area.
