PART II: DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY FOR 2012 – 2018 & BEYOND Chapter 8: Urban Development & Design 8.2.4 Urban Development within the LAP Area Boyle has a rich blend of history and modern day activity. The town and surrounding area has a considerable wealth of historic and natural features. In order to achieve sustainable development and foster vital communities, neighbourhoods should be encouraged to evolve and grow. Whilst the town has attractive streetscapes with many fine vernacular buildings and traditional fascia, it has a run-down appearance in parts. The town has had little investment in recent years and many retail premises are gradually being replaced by service and office functions. As outlined in Chapter 2 there are opportunities for significant regeneration and redevelopment within the town core and indeed throughout the Plan area. In addition to the policies and objectives outlined in the RCDP 2008-2014, policies and objectives for Urban Development in Boyle are outlined below. Policies for Urban development Policy 70 Consider good urban design principles in the development of the LAP area, and require new development to enhance the existing urban areas and improve pedestrian priority. Policy 71 Development over the lifetime of this Plan shall be focused on employment generation, the consolidation of the town centre, the completion of ongoing developments and the provision of community and social services (where feasible). Objective for Urban development Objective 104 Prevent urban sprawl and ribbon development into the countryside surrounding Boyle, with particular emphasis on control of ribbon development along main approaches to the town. ‣ Residential Development Design It is the policy of the Council to ensure that all residential developments comply with the requirements of the RCDP 2008-2014; Chapter 12; Development Management Guidelines and Standards and Chapter 8 of this LAP, and to ensure that all residential developments have regard to the guidelines published within the Urban Design Manual – A Best Practice, (DEHLG, 2008). It is also the policy of the Council to ensure that all residential proposals protect and improve existing residential amenities and to provide for appropriate residential/infill development, having regard to the topography, scale, character and amenities of the area. A renewed emphasis is required on how quality urban design, based on the principles of good urban spaces, active streets, and a sustainable mix of uses will contribute to the vision of a compact, green town with an enduring economy and quality neighbourhoods. The quality of design, layouts and architectural treatments are essential considerations of the development process. High quality design has a considerable positive impact on the character and vitality of areas where it is achieved. RCC aims to ensure that developments are carried out to design and construction standards which are aesthetically pleasing and functionally and environmentally sustainable. Preplanning discussions with the Planning Authority can assist in achieving quality environments. Policies for Residential Development Policy 72 Facilitate the Housing Authority’s programme for housing, including; • the provision of new housing, • renovation/refurbishment of existing buildings; • the provision of suitable accommodation and facilities for the Traveller Community; • the provision of suitable accommodation for people with disabilities; • the provision of social and affordable housing; and, • implementation of the provisions of Part V. Policy 73 Require that new residential accommodation meets the following; • necessary standards of energy consumption, sanitation and high standards of design; • avoiding unnecessary development on floodplains; • avoid traffic or environmental problems or damage to visual amenity; • encourage suitable infill development on appropriate sites; and, • prevent further ribbon development along roads within the development envelope and immediately contiguous thereto. Policy 74 Ensure that a high standard of design is incorporated into residential developments through careful consideration of the layout to facilitate pedestrian safety and restrict vehicular traffic speeds.
