PART I: INTRODUCTION & CONTEXT Chapter 2: Historic Context, Settlement Policy & Vision 2.3.2 An Post Geodirectory The primary aim of the development and settlement Figure 2: West Region – Spatial Settlement Utilising the An Post Geodirectory, the number of existing households in the Boyle LAP area has been calculated at approximately 1492 (January 2011). If one were to apply the figure of 2.6 persons (CSO, 2006) as the average number of people per household in the aggregate town areas for County Roscommon, the current population for the Boyle LAP area is approximately 3,879 people. 2.4 SETTLEMENT POLICY This LAP must be consistent with government policy documents such as the National Spatial Strategy, the Regional Planning Guidelines for the West, and the statutory guidelines on Sustainable Rural Housing, amongst others. It is therefore important to consider the role of Boyle within this national spatial development perspective in order to ensure that the LAP is consistent with, and contributes to, the delivery of National Spatial policy at a local level. strategy in the Roscommon County Development Plan 2008-2014 (RCDP) is to consolidate the County as an attractive place in which to live, work, visit and recreate. The plan seeks to achieve this aim through the development of all parts of the county through: ‣ economic and social development in the towns and villages, where most new development will be channeled and where it can bring benefits both to the settlements themselves and to their rural hinterlands; and, ‣ growth and diversification in rural areas, especially where there has been an underlying trend of population decline. The RCDP seeks to promote the development of settlements in accordance with their location in a hierarchy and as outlined in the NSS and RPGs. The strategic aim of these policies is to create a more sustainable balanced development pattern in County Roscommon. In the National Spatial Strategy 2002-2020 (NSS); Roscommon Town, Monksland (Athlone Environs), Boyle, Castlerea and Ballaghaderreen are the principle settlements within the county that serve as the primary residential, employment, service and retail centres. In the Regional Planning Guidelines for the West Region 2010–2022 (RPGs) Boyle is classified as a Key Town. The guidelines seek to develop the strategic roles for the Key Towns, and support sustainable towns through County Development Plans and Local Area Plans which take account of employment, community, infrastructure and environmental requirements in serving the urban and rural hinterland areas. In terms of the current settlement pattern in County Roscommon, Boyle is a principle settlement within the county which serves as the primary residential, employment, service and retail centre. Boyle is identified as a Tier 2: Key support towns/settlements. These centres are described as having an interacting and supporting role to the County town and also act as service centres for their adjacent rural areas, which should be further enhanced. They have an extensive range of services, they also have a growing residential and commercial sector; strong connections also exist from these settlements to towns and counties adjacent to County Roscommon, for example, Boyle to Sligo; and transportation linkages should be strengthened between these areas, and to the County Town.
