All such cases, where legally established by continued use for the same purpose prior to October 1, 1964 or by a planning permission, shall not be subject to legal proceedings under the Acts in respect of the continued use. Where extensions to, or improvements of premises accommodating these uses are proposed, each shall be considered on its merits. 45
46 5.0 Development Control Standards 5.1 Background This chapter deals with design and development. New development in rural and urban areas shall be absorbed and integrated successfully into its environment so that it is in keeping with the character of the area. This section of the plan will set out specific control measures for future development. These control measures will ensure that new development is of a quality, character, scale, layout and form that is of the highest standard. 5.1.1Achievement of Objectives Section 15 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) provides that: • It shall be the duty of a planning authority to take such steps within its powers as may be necessary for securing the objectives of the development plan. The Manager of a planning authority shall, not more than 2 years after the making of a development plan, give a report to the members of the authority on the progress achieved in securing the objectives referred to in subsection(1) It is recognised that the achievement of all of the objectives listed in this Plan depends on a number of factors. For many objectives Kildare County Council may not have the lead role as the issue may not be entirely within its remit but the Council will pursue the achievement of the objective with the relevant organisations and agencies and will provide whatever assistance it can. In particular, it must be recognised that sufficient financial and other resources will be necessary to ensure the achievement of all of the objectives listed. The achievement of some objectives will be entirely dependent on the availability of sufficient resources. While some objectives are achievable from the Council’s own resources, many are dependent on the receipt of funding from Central Government. Kildare County Council will make a case for such assistance in all appropriate circumstances. The primary local source of funding for capital works is the Development Contributions Scheme and the objectives of this plan will be a valuable input to the determination of the list of priority projects for funding from Development Contributions receipts. Development Control will be exercised by the Council in a positive manner, having regard to the provisions of the Planning and Development Acts, 2000-2006, and to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area, its amenities and the Council’s policy objectives for Kilcullen. The requirements and standards set out herein should be seen in this light, as a form of guidance for developers. 5.2 Development Control Standards – Design and Layout 5.2.1 Site Coverage Site coverage standards are intended to avoid the adverse effects of over-development. Site Coverage = Total area of ground covered by buildings Total ground area within the site curtilage The maximum site coverage shall be 50% for residential development, 75% for Industrial and 66% for retail and commercial development. Within the Town Centre Zone, the maximum site coverage shall be 80% for all development. A particular site coverage standard shall be acceptable only where it is consistent with other standards such as open space requirements, car parking, plot ratio, building lines and building heights, fire safety and building regulations together with the amenity of adjoining dwellings. 5.2.2 Plot Ratio The purpose of plot ratio standards is to prevent the adverse effects of over-development on the layout and amenity of buildings on the one hand and to ensure an adequate sense of enclosure and the efficient and suitable use of serviced land on the other hand. Plot Ratio = Gross building floor area Gross site area The gross floor area is the sum of all floor space within the external walls of the buildings, excluding plant, tank rooms and car parking areas. The gross site area is all land within the curtilage of the site. 47
