Limerick 2030 An Economic and Spatial Plan for Limerick Infrastructure and Capital Investment 2012-2016: Medium Term Exchequer Framework The Infrastructure and Capital Investment Plan/Programme 2012-2016: Medium Term Exchequer Framework provides details of the funding that will be provided up to 2016. The reason this document has temporarily replaced the NDP is due to the financial crisis that has affected the country. This document has limited allocation of funding but it does commit to continue to provide funding to any project that is already at contract stage. In the case of Limerick this includes the University of Limerick Medical School, King John’s Castle and Limerick Riverside development. The framework also makes a commitment to continue to provide funding for the Limerick Regeneration Areas. Though one-off projects may be announced, any project that is not specifically mentioned within this framework will not receive funding. Limerick Local Government Committee The Committee was asked to provide a report as to the most appropriate arrangements for the governance of Limerick City and County. There were a number of challenges facing Limerick as it attempted to continue to develop in line with the NSS. The report noted that whilst individual local authorities performed competently, cooperation across institutional boundaries was weak on strategic issues. It also noted issues in Limerick’s core such as a falling population, higher unemployment and a clear need for renewal. The report recommended expanding the area designated as a “City” and to provide for a single authority that would replace Limerick City Council and Limerick County Council. The new authority will be known as “Limerick City & County Council.” This policy is being implemented by the Limerick Reorganisation Committee. Other National Documents; Sustainable Development: A Strategy for Ireland, 1997 provides a framework for the achievement of sustainable development at local level. National Climate Change Strategy 2007-2012 aims to ensure Ireland reaches its target under the Kyoto Protocol to limit greenhouse gas emissions. Statutory Guidelines are issued by the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government regularly to Planning Authorities on aspects of planning policy and these are considered and should be noted. Examples of these include inter alia the Retail Planning Guidelines, the Development Management Guidelines, Flood Risk Management Guidelines, Architectural Heritage Protection Guidelines, Urban Design Manual, etc. June 2013 12
Limerick 2030 An Economic and Spatial Plan for Limerick Regional Policy Mid-West Regional Planning Guidelines 2010-2022 (RPG’s) There are 8 Regional Authorities in Ireland and Limerick is contained within the Mid West Region. Every six years, since 2004, a Regional Authority must produce a set of Regional Planning Guidelines that provide for the development of the region. The role of the RPG’s is to: Disseminate the policies contained within the NSS and NDP throughout the regions Provide objectives and targets to guide development plans by Planning Authorities Promote the co-ordinated development of the region Assess the current state of the region and to assess its development potential over a twelve year period Under the Planning and Development (Amendment) Act 2010, it is necessary for Planning Authorities to be consistent with the objectives contained within the Regional Planning Guidelines. This also includes a necessity to provide a “core strategy” which details an evidence base for the zoning of residential development. The RPG’s see the Regeneration Projects as significant positives for Limerick City. It also notes that the administrative area of Limerick City is less than that of its area of influence. With regard to this, it notes the conflicting issues and challenges that accompany this, such as councils competing for development and commercial rates. Limerick City is described as a fine grain City Centre that is yet to establish a “core City Centre”. This is due to suburbanisation, poor upkeep of public areas and competition from neighbouring authorities. The RPG’s also recognise that there are a number of industrial estates linked to Limerick City. The RPG’s comment on other settlements that are included within the economic study area; Newcastle West: Important service town in West Limerick Askeaton: Links to Foynes Port and the possibility of a power generation project Kilmallock: It is a principal service centre for East Limerick and there is a potential for a re- opening of the rail station The only other issue identified is a potential flooding issue but this will depend on site specifics. Mid-West Retail Strategy 2010-2016 Colliers CRE were commissioned to revise the 2003 Retail Strategy, which covers the areas of Limerick City Council, Limerick County Council and Clare County Council. The report was published in December 2009 and contains some key findings. For instance, it found that within the Mid-West June 2013 13
