2.4.1 Land Uses<br />
THE VILLAGE CORE<br />
<strong>Howth</strong> has a typically wide mix of residenti al, community, ecclesiasti<br />
cal and commercial uses for a village of its size. Comparison retail<br />
at ground fl oor levels is mainly concentrated along the Main Street.<br />
Typical uses include an anti que shop, a fl ower shop, a hairdresser, two<br />
pharmacies as well as numerous public houses. Convenience retail<br />
consists of a Centra and a Spar located at Main Street. The village core<br />
is unlikely to att ract a large format retailer due to the core’s ti ght urban<br />
grain, but could accommodate specialist niche retailers.<br />

Harbour Road has a broad range of comparison retail uses. Along<br />
Harbour Road uses consist of a jewellery shop, denti st, barber, clothing<br />
shops, restaurants and a public house. Along West Pier, uses are marine<br />
related and consist of fi sh restaurants, fi sh mongers, fi sh processors,<br />
