2.0 Howth in Context 2.4.12 Urban Grain THE VILLAGE CORE Building widths range on average from 6 to 8 metres in the village core. The historic narrow frontage approach establishes a building line of linked dwellings and conti nuous building frontage. This provides a very effi cient use of land with a high building density. Building depths remain consistent within the village core. On average, building depths are 13 metres. THE HARBOUR AREA Within this area, the mixture of marine industry uses result in varying building widths. On average building widths are between 8 and 19 metres. Building depths remain consistent with an average depth of 15 metres. HOWTH ROAD To the north of Howth Road the Techrete site’s urban grain is in extreme contrast to the predominantly fi ne grain of the existi ng residenti al uses. Building widths here are in excess of 100 metres with depths varying up to a maximum of approximately 50 metres.
