“This site was the subject of MD2.1 which was defeated.<br />
The site is zoned RU in the <strong>Draft</strong> Development Plan. The total area being sought is<br />
approximately 12 ha. The site is located approximately 1.6km east of the Naul.<br />
There is an extensive planning history on the lands. 11 planning applications have<br />
been refused because of the inadequacy of the road network.<br />
The subject lands comprise of approximately 21 houses along a laneway which are<br />
set back making it difficult to provide for additional houses on the individual sites.<br />
Within the subject lands there appears to be 3 fields available (3.37 ha) which have<br />
no existing houses on them but could potentially accommodate approximately 10<br />
houses. It is not considered appropriate given the inadequate road network to<br />
zone the lands RC. The subject lands are in close proximity to the Naul Village and<br />
it is considered that there are a sufficient number of Rural Clusters in the <strong>County</strong><br />
to provide for rural generated housing need.<br />
The delineation of the lands does not lend itself to development in accordance<br />
with the RC zoning objective, which is to ‘Provide for small scale infill<br />
development serving local needs while maintaining the rural nature of the<br />
cluster’. The development for housing of these lands would be likely to result in<br />
ribbon development which would be unsightly, out of keeping with the rural<br />
character of the area and detrimental to traffic safety.<br />
There is a sufficient quantum of land zoned in the Naul to cater for the needs of<br />
the village. The proposed rezoning would be contrary to Objective Villages 1 of the<br />
<strong>Draft</strong> Development Plan,
