Having regard to the current surplus in potential housing units and residentially zoned land in the plan area, and to ensure that the Kiltimagh Local Area Plan is, as far as practicable, consistent with the Mayo County Development Plan and its Core Strategy (and accordingly with the RPGs and NSS) it is necessary to: • Introduce a phased approach to future multiple residential development within the plan area; Phase 1 lands are residentially zoned lands that meet the needs of the projected population over the lifetime of the plan The revised zoning policy, which is shown on Map 1.5: Land Use Zoning is as follows: Phase 1 Residential Land Phase 1 residential lands comprise of all unfinished housing estates listed in the Department of Environment, Community & Local Government’s National Housing Development Survey 2010, and all existing residentially zoned land which currently have live planning permissions that have not yet commenced. This will result in a capacity in Phase 1 residential lands for the provision of 136 housing units which is an excess of the required number of units for the plan period by one unit. All land in Phase 1 shall be developed in compliance with their current zoning as indicated on Map 1.5 or in compliance with the existing planning permission (where relevant). Phase 2 Residential Land Phase 2 residential lands comprise of the surplus of residentially zoned lands indentified in the Core Strategy. Phase 2 residential lands shall not be considered for development until such time as 70% of the lands in Phase 1 have been fully developed; and subject to the establishment of a proven demand for housing in accordance with RPG population projections. TA-7 Table 1.5 Additional Land Use Areas Proposed (p17) contained in Section 1.4.1 Land Use Zoning: Add Phase 1 and Phase 2 zonings and include revised figures: Table 1.5: Additional Land Use Areas Proposed Land Use Category Existing Hectares (Acres) Undeveloped Residential Low Density Phase 2 4.46 Ha (11 acres) Residential Medium Density Phase1 14.06 4.2 Ha (34.74 10.39acres) Residential Medium Density Phase2 14.11 Ha (34.88 acres) Town Centre 7.69 (19 acres) Community Facilities 1.36 Ha (3.36 acres) Industrial - Commercial 6.12 Ha (15.12 acres) Open Space Amenity 1.81 Ha (4.47 acres) Public Utility 1.12 Ha (2.77 acres) Agricultural/Rural 76.72 Ha (189.57 acres) TA-8 It is proposed to amend Section 1.4.2 Zoning Objectives (p18) as follows: R1-R2: Residential (Phase 1 and Phase 2) - To provide for new residential development and services associated with residential development at appropriate densities. Housing is the primary use in this zone but childcare and recreational facilities are also envisaged for this zone. 10
There are two different density zones: R1 (Phase 2) - Low Density at up to10 units/ha (up to 4 units/acre). R2 (Phase 1 and Phase 2) - Medium Density at 16-26 units/ha (6-10 units per acre). R1 and R2 Phase 2 residential lands shall not be considered for development until such time as 70% of the lands in Phase 1 have been fully developed. TA-9 Subsection 2.5.4 Housing Policies contained in Section 2.5 Housing (p26-28): Add additional text and new polices to implement the phasing approach and the requirements of the Core Strategy HP1: Provide for sufficient zoned land to allow for the target population of an additional 477 225 persons by 2016 from 2010, in compliance with the Core Strategy contained in the Mayo County Development Plan 2008-2014 P27 New Policy: HP2: To ensure that Lands phased for development in Phase 2 shall only be considered for development when 70% of the land in Phase 1 has been fully developed and subject to the establishment of proven evidence based demand for the development in accordance with the Regional Planning Guidelines for the West Region. P27 New Policy: HP3: To monitor and to encourage the completion of unfinished housing developments in the plan area in accordance with the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government guidance manual Managing and Resolving Unfinished Housing Developments (August 2011). P27 New Policy: HP4: To monitor and manage the implementation of the phasing policy within the plan area. All other policy numbers in this section shall be changed accordingly as follows: HP2 HP5: Ensure that the necessary services and utilities required in residential developments are provided concurrent with the construction of new dwellings. HP3 HP6: Promote orderly and sustainable development by encouraging where necessary land assembly and shared access arrangements. HP4 HP7: Promote the concept of living over the shop in order to preserve the residential function of the town centre. HP5HP8: Ensure that residential development is managed in such a manner that infill development and backland development can be prioritised in advance of greenfield sites. HP6HP9: Require high standards of urban and architectural design in proposed residential developments. The Council will promote a permeable road/street network with a general presumption that connections to surrounding developments/lands will be facilitated. HP7HP10: Ensure the provision of a wide-range of housing types and sizes to cater for the differing needs of the population, including the provision of sheltered housing for the elderly. HP8HP11: Have regard to “Quality Housing For Sustainable Communities Best Practice Guidelines for Delivering Homes Sustaining Communities" (DoEHLG 2007) in terms of scheme layout, dwelling design and internal design standards.
