•
•
•
•
•
EU Climate Change Programme
EU Drinking Water Directive
EU Environmental Impact Assessment Directive
EU Air Quality Framework Directive
UN Framework Convention on Climate Change
National Development Plan 2007- 2013
Key objectives:
• Decisively tackle structural infrastructural deficits that
impact on competitiveness, regional development &
quality of life.
• Greatly enhance enterprise development, Science,
Technology, Innovation, Training and Skills to improve
economic performance, competitiveness & the capacity
to generate new enterprise winners
• Integrate regional development with national spatial
strategy framework to achieve economic growth &
balanced development
National Spatial Strategy (NSS)
• A 20-year coherent national planning framework for Ireland
• In order to drive development in the regions the NSS requires
that areas of sufficient scale and critical mass be built up
through a network of Gateways and Hubs
• Identified nine strategically located medium sized hubs which
will support and be supported by the gateways
• Implemented through the translation of its strategic policies
into regional and local planning by regional and local
authorities & the uptake of its approach into national plans and
& government departments e.g. national transport policies.
Core messages of NSS
•
•
•
•
•
A wider
range of work opportunities - enhance capital city
but strengthen the drawing power of the regions
A better quality of life - add to the attractiveness and
competitiveness of a place
A better place to live – cities and towns meet economic
and social needs
Effective urban and rural planning
Getting things done – mechanisms put in place to ensure
objectives are achieved
National Spatial Policy – Gateways and Hubs
Regional Planning - Guidelines
• Regional authorities established comprising counties in the region
• Aim is to set out a framework for long term strategic development
and to develop a regional economic development strategy
• The development of the region is measured against targets for
population, housing, infrastructure, economic and social trends,
National Spatial Strategy and preservation of the environment.
• Key issues identified & strategic goals set
• Implementation group established - reviewed yearly to determine if
aims are being met (by means of outcome indicators)
Pre draft development:
RPG’s a key input to
population, housing
strategy, spatial &
settlement, inter county &
regional issues &
infrastructural priorities
Ministry: examine draft
plan to check that it is in
accordance with NSS,
RPG and national policy
Draft development plan:
Strategy section covers
NSS and RPG’s
Statement of how it fits in
with RPG
Regional authority:
Assesses fit with
RPG and makes
comments
Comments considered by County
Comments are examined and the draft plan is adjusted
if necessary to ensure that it is in accordance with RPG
and NSS
County City and Town Development Plans 1
• Made every 6 years by the elected councillors (majority
vote) in the area on the recommendation of the council
manager
• Contain overall development objectives relating to the
control and use of buildings, preservation, conservation
etc.
• Includes objectives for development/renewal of obsolete
areas, provision of water, sewage, waste recovery and
disposal, and roads
• Zoning of lands for particular purposes
County City and Town Development Plans 2
• Each county and city prepare a development plan every
6 years based on national and regional strategic
priorities
• Notice published in newspapers
• During review owners of property listed for
preservation/rights of way are informed
• Draft plan put on public display for comment
• If significantly changed amended plan then goes on
display
• Plan voted on by the elected members of the county
Town Plans
• Planning Authorities must prepare a Local Area Plan for
areas which are:
- designated a town in the last census
- have a population greater than 2000 people
• Local Area Plans must be consistent with the land use
policies and objectives identified within the County
Development Plan
• Very similar in format to city and county plans
County Development Boards
• Representatives from Local government (County), local
development boards, state agencies (e.g. IDA) and
social partners (trade union, employers and voluntary
organisations).
• Purpose is to bring more coherence to the planning and
delivery of local services i.e. an integrated approach to
both state and local development services at local level.
• Prepare a 10 year strategy for economic, social and
cultural development for its area
