Chapter:
The Draft Westmeath County Development Plan 2021-2027, has zoned the subject lands as Consolidation Site and the purpose of this Land Use Zoning is: CPO 15.5 Strengthen and consolidate existing settlements by encouraging the development of infill and brownfield lands through providing for a range of uses including residential development, retail, commercial and community uses.
Whilst we welcome and respect the planning authority's consideration of the subject lands for a development zoning to strengthen and consolidate the existing settlement of Killucan, we consider and respectfully suggest that a more appropriate zoning in the circumstances would be zone the subject lands as Proposed Residential.
