Chapter 11: Land use zoning objectives
11.1 Background
The purpose of zoning is to indicate the land use objectives for all the lands within the County. Zoning aspires to promote the orderly development of the County by eliminating potential conflicts between incompatible land uses and to establish an efficient basis for investment in public infrastructure and facilities.
Zoning policy must also have regard to the strategic policies underlying the Draft Development Plan. These include the principles of sustainable development and of consolidation, the integration of land use and transportation planning, and the maintenance of the quality of life within the County as a whole.
Each land use zoning objective has a supporting Vision which elaborates on the zoning objective and sets the context for the type of development which would be acceptable. Uses which are neither ‘Permitted in Principle’ nor ‘Not Permitted’ will be assessed in terms of their contribution towards the achievement of the Zoning Objective and Vision.
The technical guidance notes to be used in the context of the adopted use classes are found in Appendix 4.
Secure the implementation of the Zoning Objective and Vision applied to each area of the County. |
11.2 Local Area Plans
There is a requirement to prepare Local Area Plans on lands which are identified on the Development Plan maps. The preparation of Local Area Plans will provide an essential and important means for the implementation of the Council’s sustainable development and land use objectives for the County and will facilitate the provision of the necessary social and physical infrastructure. The preparation of Local Area Plans will enable a high degree of flexibility in the application of zoning and planning policies and assist in the application of the Council’s policies in relation to:
- Ensuring appropriate residential densities, especially where near to public transport links, with a requirement for a high standard of layout design and a mix of housing types.
- Providing for industrial and commercial uses to a high standard of design.
- Providing for the implementation of the Council’s objectives in relation to Green Infrastructure which seeks to address provision for biodiversity, parks and open space, sustainable water management, landscape character, and architectural and archaeological heritage in a coherent and integrated manner.
- Considering the feasibility of facilitating specific uses to provide appropriate employment opportunities.
- Providing for appropriate, viable and sustainable uses of the Greenbelts.
- Providing for the development of land to be phased with the provision of infrastructural and social facilities.
- Ensuring an appropriate mix of social, affordable and private housing.
- Providing for the development of viable rural communities.
Local Area Plans will be prepared in co-operation with relevant stakeholders to actively secure the implementation of these plans and the achievement of the objectives as indicated.
Prepare and implement Local Area Plans where required. |
11.3 Masterplans
A number of Masterplans will be prepared during the Draft Plan period. These are indicated on the Draft Plan Maps. The Masterplans will assist in achieving quality developments in terms of, inter alia, urban design, structure, delivery of community/amenity facilities and permeability. Subsequent planning applications will be required to adhere to the approved Masterplans. Masterplans will be subject to a public consultation process and presentation to the Elected Members of the Planning Authority.
Each Masterplan shall consist of a written statement and a plan or series of plans indicating the objectives in such detail, as may be determined by the Planning Authority for the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
Prepare and implement Masterplans where required. |
11.4 Transitional Zonal Areas
The Draft Development Plan maps show the boundaries between zones. While the zoning objectives and control standards indicate the different uses permitted in each zone, it is important to avoid abrupt transitions in scale and use in the boundary areas of adjoining land use zones. In dealing with development proposals in these contiguous transitional zonal areas, it is necessary to avoid developments that would be detrimental to the amenities of the more environmentally sensitive zone. For instance, in zones abutting residential areas or abutting residential development within predominantly mixed use zones, particular attention must be paid to the use, scale and density of development proposals in order to protect the amenities of residential property.
Have regard to development in adjoining zones, in particular more environmentally sensitive zones, in assessing development proposals for lands in the vicinity of zoning boundaries. |
11.5 Non-Conforming Uses
Throughout the County there are uses which do not conform to the zoning objective of the area. These are uses which were in existence on 1st October 1964, or which have valid planning permissions, or which are unauthorized but have exceeded the time limit for enforcement proceedings. Reasonable intensification of extensions to and improvement of premises accommodating these uses will generally be permitted within the existing curtilage of the development and subject to normal planning criteria.
Generally, permit reasonable intensification of, extensions to and improvement of premises accommodating nonconforming uses, subject to normal planning criteria. |
11.6 Ancillary Uses
Planning permission sought for developments which are ancillary to the parent use, i.e. they rely on the permitted parent use for their existence and rationale, should be considered on their merits irrespective of what category the ancillary development is listed in the ‘Zoning Objectives, Vision and Use Classes’ Section of this Chapter.
Ensure that developments ancillary to the parent use of a site are considered on their merits. |

ZONING OBJECTIVE “GB” GREENBELT
Objective: Protect and provide for a Greenbelt.
Vision: Create a rural/urban Greenbelt zone that permanently demarcates the boundary (i) between the rural and urban areas, or (ii) between urban and urban areas. The role of the Greenbelt is to check unrestricted sprawl of urban areas, to prevent coalescence of settlements, to prevent countryside encroachment and to protect the setting of towns and/or villages. The Greenbelt is attractive and multifunctional, serves the needs of both the urban and rural communities, and strengthens the links between urban and rural areas in a sustainable manner. The Greenbelt will provide opportunities for countryside access and for recreation, retain attractive landscapes, improve derelict land within and around towns, secure lands with a nature conservation interest, and retain land in agricultural use. The zoning objective will have the consequence of achieving the regeneration of undeveloped town areas by ensuring that urban development is directed towards these areas.

ZONING OBJECTIVE “LC” LOCAL CENTRE
Objective: Protect, provide for and/or improve local centre facilities.
Vision: Provide a mix of local community and commercial facilities for the existing and developing communities of the County. The aim is to ensure local centres contain a range of community, recreational and retail facilities, including medical/ dental surgeries and childcare facilities, at a scale to cater for both existing residential development and zoned undeveloped lands, as appropriate, at locations which minimise the need for use of the private car and encourage pedestrians, cyclists and the use of public transport.

ZONING OBJECTIVE “WD” WAREHOUSING AND DISTRIBUTION
Objective: Provide for distribution, warehouse, storage and logistics facilities which require good access to a major road network within a good quality environment.
Vision: Facilitate logistics and warehouse type activity including storage, distribution and associated re-packaging of goods and products. Distribution and storage uses have specific transportation requirements as they can generate considerable traffic volumes and hence benefit from being located within a purpose built, well designated environment which is well connected to the strategic road network and allows for the efficient movement of goods.
