Chapter 13: Land Use Zoning
13.1 Introduction
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 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 7.
Objective ZO1 – Zoning Objectives and Vision Secure the implementation of the zoning objective and vision applied to each area of the County. |
13.2 Transitional Zonal Areas
The 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.
Objective ZO2 - Transitional Zonal Areas 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. |
1.3 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 un-authorised 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 subject to normal planning criteria.
Objective ZO3 – Non-Confirming Uses Generally, permit reasonable intensification of, extensions to and improvement of premises accommodating non-conforming uses, subject to normal planning criteria. |
13.4 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.
Objective ZO4 – Ancillary Uses Ensure that developments ancillary to the parent use of a site are considered on their merits. |
13.5 Zoning Objectives, Vision and Use Classes

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.

Vision
Protect and promote established villages within the rural landscape where people can settleand have access to community services, including remote work hubs. The villages are areas within the rural landscape where housing needs can be satisfied with minimal harm to the countryside and surrounding environment.
The villages will serve their rural catchment, provide local services and smaller scale rural enterprises. Levels of growth will be managed through approved land use plans to ensure that a critical mass for local services is encouraged without providing for growth beyond local need and unsustainable commuting patterns.
