Louth Dear Sir With reference to the above, and further to your invitation to the public to make submissions in respect of the Draft County Development Plan 2021 – 2027 for County Louth, please note that we have been appointed by Mr Peter Collier to make this submission on his behalf. The following submission relates to lands located to the Southern outskirts of the village of Termonfeckin and its suggested proposal to rezone the site for Residential development. Situated within a 15 min walk of the Village centre and stradled on the existing boundary development line the site has excellent road frontage along the R167 and enormous potential to provide vital land zoning provisions to improve and enhance the Village and surrounding environments. With the Site Ideally placed to direct access of existing infrastructure and services a part zoning is proposed is recommended to facilitate development such as one off housing or Cul de Sac development. Residential Housing – Low Density There is a definite concern for the residential aspect in Termonfeckin in that the Variety is singular to the Termonfeckin road end of the village. At present there is one housing development selling houses in Termonfeckin which leads to non variety and no competition.

    Frank Pentony Director of Services Development Plan Review Forward Planning Unit Louth County Council Town Hall, Crowe Street, Dundalk, Co Louth. A91 W20C 25th November 2019 RE: Louth County Development Plan Review Submission on behalf of Gerry Kelly and Maire Milner Dear Sir/Madam, With reference to the above, and further to your invitation to the public to make submissions in respect of the making of a new development plan for County Louth, please note that we have been appointed by Gerry Kelly and Maire Milner to make this submission on their behalf. Please find attached contact details for our client separately as directed. Background Our clients live in Clogherhead, and they are active members of the community there. In the past year Louth County Council, with a local community organisation as a co-sponsor have attempted to secure funding for a public walkway and cycleway across and through my clients lands. The effect of this would have been to annex the summit and a sizeable portion of land. Our clients have a keen interest in the preservation of the Headland of Clogherhead for future generations, and in the responsible planning and development of the area. The Headland is a unique and unspoilt area with a timeless and peaceful quality, associated with a fragile habitat designated for the highest level of conservation. The beauty and timelessness of the Headland is renowned: this balance is vulnerable and if upset would be lost for ever. Key Issues On behalf of our client, we would respectfully suggest that Louth Co Co liaise with the local landowners and members of the community and develop a set of objectives and policies in relation to Clogherhead, Village, Beach, Pier and surrounding area that, along with usual planning considerations takes account of the following matters: • Land ownership, and property rights • Protection of the SAC and SPA • Protection of ecology and habitats • Health and safety of walkers and users of any amenities to be provided.

  • LCA Document Recompiled
    Louth County Council LANDSCAPE CHARACTER ASSESSMENT DECEMBER 2002 Landscape Character Assessment 2nd December 2002 Landscape Character Assessment Background Earlier Development Plans designated some areas of the County with the perception that landscapes are romantic in character. Definitions like, sublime, outstanding, high scenic quality etc have been used to categorise particular areas in this and other counties. In 1977, the then Foras Forbartha published an inventory of outstanding landscapes in Ireland. In that document three such areas were identified in Louth: (a) Carlingford Mountains – Flurrybridge to Grange Cross (b) Clogherhead – from the village to the port (c) Boyne Valley – a small part of which is in County Louth. Outside of these areas the general description would have been rural or farmland. In the publication “Landscape and Landscape assessment – Consultation Draft Guidelines for Planning Authorities” published by the D.O.E. in June 2000, a new format is proposed. The guidelines suggest that the proposed method of assessment allows for a much more proactive approach to Landscape. The new policy shall have regard to the following: The National Sustainable Development Strategy. Regional Planning Policies (which to date have been economic in nature). Louth is in the Border Region, along with Monaghan, Cavan, Leitrim, Sligo and Donegal. Areas of Development potential (existing towns and Development Centres). Strategies for newer forms of development, such as wind farms and telecommunications masts. Capacity of the landscape to sustain development. New roads and housing. Forestry. New agri-environmental schemes. National Spatial Strategy. It is proposed that the County should be divided into a number of landscape character areas.
