Retail Strategy 36 2 of 46 Retail Strategy for the Greater Carlow Graiguecullen Urban Area Urb Town Planning INTRODUCTION Carlow County Council, Carlow Town Council and Laois County Council have prepared a Joint Spatial Plan for the Greater Carlow Graiguecullen Urban Area 2012 -2018. An Issues paper was published in April 2011 which sought comment from stakeholders and public alike on the key issues and challenges for the area. This Retail Strategy has been prepared to review and update the 2009 County Carlow Retail Strategy and informed the preparation of the new Joint Spatial Plan. The requirement to undertake a retail strategy derives from the Retail Planning Guidelines 2005. These 2005 Guidelines are currently under review, and the Draft Retail Planning Guidelines 2011 direct at para. 1.2 that “Pending finalisation of the draft Guidelines, planning authorities should take account of the principles and practices outlined herein both, in their forward planning and development management policies and practice, and in particular should begin to apply the revised retail caps.” However, with regard to joint or multi-authority retail strategy preparation, it advises that prior to adoption of the new Guidelines, Planning Authorities shall revert to the established 2005 Guidelines for the purposes of plan preparation The preparation of this Retail Strategy is guided by Section 46 of the Retail Planning Guidelines 2005 which directs that for this area it is necessary to provide a general statement of strategic intentions and future policy.

  • Early Medieval Archaeology Project (EMAP)
    i The Early Medieval Archaeology Project (EMAP): Project Report 2012 The Archaeology of Industrial Activity on Secular Sites in Early Medieval Ireland, AD 400-1100. By Thomas Kerr, Maureen Doyle, Matt Seaver, Finbar McCormick & Aidan O'Sullivan Early Medieval Archaeology Project (EMAP 2) Report 6:1 December 2012 Report submitted for: Irish National Strategic Archaeological Research (INSTAR) programme 2012 Ref: AR03534 ii Forward EMAP Report 6.1 deals with the archaeological evidence for industrial activity on secular sites in early medieval Ireland. It is comprised of four main sections. The first section provides a general overview of the creation of the report, including general distribution maps and histograms. The archaeological evidence for industrial activity is covered in fuller detail in sections two and three. Section 2, prepared by Matt Seaver, examines the evidence in greater depth for specific industrial activity, namely iron-working, non-ferrous metal-working, glass- working, and antler/bone-working. This is accompanied by comprehensive tables outlining the site evidence for the major industrial activities. Section 3, prepared by Maureen Doyle, looks at the production of items of personal ornamentation and decoration. Rather than adopting a single-material approach, this section examines the production of different types of artefact. Thus ‘pins’ are discussed together, whether they were made of bone, antler, bronze or iron, since they performed a similar function. The final section consists of a site gazetteer of industrial activity in early medieval Ireland. This includes over 300 secular sites, and contains substantial tables outlining the evidence for craft activity, as well as the types of artefacts recovered from the site.
