    18.189 Dear Secretary, I wish to propose the following for consideration by your committee when drawing up the new Sligo County Council electoral areas. I have endeavoured to keep my suggestions within the terms of reference outlined and within the social and economic ties areas have within County Sligo. Summary of my proposals are as follows: Electoral Area Population Number of members Variance Tubbercurry – West Sligo Municipal District 14,597 4 +1% Ballymote Municipal District 17,539 5 -3.7% Sligo Strandhill LEA 18,122 5 -0.4% Sligo North LEA 15,277 4 +4.9% Total 65,535 18 +1.8% Tubbercurry West Sligo Municipal District: Population 14,597 = 4 Seats = +1% Variance from terms of reference This configuration gives an almost 50-50 divide either side of the Ox Mountains which will in turn lend itself to a more democratic and equal local electoral area.

Ballymote Municipal District: Population 17,539 = 5 Seats = -3.7% Variance from terms of reference There are a number of small urban settlements within this LEA and I have included a hinterland around each of Collooney, Ballisodare, Riverstown and Ballymote to more accurately reflect the social and economic movements within this area. Ballintogher East, Ballintogher West, Ballysadare East, Ballysadare West, Collooney, Aghanagh, Annagh, Ballymote, Ballynakill, Ballynashee, Bricklieve, Carrickbanagher, Coolaney, Coolavin, Cuilmore, Drumcolumb, Drumfin, Drumrat, Kilfree, Killadoon, Killaraght, Kilmactranny, Kilshalvy, Lakeview, Lisconny, Riverstown, Shancough, Temple, Templevanny, Toomore.
  • Introduction

    Introduction

    INTRODUCTION 1.1 Under the Local Government (Planning and Development) Acts, each Planning Authority is obliged to prepare a Development Plan for its functional area and review this Development Plan every five years. The Development Plan is the core document of the planning and development process. It presents Sligo County Council’s short to medium term view of the future development of the county and underpins the Council’s overall objectives of promoting and facilitating development, conserving the environment and achieving optimum use of resources. The Development Plan provides a framework for the physical development of the county and allows for sustainable, co-ordinated and orderly growth which respects the county’s natural, built and heritage resources. This County Development Plan reviews and updates the previous County Development Plan adopted by Sligo County Council in 1985. It takes account of the major developments that have occurred since 1985 in terms of population and economic trends, physical infrastructure, growth patterns and social deprivation. It recognises and sets out physical development objectives aimed at redressing the enduring problems of rural depopulation and disadvantage, dereliction, sporadic housing in scenic areas and service deficiencies. Every effort has been made to incorporate significant changes in legislation, Departmental guidelines, European Union directives and socio-economic factors impacting upon the development process; the intention is to present a concise, document which guides and informs the achievement of sustainable development1. Sligo County Council will have regard to the aims of Local Agenda 21 in the formulation and implementation of policies contained within the Development Plan2. Sligo County Council is committed to assisting the community in promoting environmental education, supporting local development group projects, providing local environmental information and engaging in public consultation procedures and partnerships.

  • 3. County Sligo – Settlement Strategy

    3. County Sligo – Settlement Strategy

    3. County Sligo – Settlement Strategy 3.1 Growth model This section expands on the core aims of the Development Plan by setting out a settlement strategy for the urban and rural parts of the County. The settlement strategy draws on the RPGs and Sligo Sub-Regional Development Strategy 2001-2021. That Strategy, prepared in 2001, anticipated Sligo’s designation as a Gateway City prior to the publication of the NSS. Having reconsidered popula- tion forecasts in light of the NSS, the Council is eager to provide a proactive basis for the future development and regeneration of the County, developing Sligo into a city with a critical mass that is necessary to sustain the County and the North-Western Region into the future. This involves aiming towards a long-term, strategic population horizon of between 50,000 and 80,000 people over the next 20 to 30 years (a pace of development similar to that experienced in Galway over the past several decades). Such a population horizon should be a strategic reference point for actions at the day-to-day level, which would ordinarily be driven by providing for popula- tion growth based on past performance. Therefore, the approach taken in this Development Plan, is not a predict and provide one, but rather a plan → monitor → manage approach that ensures that Sligo can reach its Gateway status, with adjustments to land use zoning occurring during the preparation of subsequent local area plans and other land use plans for settlements throughout the County. In adopting a proactive approach to development in line with NSS projections, the Council has de- cided to pursue faster growth than was originally anticipated in the Sub-Regional Development Strat- egy 2001-2021.

AGE OF ROCKS: Precambrian; Devonian to Carboniferous, Paleogene Streedagh Point and Ben Bulben Lower Carboniferous limestones with the isolated mountain of Ben Bulben in the distance. This was carved by ice sheets as they moved past during the last Ice Age. 2 COUNTY GEOLOGY OF IRELAND: Sligo Geological Map of County Sligo Pale Purple: Precambrian Dalradian rocks; Pale yellow: Precambrian Quartzite; Green: Silurian sediments; Red: Granite; Beige:Beige:Beige: Devonian sandstones; Blue gray:Blue gray: Lower Carboniferous sandstones; Light blue: Lower Carboniferous limestone; Brown:Brown:Brown: Upper Carboniferous shales. Geological history The oldest rocks in the county form a strip of low hills extending along the south side of Lough Gill westwards past Collooney towards the Ox Mountains, with a small patch on Rosses Point north-west of Sligo town. They are schists and gneisses, metamorphosed from 1550 million year old [Ma] sedimentary rocks by the heat and pressure of two episodes of mountain building around 605 Ma and 460 Ma. Somewhat younger rocks, around 600 Ma, form the main massif of the Ox Mountains in the west of the county. They include schists and quartzites, once sedimentary rocks that have been less severely metamorphosed than the older rocks further east. In the far south of the county, around Lough Gara and the Curlew Mountains, are found a great thickness of conglomerates (pebble beds) and sandstones, with some layers rich in volcanic ash and fragments of lava.
