PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 1.1. Constraints Study Report 2002 Background Several studies and plans are referred to, including the National Roads Needs Study 1998, the National Development Plan 2000-2006 and the Meath County Development Plan 2001, with particular reference to the objective in the Development Plan to construct a bypass around Slane. Previous studies are referred to. A feasibility report prepared in 1985 recommended a skew bridge not including a bypass of the village. A further feasibility study in 1990 deemed that the 1985 scheme would not address the problems of the steep gradients. It identified three possible bypass routes, two to the west and one to the east, and concluded that the eastern route would be most suitable on grounds of limited visual impact on the village, minimisation of land severance and cost. Short-term safety measures were implemented following a report in 2001. The existing road network is described with particular reference to the steep gradients on the approach to the bridge, the poor safety record of this section of the N2 road and problems at the N2/N51 intersection in the village. Identification of Constraints For the purposes of this study, a Route Study Area was identified, comprising a broad curving band of about 1.25 kilometres in width which crosses the N2 road north and south of the village.

  • Chapter 4, Environment and Heritage, of the Monaghan County Development Plan
    Monaghan County Development Plan 2013-2019 Chapter 6 Infrastructure and Services 6.1 Introduction One of the strategic aims of the Development Plan is to facilitate the development of County Monaghan through the provision of essential infrastructure and services, while minimising the adverse impacts of development on the environment. This aim provides the framework for the formulation of the policies and objectives set out in this section. Improved national, regional, county and local infrastructure and services are essential to improve the economic competitiveness and quality of life within the county. Basic infrastructural development and investment in areas such as roads, water, energy, waste and telecommunications are required to promote balanced and sustainable economic development and to improve the quality of the built and natural environment, throughout the county. Investment in infrastructure is heavily reliant upon investment at national government level. Investment in infrastructure is channelled through the National Development Plan 2007-2013, with an overall investment of €184 billion in five infrastructural sectors - national roads, public transport, environmental infrastructure, sustainable energy, housing and health facilities. However this level of investment is now uncertain given the fiscal constraints upon the state over the coming years. County Monaghan, in common with other border counties has a deficient infrastructure. The road network, which is the only mode of transport in the county, requires additional upgrading at all levels. However, the Waste Management Strategy has resulted in major reductions in waste levels, while the county’s drinking water requirements for the medium term have been secured. It is the aim of this Plan to improve infrastructure for the county so that it will be an attractive location for new commercial and residential development.
