(Athlone West) Local Area Plan 2016-2022 Page iv PART I: INTRODUCTION AND CONTEXT Chapter 1: Introduction 1 INTRODUCTION The main aim of this Local Area Plan is to set out a framework for the physical development of the Monksland/Bellanamullia (Athlone West) area so that growth may take place in a coordinated, sensitive and orderly manner, while at the same time being sensitive to the environment. Policies and objectives outlined in this LAP are in addition to the policies and objectives contained in the Roscommon County Development Plan (RCDP) 2014-2020. It is acknowledged that not all strategic objectives will be achieved during the six year LAP timeframe; however it is important to identify these objectives to ensure commitment to achieving them in the longer term. In the interests of clarity, any reference to a goal, aim, policy and objective in the text of this Local Area Plan, shall be construed as an ‘objective’ of this Plan for the purposes of the Planning and Development Acts 2000-2014 and the Planning and Development Regulations 2001-2015. 1.1 STATUTORY CONTEXT This LAP has been prepared in accordance with Sections 18 to 20 of the Planning and Development Acts 2000-2014, and replaces the Monskland/Bellanamullia (Athlone West) Local Area Plan 2010 - 2016. It is required to be consistent with the regional planning guidelines for the area as well as the policies and objectives of the RCDP and its Core Strategy, which set out the overarching development strategy for the County. The LAP should be read in conjunction with the RCDP 2014 - 2020. Where any provisions of the LAP conflict with the provisions of the RCDP, the RCDP will take precedence. 1.2 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS 1.2.1 Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is the formal systematic evaluation of the likely significant environmental effects of implementing the LAP and must be carried out prior to the adoption of any plan or programme. SEA is undertaken in accordance with the EU SEA Directive 2001/42/EC. The findings of the SEA are outlined in the Environmental Report published alongside the LAP. 1.2.2 Appropriate Assessment (AA) An Appropriate Assessment is an assessment, based on best scientific knowledge, by a person with ecological expertise, of the potential impacts of any plan or project on the conservation objectives of any Natura 2000 site i.e. Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) or Special Protection Areas (SPAs). All land use plans proposed under the Planning and Development Acts 2000 -2015, including Local Area Plans, must be screened for any potential impact on areas designated as Natura 2000 sites. Appropriate Assessment is carried out under Article 6(3) and 6(4) of the Habitats Directive. A Stage 2 Appropriate Assessment report has been prepared for the Monksland/Bellanamullia LAP 2016 – 2022 and is published alongside the LAP.

The County Development Plan is a document that sets out the overall strategy and vision for the proper planning and sustainable development of the county over the 6 year plan period. The Plan will be prepared in the context of the framework of national and regional strategies and guidelines, and must be prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended). The Plan consists of a written statement and accompanying maps. The County Development Plan is a material consideration in making decisions on future planning applications. WHY GET INVOLVED?
