1 Donegal County Council N56 Coolboy to Kilmacrennan DONEGAL COUNTY COUNCIL N56 COOLBOY TO KILMACRENNAN COMPULSORY PURCHASE ORDER, 2014 WRITTEN STATEMENT OF KILLIAN SMITH, EXECUTIVE PLANNER, DONEGAL COUNTY COUNCIL I am an Executive Planner with Donegal County Council and am familiar with the nature of the development proposed under Donegal County Council N56 Coolboy to Kilmacrennan Compulsory Purchase Order, 2014. The purpose of this report is to assess the proposed road improvement and realignment works for the N56 Coolboy to Kilmacrennan Scheme in the context of the current planning policy framework at National, Regional and County levels. The road design is based on a Type 2 Single Carriageway Standard. A designated shared use pedestrian/cycleway facility is to be provided along the entire length of the scheme on both sides. The following outlines the planning context of the proposed development. Strategic Planning Policy National Spatial Strategy 2002-2020 The National Spatial Strategy (NSS) is a twenty year planning framework designed to achieve a better balance of social, economic and physical development and population growth between regions in Ireland and to assist in the implementation of the National Development Plan. In relation to the Border Region the NSS has identified a number of key areas including improvements in infrastructure links between areas in the Border Region and other regions. Infrastructure and Capital Investment 2012-16: (Medium Term Exchequer Framework) The National Development Plan 2007-2013 was superseded by the above document published by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. This framework prioritises continued investment in the national 1 primary road networks specified therein to include completion of specified major inter-urban routes, progression of the Atlantic Corridor, the N11, the cross-border route linking Dublin to Derry and Donegal and other strategic routes. In addition to the funding provided, the NRA will also be authorized to progress a limited number of improvement schemes, together with some relatively low-cost targeted improvements on the national secondary network, where road safety is an issue, and in tourist areas. The Coolboy to Kilmacrennan N56 Road Improvement and Realignment Scheme is intended to, inter alia, address serious road safety issues on the existing road and to provide better and safer access to tourist areas and thus it is considered that the proposed N56 Road Scheme from Coolboy to Kilmacrennan is consistent with National Infrastructure and Capital Investment policies. Regional Planning Policy Border Regional Authority Planning Guidelines (2010-2022) Although no specific reference is made to a N56 Road Realignment Scheme in the BRA Planning Guidelines the guidelines do recognise the need to provide effective connectivity within the Region and the need to address infrastructure deficits if the Region is to compete with other regions as well as Northern Ireland. It is considered that the proposed N56 improvement and realignment works are consistent with the Border Regional Authority Planning Guidelines County Planning Policy County Donegal Development Plan 2012-2018 (As Varied on the 22nd of July 2013) (Note: Variation No.2 to the County Donegal Development Plan 2012 – 2018, further to a Ministerial Direction in accordance with Section 31 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended), is currently inoperative) 2 Chapter 1 Introduction and Context Part 1.5 Key Strategic Objectives The first chapter of the current County Development Plan incorporates key strategic objectives to deliver the proper planning and sustainable development of the County. Key strategic objectives stated in this chapter of the Development Plan that particularly support the proposed N56 Coolboy to Kilmacrennan Road Scheme and with which the proposed road scheme is consistent include: “IC-O-2 To strengthen infrastructure, business and innovation linkages within the County and in the Cross Border context, with the other Gateways, hubs, and towns in the Border Region Dublin, and elsewhere in the Country and further afield.” “IC-O-7 To address existing infrastructural and service deficiencies throughout the County such as the transportation network, rail, water supply and wastewater facilities, waste disposal, energy and communications networks, the provision of education, healthcare, retail, and a wide range of community based facilities.” This list of key strategic objectives is not exhaustive as the proposed road improvement and realignment works also effect the realisation of other objectives listed in the first chapter of the County Development Plan. The proposed road improvement and realignment project is consistent with and does not in any way contravene any of the policies or objectives listed in the Development Plan. Chapter 2 Core Strategy The County Donegal Development Plan 2012 – 2018 (As Varied on the 22nd of July 2013) incorporates a Core Strategy which delivers an overall strategy for the proper planning and sustainable development of the entire County of Donegal. This strategy sets out the strategic spatial planning framework for the County over a medium to longer term period and establishes a rationale which forms the underlying basis for developing planning objectives and policies. The Core Strategy, which includes a strategic framework for the management of population distribution, establishes an urban settlement hierarchy. In brief the settlement hierarchy is made up of 5 tiers. This hierarchy is focused on the role of the Letterkenny Gateway (Tier 1) as the primary driver of 3 growth in the County followed by a network of ‘Strategic Support Towns’ (Tier 2) which play an important role as self-sufficient service centres within the county with a projected managed growth in population. In addition the settlement hierarchy recognises the important role of a network of ‘Strong Towns and Villages’ (Tier 3) and promotes a consolidation approach in the distribution of management of population settlement patterns. Furthermore a group of ‘Small Villages’ (Tier 4) are identified in the county which have a more limited range and number of local services and where there are identifiable infrastructural and environmental limitations to significant growth. As a result a ‘protect and consolidate’ approach has been engaged in the distribution of population targets within ‘Small Villages’. Tier 5 is ‘Rural Areas’ where it is an objective to protect the environment and ensure rural vitality. Within the urban settlement hierarchy, as set out in the Core Strategy, Dungloe is considered to be a Strategic Support Town (Tier 2). Also within the urban settlement hierarchy, as set out in the Core Strategy, Bunbeg-Derrybeg, Falcarragh, Glenties, Ardara, Creeslough and Dunfanaghy are considered to be Strong Towns and Villages (Tier 3). The key objectives in the Core Strategy Chapter of the Development Plan which would be contributed to by this N56 Coolboy to Kilmacrennan Scheme are: “CS-O-6 To align investment in infrastructure with the priorities for growth established in the settlement hierarchy unless in specific instances, environmental considerations dictate otherwise.” “CS-O-7 To prioritise key strategic connections between the Gateway and Strategic Support Towns together with links to important peripheral transport corridors serving the rest of the County.” “CS-O-8 To co-ordinate the development of key routes with the other relevant authorities so as to result in quality strategic connections to Donegal Airport, Killybegs Harbour, City of Derry Airport, Lisahally Port, Northern Ireland rail network, Belfast airports and ports, Dublin airport and ports and to the other Gateways including links to the Western Corridor1.” 1 The western corridor is an extension of the Atlantic Corridor and extends from the Gateway of Sligo up to the linked Gateway of Letterkenny – Derry. 4 Chapter 3 Economic Development The proposed N56 Coolboy to Kilmacrennan Scheme does not contravene any of the policies in Chapter 3 of the County Donegal Development Plan (As Varied 22nd of July 2013) and would contribute positively to the economic competitiveness of the rural hinterland, the Gateway Town of Letterkenny, and the towns and villages, all served by this national secondary road. Chapter 4 Infrastructure 4.1 Transportation Strategy (As Varied on the 22nd of July 2013) Donegal County Council made a Variation to the County Donegal Development Plan 2012-2018 in accordance with Section 13 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended). The Variation took effect on 22nd July 2013. In January 2012 the Department of Environment, Community and Local Government published its ‘Spatial Planning and National Roads: Guidelines for Planning Authorities’ (DoECLG Guidelines). The guidelines set out planning policy considerations relating to development affecting national primary and secondary roads, including motorways and associated junctions, outside the 50-60 kph speed limit zones for cities, towns and villages. These guidelines were issued under section 28 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) and planning authorities and An Bord Pleanála are required to have regard to the guidelines in the performance of their functions under the Planning Acts. This requirement includes the function, by specific reference to the necessity in the guidelines, of the making of local area plans or development plans by planning authorities. In this regard, i.e. to take cognisance of the above mentioned ‘Spatial Planning and National Roads: Guidelines

In writing this thesis, I hope that I have, in some way, managed to explain the reasons for this cultural diversity.

  • Happy Christmas and Good Wishes for the Coming Year 2002
    THE Happy Christmas and Good Wishes for the Coming Year 2002 Welcome to our first edition of The Creeslough View, which you will find is filled with memorabilia, nostalgia, heritage and local history, - the story of life presented by members of our community. The purpose of the Creeslough View is to give the locals an opportunity to document stories, poems, and old photographs to remind us now and again of our past on which we build our future. Because so much happens throughout the year in Creeslough it was felt it would be a shame not to document it. It is hoped the Creeslough View will enable smaller clubs and voluntary organisations to show off their achievements throughout the year. The social history of this locality has changed dramatically, but all the more is the need to record and acknowledge for tomorrow’s world, the spirit and common good, the close knit and dependence on others as a community, and the many characters who sustained it during the difficult times. We would like to thank each and every one of you that contributed to the Creeslough View. For the photographs and the stories, and a special thankyou to the sponsors for their generous support. I must also thank John Doak for all his work in preparing the material for printing. Because we received so much material for this edition, it was impossible to include it all. But rest assured it will be printed in the next edition next year. Again happy Christmas and thank you for purchasing the Creeslough View Declan Breslin 1 THE Muckish Mountain BY CHARLIE GALLAGHER "Muckish proud with her Muckish today has the same end a sand quarry.

Problems undoubtedly exist, but now that the village is included in a renewal scheme, hopefully these can be overcome and a fresh impetus be given to the Tidy Towns effort by all the community. Thanks are due to the Committee for returning the completed questionnaire/work programme and for the excellent map. WILDLIFE AND NATURAL AMENITIES The development of the banks at the Lennon and Lurgy rivers should be considered in the future to enhance the habitats of wildlife in the Kilmacrennan catchment, a nature trail could be considered in the future. LANDSCAPING The tree planting at the graveyard and the school is very good. However, the grass area where the trees are planted at the school needs attention. There are lovely flower boxes at the school. The tree planting at the Church of Ireland is commendable. There is a very nice display of tree planting on the right hand side of the Letterkenny approach. The entrance to Rosemount Estate is lovely with its flower beds and stone walls.

File No S.2791 Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENTBY BERNARDMcGINLEY, Creeslough, CO. Donegal. I was born in Creeslough, County Donegal, in 1894, where I received my early education and lived all wy life. In 1917 I was asked by James McNulty to join the Irish Volunteer organisation. McNulty had been in America prior to this time and was associated with an Irish national movement there and I understand he was asked to return to Ireland and organise units of the Irish Volunteers and also to get Sinn Féin Clubs going in the area. After my conversation with McNulty, and having discussed the matter with some of my pals, a number of us decided to join the Irish Volunteers. I also became a member of the local Sinn Féin Club. Although I was aware of the existence of the I.R.B. (Irish Republican Brotherhood) organisation, I was not asked to join and consequently never became a member. At this period and up to 1919 the Volunteers were organised on a Companyor Parish basis. In 1918 I was appointed Lieutenant in the Creeslough Company. Just about this time we were ordered to prepare for a General Election. The Sinn Féin organisation had selected Mr. Joseph Sweeney from Burtonport as their candidate for West Donegal.
