Chapter 2 Tullamore – Midlands Linked Gateway Town Tullamore Town and Environs Development Plan 2010-2016 Chapter 2 Tullamore – Midlands Linked Gateway Town Chapter 2 Tullamore – Midlands Linked Gateway Town 2.0 Introduction This chapter looks at the background and context in which Tullamore has been designated as part of the Midlands Linked Gateway in conjunction with Athlone and Mullingar (refer to Map 2.1). The overall approach between Offaly Local Authorities and Westmeath Local Authorities in fostering a solid partnership to ensure the success of the Midlands Gateway is also outlined. A profile of the town’s physical and social infrastructure illustrates that Tullamore is well placed to contribute strongly and successful development of the Gateway, particularly in light of its location, accessibility, existing population and employment opportunities. Strategic Goals outlined at the end of the chapter look to continue ongoing efforts to contribute to the success of the Gateway and the Midland Region. 2.1 Background to Linked Gateway Status The National Spatial Strategy (NSS) 2002-2020 set out Government policy in relation to achieving balanced Regional Development in Ireland. The NSS is a planning framework aimed at achieving a better balance of social, economic, physical development and population growth between the Regions. Balanced Regional Development is a fundamental part of the strategy. In order to achieve this, the NSS identified Tullamore as a linked ‘Gateway’ along with Athlone and Mullingar (Westmeath). This designation builds on the town’s strategic and central location within the Midland Region of Ireland. The strategy indicates how each region will participate in the NSS and the principal messages within the NSS of particular relevance to the Midland Region can be summarised as follows: • The Region needs to boost its critical mass, become more self-sustaining and build on its central location, its proximity to Dublin, its quality of life and natural and cultural heritage attributes. • The Region needs to focus on the implementation of the linked gateway (Athlone, Tullamore, and Mullingar). • The role of the linked gateway needs to be partnered by a focus on the development and role of other significant towns in the Region. • The Region must benefit strongly from improving transport and communications infrastructure, improving the connectivity, cohesion and identity of the Region. • The vitality of rural communities should be maintained in tandem with a strengthened network of towns and villages. The Midland Regional Planning Guidelines (MRPG) issued in 2004, are designed to implement the provisions of the NSS by establishing a framework at a Regional level to further coordinate and integrate the Development Plans of Planning Authorities in the Region. The MRPGs set out a strategic approach to guide the planning and development of the Midlands Region. There are 4 key areas of focus: Building the Critical Mass of the Region – not only in terms of population but also of the regional economy, employment and education. Developing and maintaining the identity of the region. Connectivity to other regions. Balance between rural and urban areas. June 2010 Page 1 of 12 Tullamore Town and Environs Development Plan 2010-2016 Chapter 2 Tullamore – Midlands Linked Gateway Town The MRPGs identify key objectives for each of the above areas of focus but largely prescribe that much of the development, which is to take place in the Midland Region, should be centred on the Midlands ‘Gateway’ of Athlone, Tullamore and Mullingar. This linked gateway should be considered as a collective ‘driver for growth’ in the Midlands Region. These towns forming a strong, linked urban centre and ‘driver’ for the Midlands Region will provide that the Gateway will compete for development, for people, for jobs and for services at a national and international level. Population targets for the Midlands Gateway are set out in the current Midland Regional Planning Guidelines. Refer to Chapter 4, Section 4.8.1. This gives rise to distinctive challenges for Tullamore Town which are highlighted in Chapter 3. It is evident from both the NSS and the MRPGs that Tullamore is a crucial component of the Midlands Gateway. The role of Tullamore is seen as pivotal to balanced regional development. However, coupled with the approach to balanced regional development, is also the balanced development of County Offaly, where it must not be overlooked that Tullamore provides the bulk of employment and services in the county and sustains a large portion of the population of the county. 2.2 Midlands Gateway: Overall Approach by Offaly and Westmeath Local Authorities Building on the National Spatial Strategy, Regional Planning Guidelines and ongoing investment under the National Development Plan 2007-2013 (to implement strategic objectives for Midlands Linked Gateway), Offaly and Westmeath Local Authorities are working together and with other agencies and interests to maximise the development potential of the Midlands Linked Gateway. Partnership is vital to the success of the implementation of the provisions of the foregoing policy statements. Offaly and Westmeath Local Authorities are co-operating to ensure that the linked Gateway will have the critical mass of population, services and infrastructure, the complementary strengths and attractions and the dynamic leadership to compete with other gateways in Ireland. The Local Authorities agree that one of the key challenges that the Midlands region faces is generating self sustaining growth as opposed to commuter led growth which has happened in the past. This will be achieved through the following actions/measures: Building up a strong critical mass of population within the linked gateway at the heart of the region. Population targets for the Midlands Gateway are set out in the current Midland Regional Planning Guidelines. Refer to Chapter 4, Section 4.8.1. Harnessing the potential of the Midland Region’s third level knowledge and innovation infrastructure, including development of linkages with other regions third level facilities and to the enterprise sectors. Assisting the move towards a highly productive and diversified economic base with strong representation from the value added sectors including innovative property solutions such as a Strategic Development Zone within the Gateway. Improving the physical infrastructure of the towns in the Linked Gateway in preparation for their accelerated development including better roads and public transport links between the towns that will place the Gateway and the region at the heart of the physical territory of the state. Conserving the natural and cultural heritage of the region, its constituent counties and the linked gateway towns in particular, including where appropriate, integration with new development, where appropriate, in order to offer a high quality of life and a distinctive basis for tourism based enterprise. Ensuring that the development of the Gateway is effectively linked to other parts of the counties and the region overall through enhanced local transport and the complementary development of other towns, villages and rural areas. June 2010 Page 2 of 12 Tullamore Town and Environs Development Plan 2010-2016 Chapter 2 Tullamore – Midlands Linked Gateway Town 2.2.1 Strategic Development Framework for the Midland Gateway To energise the promotion and development of the Midlands Gateway, Offaly and Westmeath Local Authorities commissioned a Strategic Development Framework for the Midlands Gateway entitled – Developing a World Class Knowledge based Competitive Gateway. This report prepared by Indecon Consulting and published in 2006, represented a major step in strengthening collaboration between the Local Authorities. The report presents an effective strategic development framework for the linked Midland Gateway and forms the basis for the development of a world class, knowledge based and competitive Gateway. The strategy was designed to formulate and guide an integrated linked Gateway comprising Athlone, Tullamore and Mullingar together with other towns in the Region to achieve its potential as an internally competitive Gateway. The designation of the Midlands Gateway and, moreover its development, will provide the basis to develop a range of high quality employment and education opportunities with excellent accessibility and mobility. The strategy has also been formulated to ensure the availability of choice in residential, retail, leisure and tourist facilities based on the principle of quality of life and environmental enhancement. The report identified ten priority areas which must be addressed in order to build on the strengths and address identified weaknesses. The priority areas require progress to further implement policies and programmes to address the issues and guidance is given in the report also. The ten priority areas and their associated indicators include: June 2010 Page 3 of 12 Tullamore Town and Environs Development Plan 2010-2016 Chapter 2 Tullamore – Midlands Linked Gateway Town Looking to the findings and conclusions of the framework and subsequent implementation requirements, Offaly and Westmeath Local Authorities agree on the following three key implementation priorities for the Midlands Gateway: 1: The development of the Midlands Gateway will be driven forward by the relevant Local Authorities in a strategic and coordinated manner that clearly demonstrates vision, leadership and a regional perspective in vigorously implementing the concept. Specifically, the Local Authorities

    DURROW ABBEY, CO. OFFALY CONSERVATION PLAN September 2005 DURROW ABBEY CO. OFFALY CONSERVATION PLAN by HOWLEY HARRINGTON ARCHITECTS In association with Cunnane Stratton Reynolds CRDS Ltd & Dr Christopher Moriarty This conservation plan was commissioned by the Office of Public Works for Durrow Abbey and the surrounding thirty-one hectares of land acquired by the state in 2003. Durrow Abbey, Co. Offaly is located eight kilometers to the north of Tullamore on the N52 road to Kilbeggan. The site was occupied in the early medieval period by a monastery, founded by St. Columcille in the sixth century. An Augustinian priory and Anglo- Norman castle were subsequently established during the twelfth century. After the dissolution of the monasteries in the sixteenth century the lands of the monastery went into private ownership. Much of the historic fabric that survives today in the designed landscape dates from the eighteenth and nine- teenth centuries focused on the Gothic Revival mansion of Durrow Abbey House. The evidence of so many layers of occupation on the site from the sixth century to the present day has created an historic place of exceptional cultural significance. The study boundary for the purposes of this plan is the land acquired by the Irish state in December 2003, however, the wider historical demesne has also been analysed to provide a more complete context for the archaeology and landscape design. The conservation plan was undertaken between November 2004 and May 2005 and provides a series of policies to inform the future conservation and management of the site. The conservation plan team was led by Howley Harrington Architects with input from Cunnane Stratton Reynolds, landscape and planning consultants, Cultural Resource Development Services Ltd, archaeologists and Dr.

    Offaly County Council’s submission to NPF Issues and Choices stage March 2017. Offaly County Council Submission in response to the Issues and Choices consultation, March 2017 Co. Offaly occupies a central position in the Midlands with the M6 just to the north, the M7 to the south, busy rail lines to Dublin at Tullamore and Portarlington, the River Shannon forming much of the county’s western border and the Grand Canal spanning the full width of the county. This submission could focus on Offaly’s assets alone, however if the NPF is to be a success, there needs to be intra-regional cohesion, coherence, co-operation and compliance, otherwise it will not deliver the benefits possible for Ireland. Therefore, this submission focuses largely on ‘big-ticket’ items, which could generally be delivered across the four counties of the Midland SPA with Offaly being a central element in these both spatially and in terms of taking a lead in some of the elements. The Midlands has the lowest GVA of any region (APJ for the Midlands). The Midlands, being home to 370,000 people should have potential to be more of an economic force.

    ATHLONE 2040 A REGIONAL CITY IN THE MIDLANDS Submission to Ireland 2040, Our Plan, National Planning Framework LONGFORDLONGFORD ROSCOMMON MULLINGAR BALLINASLOE ATHLONEATHLONE TULLAMORETULLAMORE BIRR March 2017 CONTACT DETAILS Future Analytics Consulting 23 Fitzwilliam Square (South) Dublin 2 [email protected] T: +353 (0)1 639 4836 www.futureanalytics.ie ATHLONE 2040, A REGIONAL CITY IN THE MIDLANDS FOREWORD The vision for the Irish Midlands is to optimise the opportunity that Athlone brings to the Region. As per the report of the NSS Expert Review Group, the Gateways are, to a great extent, self-selecting, including Athlone, given their extensive positive attributes. “We favour continuing with each of the National Gateways adopted in the first NSS with the exception of the linked Midlands Gateway. We propose instead that Athlone should be recognised as the Midlands Gateway, because the linked centres approach has not been sufficiently established, diffuses focus, and has proven to be of little substance or value in practice. To a great extent, the Gateways are self-selecting (and this is the case with Athlone) as they have the largest populations, the best transport connections, the highest levels of economic activity and the critical mass of key services such as education and health. They are the key to regional and national success”. Athlone will serve as a key enabler for a new Regional City benefitting the wider Midlands Region, an exemplar for social, economic, physical and environmental development. The new Regional City will be sustainable and healthy, with a vibrant economy and outstanding quality of life for all. This new Regional City serves to reimagine and redefine the attractive offer the Midlands can make to inward investment, to kick-start and sustain the regional economy, and to provide the supporting infrastructure, services and facilities needed to safeguard quality of life and the environment.
