INTRODUCTION 1.1 Preamble MKO have been appointed by Sean McDonnell, Mary Dooley and Helen Staunton to prepare a submission to Galway County Council on the Draft County Development Plan 2022-2028. This submission relates to Lands at Station Road, Oranmore, Co. Galway, adjacent to Oranmore Business Park and Deerpark Industrial Estate. This submission is laid out in accordance with the following key points, which we respectfully ask that Galway County Council take cognisance of in their preparation of the Draft County Development Plan: Strategic Location of the subject Site; Factors Influencing Change of Zoning; Existing and Draft Zoning of the Subject Site; and Changing landscape of employment, logistics and regional access. There is an opportunity within the emerging Development Plan to recognise the changing requirements of lands designated for various forms of employment and industry. The following submission has been informed by the National Planning Framework, the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy for the North and Western Regional Assembly, Local Authority Plans and with an eye to the National Development Plan and Climate Action Plan (2019). 1.2 County Development Plan Review In accordance with Parts 9 and 11 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) Galway County Council are obligated to make a development plan every 6 years and open the draft plan to public consultation during the process. The Galway County Development Plan 2022-2028 is currently in its second (Draft Plan) stage of review; the public consultation of which is currently taking place from 20th May 2021 to 30th July 2021. This report forms the basis for a submission to the draft plan review. Our client is taking a logical approach towards the planning and development of Galway County. Such an approach is key to ensuring that suitable lands are developed in the most efficient and sustainable manner feasible, to enhance tourism and the heritage of the area, and to meet the aims and objectives of national and regional policy and guidance of the same. 1.3 Site Specific Context The subject site is located to the east of the Claregalway Road (R381) and has access from a laneway to the north (L71114). The subject site is circa 12.09 Hectares in size and is currently underutilised as farm land, but is currently zoned as Business and Technology, OS - Open Space and A - Agriculture in the Oranmore Local Area Plan 2012-2022. 1.4 Proposed Rezoning On behalf of our client, Sean McDonnell, we respectfully request that the subject lands are zoned ‘Business & Enterprise’ in the adopted Galway County Development Plan 2022-2028. The rationale and justification for this rezoning is set out in the Sections below. Lands at Carrowmoneash, Oranmore, Co. GalwayLands at Carrowmoneash, Oranmore, Co. Galway Figure 1 Aerial View of the Subject Site (outline in red) Figure 2 Ordinance Survey Map of the Subject Site (outlined in black) Lands at Carrowmoneash, Oranmore, Co. GalwayLands at Carrowmoneash, Oranmore, Co. Galway 2. SUBMISSION TO THE DRAFT DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2.1 Strategic Location of the Subject Site The subject site is strategically well located with short journey times to the N67 (Galway to Moneypoint), M6 (Galway to Dublin, M17 (Galway to Tuam) and M18 (Galway to Limerick) roads. This provides for fast regional access to a number of important settlements, employers and supply chain industries and logistics infrastructure. The following sub-sections will set out how this high accessibility is more benefiting of the proposed change of zoning to Business & Enterprise. 2.1.1 Access to National Road Network Currently there exists an abundance of reliable road access in close proximity to the subject site. This affords strong regional and national access to the motorway network, ports and the wider economy of the island of Ireland.
