On 18th September 2020, as per Section 11 of the Planning and Development Act, 2000, as amended, the Planning Authority commenced the review of the existing Clare County Development Plan 2017-2023 (as varied) and the preparation of a new Clare County Development Plan for the period 2022-2028. The process commenced with a notice in the local newspaper and the publication of the Issues Paper followed by an 8 week period of public consultation up to the 16th of November 2020. The Issues Booklet was made available on line and distributed to initiate debate on the broad planning and development matters that should be included in the new Development Plan. This marks the first stage of what is in general a two year, process for the preparation and adoption of a Development Plan. The preparation of the Clare County Development Plan is one of the most important functions of the Council as it represents an agreed economic, social, cultural and environmental blueprint for the future planning, growth and development of County Clare. Notwithstanding the restrictions placed on holding public events and meetings due to Covid- 19, the level of engagement at this stage of the process was high with a total of 212 submissions were received; 12 of these related to zoning and were therefore considered invalid and 6 were received after the closing date. Thus a total of 194 valid submissions were received and considered in this report. Clare County Council wish to take this opportunity to sincerely thank everyone who took the time to make a submission on the Issues Booklet, those who gave their time to attend the information sessions both physically and virtual, and engaged with officials and Elected Members. The views, opinions and suggestions from all persons and bodies that have made submissions are taken into considerations in this report and will inform the on-going preparation of the draft Development Plan. 1.1 Purpose and Format of the Chief Executive’s Report This Chief Executive‘s Report forms part of the statutory procedure for the review of the existing Clare County Development Plan 2017-2023 (as varied) and the preparation of a new Clare County Development Plan 2022-2028. Its purpose is to report on the outcome of the statutory consultation process (as prescribed under Section 11 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended). In accordance with the legislation the report lists and summarises the main issues raised in the submissions received from the pre-draft consultation process, and provides recommendations on the policies to be included in the draft Development Plan. The report will be issued to Elected Members of Clare County Council for consideration. 4 The Chief Executive Report consists of 5 sections and supported by 5 appendices. Section 1: Provides an introduction and overview of the report and details the legislative background for this stage of the preparation of the draft Development Plan as well as outlining the role of the Elected Members in the next stage of the process. Section 2: Outlines the consultation that was undertaken during the Pre-Draft consultation phase of the review. Section 3: Information on the next stage of the County Development Plan Review Section 4: Outlines the issues raised within the written submissions received from The Office of the Planning Regulator and Southern Regional Assembly during the Pre-Draft consultations phase and the Chief Executive’s Opinion and Recommendations Section 5: Outlines the issues raised within the written submissions received on all other valid submissions during the Pre-Draft consultations phase and the Chief Executive’s Opinion and Recommendations Additional information is included in the appendices such as bodies and persons consulted and list of valid and late submissions. 1.2 Legislative Background for the Chief Executive’s Report The purpose of this section is to set out the legislative requirements governing this stage of the review of the Clare County Development Plan 2017-2023 (as varied) and the preparation of the new Clare County Development Plan 2022-2028. In addition, the requirements for Strategic Environmental Assessment and Appropriate Assessment throughout the overall Development Plan process are introduced. Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended Section 11(4)(b) of the Planning and Development Act, 2000, as amended, sets out the requirements in relation to the preparation of a Chief Executive‘s Report. Under this section of the Act, the Chief Executive is required to prepare a report on the submissions and observations received during the public consultation period. The Chief Executive’s Report must: (i) List the persons or bodies who make submissions or observations under this section as well as any persons or bodies consulted by the Authority (ii) Summarise the issues raised in the submissions and during the consultations, where 5 appropriate, but shall not refer to a submission relating to a request or proposal for zoning of particular land for any purpose. (iii) Give the opinion of the Chief Executive to the issues raised, taking account of: - the proper planning and sustainable development of the area, - the statutory obligations of any local authority in the area, - and any relevant policies or objectives for the time being of the Government or of any Minister of the Government, and (iv) State the Chief Executive‘s recommendations on the policies to be included in the draft Development Plan. (v) Summarise the issues raised and the recommendations made by the Southern Regional Assembly in a report prepared in accordance with Section 27A and outline the recommendation of the Chief Executive in relation to the manner in which those issues and recommendations should be addressed in the draft Development Plan. In accordance with the Act, the Chief Executive‘s Report must then be submitted to the Members of the Planning Authority, for their consideration. Following consideration of the Chief Executive‘s Report, members may then issue directions to the Chief Executive regarding the preparation of the draft Development Plan. These directions shall be strategic in nature, and shall take account of the statutory obligations of the Local Authority in the area and relevant policies or objectives of the Government or of any Minister of the Government. In issuing Directions, Section 11(4)(f) of the Act states that the Members shall be restricted to considering the proper planning and sustainable development of the area to which the Development Plan relates. Core Strategy Section 10(1A) of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended, contains requirements for all Planning Authorities to include a Core Strategy which shows that the development objectives in the development plan are consistent, as far as practicable, with national and regional development objectives set out in the National Planning Framework and the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy and with specific planning policy requirements specified in guidelines under subsection (1) of section 28.

  • Wales-Ireland Travelogue 2009
    WALES AND IRELAND TRIP MAY 12 TO JUNE 4, 2009 What a coincidence! Meaningless, to be sure - but a coincidence, nonetheless. Our trip to the British Isles in 2009 began and ended one day earlier than our trip to Scotland, May 14 to June 5, 2001. (One can only hope that September of this year doesn't hold the same sort of unpleasant surprise that was visited upon us eight years ago.) OK, so I made a "small" error - we are departing two days earlier, not one. And, OK, so it wasn't much of a coincidence, was it? I mean, a real coincidence - one of excruciating consequence - occurred at the Polo Grounds in NYC on October 3, 1951 when Ralph Branca of the Blessed Brooklyn Dodgers was called in to pitch in the 9th inning and, by coincidence, Bobby Thomson of the Bestial New York Giants happened to come to bat, and, by coincidence, Mr. Branca happened to throw a pitch that the aforementioned Mr. Thomson happened to swing at, and, by coincidence, made contact with said pitch and drove it a miserable 309 feet into the first row of the left- field seats of the absurdly apportioned Polo Grounds, thus ending the Dodgers' season and causing a certain 12-year-old, watching on TV, in Brooklyn to burst into tears. Now that was a coincidence! But I digress. Tuesday, May 12 to Wednesday, May 13 Rather than leaving our car at the Seattle Airport Parking Garage (cost for three-plus weeks $468) or at an airport hotel (about $335) we decide to try the new Gig Harbor Taxi (at $95 each way, including tip).

  • Clare CYPSC Children and Young People's Plan 2019
    Co. Clare Children and Young People’s Services Committee Children and Young People’s Plan 2019 - 2021 Inter-agency working to improve the lives of children, young people and families in Co. Clare Foreward Welcome to the Clare Children and Young People’s Plan 2019-2021 (CYPP) developed by the Clare Children and Young People’s Services Committee (CYPSC). Our new Plan 2019-2021 is ambitious and aims to improve the relationships between inter-agency services in Co. Clare to address the needs of children, young people, families and communities. The vision of our CYPSC is that all children and young people of Clare are valued, thriving, safe, content, have equal opportunity, are respected in their lives and are connected to their communities. This Plan is testimony to the commitment shown by of local stakeholders who strive towards making this vision a reality for children and young people in our County. We believe that children, families and communities should be actively involved in the decisions that affect their lives. We are committed to working with them to maximise their dignity, autonomy and self-determination whilst providing services that are timely and appropriate for their specific needs. In order to deliver on this ambition, our core principles have been set out in this plan to guide us on our decision-making for the coming years: a) Demonstrate leadership • Identify pieces of work / initiate action where we can show leadership • Demonstrate leadership on improving outcomes for children and young people b) Facilitate interagency collaboration • Clarifying roles and responsibilities of stakeholders • Clarifying internal leadership and authority c) Enable a voice for children and young people d) Being evidence-informed e) Prioritise identified gaps (avoiding duplication) f) Optimise available resources g) Ensure quality responses The Action Plan reflects a set of informed actions gathered from local knowledge, shaped by evidence whilst using the combined knowledge of members of strategic partners working within the wider community of County Clare.

  • Carrownagowan Wind Farm Dear Homeowner
    Carrownagowan Wind Farm Dear Homeowner, First and foremost, we hope this finds you safe and well in these challenging times, and adjusting as best possible to new ways of going about daily life. As you may be aware, Coillte’s Renewable Energy business has been actively exploring a wind farm development opportunity in the Slieve Bearnagh area since early 2018. The community engagement model which we use within our team has given us an opportunity to meet with a very high proportion of people residing within 2 km of the potential wind farm. The proposed Carrownagowan Wind Farm project is nearing the end of its pre-planning phase and should shortly enter the planning process. Under normal circumstances, we would be holding a public information event now in order to present the enclosed information to the wider public in the area surrounding this project. However, the Covid-19 pandemic and associated restrictions mean that this is not now possible. As an alternative, we are now distributing the attached information very widely. It sets out a detailed overview of all aspects of the proposed Carrownagowan Wind Farm project. We acknowledge that this is by no means ideal, but please be assured that we will continue to make every effort to ensure that we provide you with all the information you need in order to fully understand the details of this proposed project and also make available the necessary resources within our team to support any engagement. Once you have had a chance to read through this brochure, please do make contact with any of the team using the contact details at the back if you have any areas of the project you wish to discuss further.
