This overlays a mixed stratum of coarse soils which are very dense. The coarse soils/dense material extends to the bottom of the trial pit at 2m below ground level, where rock is encountered The underlying strata is suitable to bear point loads generated by a strip footing. The most appropriate foundation design for units 01 is as follows; • Removal of the 0.4m of organic matter (topsoil) • Excavation of dense, coarse soils to required formation level • Construction of strip footing foundation (1200mm in width, 400mm in depth, with a layer of A393 mesh). Units 02 & 03 / Plot 2&3 The trail pits completed along the northern and eastern side of the site; namely trial trench B contain organic matter (topsoil) ranging in depth of 0.1 to 0.4m. This overlays a mixed stratum of coarse soils which are very dense, ranging in depth from 0.4m to 1.7m at which point rock is present. The underlying strata is suitable

  • Soils of Co. Carlow
    Soil Survey Bulletin No. 17 Soils of Co. Carlow by M. J. Conry and Pierce Ryan National Soil Survey of Ireland An Foras Taluntais (THE AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTE) Published by an Foras Taluntais, 33 Merrion Road, Dublin 4. Price: Thirty Shillings FOREWORD The programme of the National Soil Survey for determining the fundamental characteristics of Irish soils and for mapping their distribution was initiated shortly after An Foras Taliintais commenced activities in 1958. Its primary aim is to develop an inventory of our soil resources as a basis for rational land-use planning. The main activities of this survey are being carried out on a county basis. When introducing the first of the reports in the county series—that covering the Soils of County Wexford—the role of soil survey in agricultural development, and indeed in general planning activities, was outlined. Carlow, although small in extent, is one of the most important agricultural areas in the country. It is also a county of contrasts, in its general landscape features, in its soils and in its agriculture. The rolling lowlands of the extensive central portion of the county are dominated by deep, well-drained fertile soils. These are devoted to mixed farming with a high proportion of tillage and a fair concentration of live­ stock, principally dairy cattle and sheep. The hills associated mainly with the Castlecomer Plateau consist of physically difficult and mostly poorly drained soils. Here livestock farming is at a low to moderately intensive level and forestry is being extended. On the steeply sloping flanks of the Blackstairs Mountains, which carry degraded mineral soils on the lower slopes and peats at the higher elevations, the emphasis is on sheep raising mostly at low intensity levels, and forestry is proving a useful alternative form of land use.

  • County Carlow Development Plan 2022-2028
    CARLOW COUNTY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2022-2028 ISSUES PAPER The purpose of the County Development Plan is to set out an overall strategy for the proper planning and sustainable development of the County. CARLOW COUNTY COUNCIL COMHAIRLE CHONTAE CHEATHARLACH Foreword The review of the County Development Plan is one of the most significant and broad strategic functions of Carlow County Council. The new Carlow County Development Plan will be for the period 2022 to 2028 and will set out a vision for the development of Carlow to 2028 and be a platform for development beyond 2028. During the period of the current plan Ireland has seen significant growth in its economy and population. The recent pandemic has stalled that growth and presented new economic and social challenges that could not have been envisaged until recently. This review of the County Development Plan is an opportunity to meet those challenges as we plan for the future. The review of the County Development Plan begins on 24th June 2020 and will take two years to complete. This process will deliver a vision for the strategic spatial development of the County for the following six years. It will offer an opportunity to re-examine our rural and urban landscape and to bring forward innovative ways to improve the County for the benefit of all. The publication of this issues paper is the first step in the plan-making process and it sets out the key development issues impacting the County that need to be addressed in this review. This paper will encourage public engagement and facilitate conversations on these issues and any others that arise through public engagement and participation.
