  • 8 Infrastructure and Environment
    Kilkenny City &Environs Draft Development Plan 8. Infrastructure & Environment 8 Infrastructure and Environment 8.1 Transport The principal transport aim of Kilkenny Borough Council and Kilkenny County Council is to develop an efficient, sustainable and integrated multi-modal transport and communications system facilitating the movement of people, goods and services in the City and Environs. This is essential for the economic and social development of the City, its Environs and the county as a whole. Different types of land uses, by facilitating economic activity, will give rise to demands for travel and transport provision. Equally the provision of transport services will give rise to changes in land uses. In its transport policies and objectives, Kilkenny Borough Council and Kilkenny County Council will seek to reduce the reliance on private motor vehicles and will promote an increased use of public transport, walking and cycling. 8.1.1 Climate Change The Council has had regard to the National Climate Change Strategy (2007-2012) in framing its policies and objectives in this Development Plan and will seek to play its part towards the achievement of the national targets set out in therein. Two principles as espoused in the NSS have been applied to reduce transport-related energy consumption; • The formulation of a settlement strategy which is intended to guide urban and rural settlement patterns and communities to reduce distance from employment, services and leisure facilities and to make use of existing and future investments in public services; including public transport. • Maximising access to, and encouraging use of, public transport, cycling and walking. In addition, the Councils support of renewable technologies and encouragement of more sustainable energy-efficient building methods will further reduce our dependence on non-renewable energy sources.
