It has been led by the EPA, with input from Local Authorities and other public bodies. The characterisation assessments are automatically generated from the information stored in the WFD Application. The assessments may change as information is updated in the WFD application. Users should ensure that they have the most up to date information by downloading the latest assessment before use. 2 Evaluation of PrioritySubcatchment Issues The 2010-2015 ecological status for both Unshin_040 and Unshin_050 has declined from High to Good. As both water bodies have a High Ecological Status objective, both river water bodies are therefore At Risk. The significant issues are a combination of nutrients and potentially sediment from forestry, as well as agriculture and septic tanks. Dargan lake water body, within the Unshin_050 subbasin, is at Review due to lack of monitoring data and the presence of a potentially significant pressures. Investigative assessments are required to confirm the significant pressures. For Owenmore (Sligo)_080, 2010-2015 ecological status is Moderate and baseline concentrations of ammonia exceeded the environmental quality standard at the monitoring station downstream of a wastewater treatment works. Two storm water overflows are due to be upgraded. An investigative assessment will determine if the water quality has improved as a result.

  • Introduction

    Introduction

    INTRODUCTION 1.1 Under the Local Government (Planning and Development) Acts, each Planning Authority is obliged to prepare a Development Plan for its functional area and review this Development Plan every five years. The Development Plan is the core document of the planning and development process. It presents Sligo County Council’s short to medium term view of the future development of the county and underpins the Council’s overall objectives of promoting and facilitating development, conserving the environment and achieving optimum use of resources. The Development Plan provides a framework for the physical development of the county and allows for sustainable, co-ordinated and orderly growth which respects the county’s natural, built and heritage resources. This County Development Plan reviews and updates the previous County Development Plan adopted by Sligo County Council in 1985. It takes account of the major developments that have occurred since 1985 in terms of population and economic trends, physical infrastructure, growth patterns and social deprivation. It recognises and sets out physical development objectives aimed at redressing the enduring problems of rural depopulation and disadvantage, dereliction, sporadic housing in scenic areas and service deficiencies. Every effort has been made to incorporate significant changes in legislation, Departmental guidelines, European Union directives and socio-economic factors impacting upon the development process; the intention is to present a concise, document which guides and informs the achievement of sustainable development1. Sligo County Council will have regard to the aims of Local Agenda 21 in the formulation and implementation of policies contained within the Development Plan2. Sligo County Council is committed to assisting the community in promoting environmental education, supporting local development group projects, providing local environmental information and engaging in public consultation procedures and partnerships.

    3. County Sligo – Settlement Strategy

    3. County Sligo – Settlement Strategy 3.1 Growth model This section expands on the core aims of the Development Plan by setting out a settlement strategy for the urban and rural parts of the County. The settlement strategy draws on the RPGs and Sligo Sub-Regional Development Strategy 2001-2021. That Strategy, prepared in 2001, anticipated Sligo’s designation as a Gateway City prior to the publication of the NSS. Having reconsidered popula- tion forecasts in light of the NSS, the Council is eager to provide a proactive basis for the future development and regeneration of the County, developing Sligo into a city with a critical mass that is necessary to sustain the County and the North-Western Region into the future. This involves aiming towards a long-term, strategic population horizon of between 50,000 and 80,000 people over the next 20 to 30 years (a pace of development similar to that experienced in Galway over the past several decades). Such a population horizon should be a strategic reference point for actions at the day-to-day level, which would ordinarily be driven by providing for popula- tion growth based on past performance. Therefore, the approach taken in this Development Plan, is not a predict and provide one, but rather a plan → monitor → manage approach that ensures that Sligo can reach its Gateway status, with adjustments to land use zoning occurring during the preparation of subsequent local area plans and other land use plans for settlements throughout the County. In adopting a proactive approach to development in line with NSS projections, the Council has de- cided to pursue faster growth than was originally anticipated in the Sub-Regional Development Strat- egy 2001-2021.

AGE OF ROCKS: Precambrian; Devonian to Carboniferous, Paleogene Streedagh Point and Ben Bulben Lower Carboniferous limestones with the isolated mountain of Ben Bulben in the distance. This was carved by ice sheets as they moved past during the last Ice Age. 2 COUNTY GEOLOGY OF IRELAND: Sligo Geological Map of County Sligo Pale Purple: Precambrian Dalradian rocks; Pale yellow: Precambrian Quartzite; Green: Silurian sediments; Red: Granite; Beige:Beige:Beige: Devonian sandstones; Blue gray:Blue gray: Lower Carboniferous sandstones; Light blue: Lower Carboniferous limestone; Brown:Brown:Brown: Upper Carboniferous shales. Geological history The oldest rocks in the county form a strip of low hills extending along the south side of Lough Gill westwards past Collooney towards the Ox Mountains, with a small patch on Rosses Point north-west of Sligo town. They are schists and gneisses, metamorphosed from 1550 million year old [Ma] sedimentary rocks by the heat and pressure of two episodes of mountain building around 605 Ma and 460 Ma. Somewhat younger rocks, around 600 Ma, form the main massif of the Ox Mountains in the west of the county. They include schists and quartzites, once sedimentary rocks that have been less severely metamorphosed than the older rocks further east. In the far south of the county, around Lough Gara and the Curlew Mountains, are found a great thickness of conglomerates (pebble beds) and sandstones, with some layers rich in volcanic ash and fragments of lava.

    Draft Sligo County Development Plan 2017-2023 for public consultation – September 2016 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) of the Draft Sligo County Development Plan 2017-2023 This document contains the Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) for the Draft Sligo County Development Plan 2017-2023 (hereafter referred to as “the Plan”). The purpose of this SFRA is to support the Strategic Environmental Assessment of the Draft Plan and inform the policies and objectives of the Plan. Its content and format are derived from the guidance provided in The Planning System and Flood Risk Management - Guidelines for Planning Authorities, (DEHLG) November 2009. A two-stage assessment of flood risk was undertaken, as recommended in the above-mentioned Guideline. The first stage involves the identification of flood risk and is based on a variety of data sources, which are detailed in Section 3 of this report. This stage identifies the towns and villages in the County which are susceptible to flooding and for which a Stage 2 SFRA is required. The second stage deals in more detail with the villages where a flood risk has been identified and appraises the adequacy of existing information in order to prepare indicative flood zone maps. This stage also highlights potential development areas that require more detailed assessment on a site- specific level. The flood risk in the towns of Ballymote, Enniscrone, Tobercurry and Sligo town will be addressed in detail in separate strategic flood risk assessments as part of preparing or reviewing the respective Local Area Plans. 1.1 Flooding context Flooding is an environmental phenomenon which, as well as causing economic and social impacts, could, in certain circumstances, pose a risk to human health or even life, as well as to homes and infrastructure.

    POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHY The population of Sligo town over the last 400 years distinguishes the Borough as a clearly functioning urban centre, distinct from its vast rural hinterland. The lack of any other sizable urban centres within a twenty-five mile radius attests to Sligo’s historic position as the economic and market centre of the region. Early population estimates from the 1600s, Population of Sligo Borough 1600-2011 suggest that the county had between 16,000 20,000 and 20,000 inhabitants, with Sligo town home to about 600 souls. By 1659, the 18,000 population of the town had been estimated 16,000 at upwards of 1,000, an indication of growing 14,000 prosperity. Between 20 and 40 per cent of the adult population are believed to have 12,000 been English and Scottish settlers, including 10,000 numerous soldiers. 8,000 The population of County Sligo appears to 6,000 have fluctuated in the first half of the 18th 4,000 century, declined significantly in 1750, when the county experienced a brief period of 2,000 famine, but after that grew considerably.
