1 Introduction and Policy Context Chapter 1: Introduction and Policy Context 1 INTRODUCTION AND POLICY CONTEXT The Roscommon County Development Plan 2014 - 2020 (RCDP), like other development plans is formulated following a statutory based consultative process involving the Council Executive, elected members and the public alike. Inputs are also made by government departments and statutory consultees. The plan, which was prepared by the Planning Department of Roscommon County Council, sets out the strategic planning and sustainable development of the county over its lifetime (6 years) and is consistent with the National Spatial Strategy (NSS) and the Regional Planning Guidelines. 1.1 LEGISLATIVE BASIS AND CONTEXT There is an obligation on every planning authority to make a development plan every six years under the terms of the Planning and Development Act (2000-2012), Section 9(1). The Planning Act dictates that the development plan must not only consider planning aspects relating to its own area of administration but must also take consideration of and coordinate with objectives of adjoining local authorities as well. Mindful of this consideration, the council consulted with neighbouring planning authorities in relating to issues of mutual interest at pre draft stage. Whilst the RCDP concentrates on the proper planning and sustainable development of County Roscommon, it is also cognisant of the broader national and regional planning and developmental context of the county. The broader overarching social and infrastructural aims of the National Spatial Strategy, National Development Plan and Regional Planning Guidelines (Roscommon is situated within the West region) were considered when preparing the document. Government guidelines also help to inform and shape the policy direction of the plan. For example, the Sustainable Rural Housing Guidelines (2005), Sustainable Residential Guidelines (urban areas) (2009) and the Retail Planning Guidelines (2012) are but three such documents that help inform the County Development Plan. Such guidelines are ever evolving and reflect changes in planning policy and are shaped by both national and local planning experience. 1.2 CONTEXT OF THE COUNTY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 10(1) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) requires a development plan to set out an overall strategy for the proper planning and sustainable development of an area. The “sustainable“ consideration means that the longer term effects of development and how it impacts on people and the environment in general, both locally and in the broader context, both currently and into the future, must be considered. The Planning and Development Act requires the plan to contain mandatory development objectives in relation to a broad range of issues as set out in 10(2).These include the zoning of land (referred to in Local Area Plans), provision of infrastructure and preservation of landscape character among others. Planning objectives are influenced by planning policies contained within the plan. 1.3 PLANNING POLICY This is Roscommon County Councils statement of the principles it will use in making decisions on development and on its plan of action to ensure the proper planning and sustainable development of the county is realised. Roscommon County Development Plan 2014–2020 Page 1 Chapter 1: Introduction and Policy Context 1.4 DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES These are specific actions or statements which Roscommon County Council will endeavour to follow to ensure that policies are implemented, that goals and targets are attained and all development proposals are consistent with the proper planning and sustainable development of the county. In the interests of clarity, any reference to a goal , aim , policy and objective in the text of this County Development Plan 2014-2020 and associated Area Plans shall be construed as an “objectiv e” of this Plan for the purposes of the Planning and Development Act ,2000, as amended and the Planning Regulations , 2001, as amended. 1.5 CORE STRATEGY The Planning and Development (Amendment) Act 2010 requires the inclusion of a “Core S trategy” within development plans. The Core S trategy is required to include details setting out settlement strategy, retail objectives and transport li nkages among other issues. The Core S trategy contained within this plan informs the strategic direction of the county in planning terms for the period 2014-2020 and beyond . 1.6 STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT (SEA) Strategic Environmental Assessment ( SEA) is a systematic process for evaluating the likely significant environmental effects of implementing the County Development Plan. This is a man datory process under the terms of the Planning and Development (SEA) Regulations 2004 as amended and informs the Plans preparation. 1.7 DEVELOPMENT PLAN OVERVIEW The Roscommon County Development Plan, associated Area Plans , and supporting documents represent a comprehensive planning framework for the county for the Plan period 2014 -2020. The documents set out a vision as to how the county will develop in its own right and within its Regional and National context. In the br oader context, the Council is aware also that an outward looking view must also be considered in terms of the European and International dimension and that our economy, being open in nature, is reliant on trade interactions outside our own borders. The Roscommon County Development Plan is concerned with the well being of the County’s people of present and future generations. Accordingly, the document considers and plans for the broad array of factors that affect quality of life issues such as residentia l environment and economic well being. Access to services such as health care, education and transportation is also of primary importance. The development and progress of these aforementioned strands cannot proceed without having due consideration to their various environmental impacts. Consideri ng this, the Planning Authority has undertaken environmental analysis and scrutiny by means of, for example, Environment Impact Assessment and Flood Risk Assessment in its preparation of the Roscommon County Development Plan (RCDP) and associated documents. This ensures that the develop ment Policies and Objectives contained within the Plan are sustainable. The “sustainable” ideal ensures that the needs of today’s generation are catered for without compromising future generation’s needs. Roscomm on County Development Plan 2014 –2020 Page 2 Chapter 1: Introduction and Policy Context In terms of geographical location, Roscommon is centrally located within the country’s land mass. In relation to its Regional Planning context, it is located in the West Region but also abuts the Border and Midland Regions, see Figure 2.1.The fostering of interregional opportunities is, according to the Regional Planning Guidelines (RPGs) for the West Region, 2010-2022, “pivotal to the development and success of the (West) Region” and the RCDP 2014-2020 has taken cognisance of this in its preparation. Roscommon has interregional dependencies in terms of, among other aspects, employment, education and some levels of health care. The urban centres of Sligo, Longford and Athlone, amongst other centres, have influence on Roscommon in relation to these issues. Whilst Roscommon as a county does not operate in an isolated way in relation to its various spheres of activity, it is to be acknowledged that the County has considerable self sufficiency and has much to offer in terms of fundamental life-style requirements. Considerable capital investment in recent years has improved the level of services within the county including roads, sanitary services, water supplies, education facilities and retail provision. The Council is aware that there is no room for complacency in this regard and will endeavour to sustain, where feasible, these levels of service provision into the future. Challenges The county faces challenges of an economic nature which are in evidence and starkly highlighted in lack of confidence in consumer spending, vacancy in retail floor space and an element of urban decay creeping into some of the county’s town centres. This brings social pressures also, manifested in for example, emigration, job losses and general public disenchantment. The Council is aware that it alone cannot reinvigorate the economy. Nonetheless, it is in a position, via the planning process in general, to address ongoing issues such as unfinished residential estates and the aforementioned retail vacancy issue. In relation to the former, the Council has, and will continue, to work with the various stakeholders to secure services and address general public safety issues in unfinished estates. The DRCDP includes a range of Policies and Objectives which seek to address these challenges. The Planning Vision for Roscommon The development planning process, as embodied in this document, endeavours to facilitate the future progress of Roscommon in a measured, calculated and plan led sustainable manner across the county as a whole in a way that will maximise the beneficial effect of past and future infrastructural investments and accruing economic impacts. In order to effect this objective, the Council, via the core Planning Strategy and Policies and Objectives contained in the County Development Plan, will reflect the preferred strategic option for the both the Region and Roscommon as set out in the RPGS for the West Region 2010-2022. Key elements of this strategy are:- Concentrated development of Gateways, Hubs, linked hubs, key town, smaller

CONCLUSION 19 Executive Summary 1.0 Introduction This report provides a detailed assessment of the impact that the ‘Pilot’ Rural Renewal Tax Scheme for the Upper Shannon Area has had on lands adjacent to the River Shannon and hence the heritage of the River Shannon Waterway Corridor; a ‘waterway corridor area’ of international significance. The assessment focuses on the resulting impact of increased development pressures on the heritage within the River Shannon Corridor and the implications for the planning and development system within this area. Four detailed Case studies are provided (two case studies each for Counties Leitrim and Roscommon), in order to illustrate the long-term impact that the tax incentive scheme will have on the River Shannon Corridor Area. 2.0 Overview of the ‘Pilot’ Rural Renewal Scheme for the Upper Shannon Area 1998-2004 The Pilot Rural Renewal Tax Incentive Scheme was introduced by the government in 1998, ‘to help stimulate the development of the Upper Shannon Region’. The Heritage Council highlighted at the time of the introduction of the pilot scheme in 1998, that the programme was introduced without a ‘Baseline Audit’ to inform the level and scale of development to be supported through the scheme and to ensure an effective and efficient monitoring and evaluation system.
