    Zoning at the site

    C2.1 — Economic development and employment

    Enterprise and Employment: To provide for and improve general enterprise, employment, business and commercial activities.

    Zoned for employment uses. Housing is not the intended use here.

    G3 — High amenity

    Semi-Natural Open Space: To protect Natura 2000 designated sites, candidate/proposed sites and flood plains in a semi natural open state.

    Protected high-amenity landscape. Development is resisted to preserve the character of the area.

    R2 — Existing residential

    Existing Residential: To provide for residential development, protect and improve existing residential amenity.

    An established residential area. The objective is to protect existing residential amenity as well as to provide housing — which is the objective a neighbour's objection to an overbearing extension is usually argued under.

    R3 — Rural cluster

    Residential Serviced Sites: The purpose of this zoning category is to provide an alternative to individuals wishing to build and design their own houses in small towns and villages rather than the open countryside. High quality, low density residential developments are promoted.

    A small rural settlement where only modest infill serving local need is envisaged.

    Designations within 250 m

    No OPW flood extent nearby.

    No other designation nearby.
