The houses in the Kiltiernan / Glenamuck area have for the
most part mature gardens with a variety of native and exotic
species. Mature poplar, eucalyptus and cypresses are found in
gardens with beech, oak, ash, willow and birch. These are often
mature trees and give a sense of continuity or linkage to the
surrounding countryside and in particular to the hedgerows and
wooded patches.

Appendix F: Recommendations of the Historical
Landscape Character Assessment

Recommendations 1 - How the HLCA could inform the LAP
 Issue                             Recommendation
 Future Development                Future development in the study area should take cognisance of the context.
                                   Therefore to minimise impact, future development should consider the unique mix of
                                   scale / massing in the current fabric.
 Protection of Built Fabric        It is imperative to protect historically important local buildings.
 Protection of Hedgerows           Protection of local hedgerows is a high priority for ensuring habitat survival and
                                   maintaining local biodiversity.
 Adoption of Local Placenames      Usage of local placenames should be encouraged wherever possible in future
                                   developments.
 Use of Local Building Materials   An important element of the local character is employment of granite in
                                   construction. The use of local granite should be encouraged in future development,
                                   to continue the tradition of utilising local materials and to maximise the visual and
                                   economic linkages with the local landscape.
 Retention of Views                Preservation of both internal and external views is important considerations as they
                                   are essential elements of the local character.

Recommendations 2 – Future Work
 Issue                             Recommendation
 Loughlinstown River Study         It is important to undertake a detailed study of the Loughlinstown River system
                                   including: the historical industrial systems, the portal tomb, the Early Christian/
                                   Medieval church precinct, Mill House precinct, Moss Cottage precinct and the
                                   surviving mill ruins.
 Kiltiernan Castle                 The possible location of Kiltiernan Castle is unknown, and should be investigated
                                   further.
 Flora and Fauna                   A full inventory of flora and fauna is required, encompassing, mammals,
                                   invertebrates, fish, birds, birds and plant life.
 Estate Houses                     It would be worthwhile to undertake a detailed study of the local large estate
                                   houses (their demesnes and contexts). This would include Shaldon Grange, Rockville,
                                   Kiltiernan Lodge, the old Mill House, and the site of Kiltiernan Abbey. (The latter three
                                   buildings/sites are not within the LAP area.)
 Victorian Fabric                  Consideration should be given to investigate and protect the wide range of Victorian
                                   buildings and elements in the village.

 Design Guide                      It would be worthwhile considering a style/design guide, which could be adopted to
                                   encourage sympathetic further development in the study area.

Section 49
Section 49 of the Planning and Development Act, 2000 enables
a Planning Authority when granting planning permission
pursuant to Section 34 of the Act to attach a condition to
a planning permission requiring payment of a financial
contribution in respect of any public infrastructure service or
project hereafter referred to as a “Supplementary Development
Contribution Scheme” (SDCS).

The supplementary development levies payable are as follows
(2008):

Residential:   A contribution rate of €319,070 per gross site
               hectare.

Commercial: A contribution rate of €727,480 per gross site
            hectare.

The following developments are exempt from the SDC levy:
house extensions; a granny flat where it is a condition that it
be used as a family unit; public utilities i.e. schools, community
centres, youth centres etc; organisations which have been
granted exemptions from Income tax/Corporation Tax under
the provisions of section 20 of the Taxes Consolidation Act
1997 and are currently in receipt of an exemption certificate.
Large-scale recreational developments (e.g. golf courses,
sports pitches, tennis complexes, etc.), excluding buildings and
ancillary facilities, shall also be exempt from the supplementary
development contribution levy.

The contribution shall be updated each year on 13 January
during the life at the scheme at a fixed compound interest rate
at 5% per annum.

    entail temporary diversions of services and/or staging of the
    works in the construction phase.

(v) Boundary Treatments

The form of boundary treatment to be implemented should
be appropriate to the adjacent landuse. Where agriculture is
predominant, timber post and rail fencing is recommended,
though the detail and exact form of fence may depend on the
particular animals. Where gardens or property associated with
dwellings is impacted upon, particular provisions may be as
agreed between residents and DLRCC.

As development in the area proceeds, it is likely that boundary
treatments will need to be amended to suit the particular
developments taking place. Such amendments to the boundary
treatments should be carefully considered as part of the
planning process.

Particular boundary treatments may also be necessary to
mitigate visual, noise and vibration impacts of the scheme.
The recommendations of the Environmental Study should be
followed in such situations.

(vi) Safety Audit

A Stage 1 Safety Audit will be carried out on the Scheme upon
completion of the preliminary design. The Safety Audit will be
carried out in accordance with the relevant sections of the NRA
DMRB standard HD 19/01 and the draft National Road Safety
Audit Guidelines published by the NRA.

The GDDR Study recommends that Mobility Management
Plans (MMPs) be required for proposed developments in the
