Settlement Capacity Audit Tiered Approach to Zoning

1.0 Introduction

This section supports the Draft Limerick Development Plan 2022 – 2028 with respect to the availability of strategic infrastructure to ensure that zoned lands are developable over the lifetime of the plan, in accordance with Appendix 3 of the National Planning Framework (NPF) and Settlement Capacity Audit requirements of the Draft Development Plan Guidelines for Planning Authorities (2021). The NPF sets out a tiered approach for zoning lands as follows:

Tier 1: Serviced Zoned Land - Lands that are able to connect to existing development services, i.e. road and footpath access including public lighting, foul sewer drainage, surface water drainage and water supply, for which there is service capacity available, and can therefore accommodate new development; and

Tier 2: Serviceable Zoned Land - Lands that are not currently sufficiently serviced to support new development but have the potential to become fully serviced within the life of the plan”.

The Settlement Capacity Audit (SCA) ~~assessment~~ focuses on the availability of infrastructure identified under the Tier 1 and Tier 2 definitions of the NPF, i.e. road and water services infrastructure, to determine whether lands zoned for residential, mixed use and employment development are adequately serviced (Tier 1) or serviceable (Tier 2) during the lifetime of the Development Plan. Sites requiring minor infrastructure works (extension of a footpath for example) have been identified as Tier 2 (Serviceable) in accordance with the NPF. Tier 2 designations highlight potential issues or constraints in infrastructure, which are required to be addressed prior to the development of lands. The assessment includes proximity details to public transport, schools and local centres for information purposes only and ~~which~~ does not affect the tiered ranking of the lands.

Further to the NPF’s methodology for a tiered approach to zoning, the Local Authority acknowledges that the provision of social infrastructure is important in the creation of sustainable communities. In consultation with the Department of Education and Skills, the Development Plan ensures that sufficient zoned land is available to cater for the provision of new and expanding schools to serve the population growth targets for Limerick.

1. Delivery of Infrastructure

The delivery of infrastructure by Irish Water, the Local Authority and other state bodies can often be a lengthy process. The purchasing of land (including CPOs), preliminary designs, appraisals, feasibility studies, site evaluations, environmental reports, detailed design and planning permissions etc. must be secured prior to construction. The delivery of infrastructure can therefore often extend beyond the lifetime of a Development Plan.

The delivery of infrastructure is also dependent on the availability of funding via Central Government, Limerick City and County Council and private developers. The delivery of small-scale infrastructure, such as the provision of footpaths, may be delivered through operational works of a service provider or by a developer through the planning application process.

1. Infrastructure Requirements

The Forward Planning team have consulted with the various Departments of Limerick City and County Council and Irish Water to facilitate preparation of this Development Plan. These consultations have also informed this Settlement Capacity Audit (SCA) ~~Tiered Approach to Zoning~~, which should be read in tandem with Chapter 7 6 Sustainable Mobility and Transport and Chapter 8 7 Infrastructure.

Comments have been included in the SCA ~~infrastructure~~ tables in relation to potential infrastructure required, and where relevant proposed, in order to release lands for development. However, this assessment does not comprise an exhaustive list and it should be noted that requirements for additional works may be identified during the process of preparing and assessing planning applications. The SCA ~~infrastructure~~ tables should therefore not be relied upon for development management purposes. It should also be noted that the site areas do not relate to individual land folios and provide an estimate for calculation of potential yield purposes only. The potential residential yield of sites is based on the density zones within which the sites fall, or includes the number of units permitted on the site where indicated in the comments. It should be noted that an individual site may fall within two density areas and the potential yield is based on the site area located within each zone. The potential residential yield may therefore not be a direct calculation and is an estimate only. The actual density achievable on any particular site will be dependent on compliance with all quantitative and development management standards of this Development Plan and relevant Section 28 Guidelines.

While it is noted that the NPF requires a reasonable estimate for the full cost of delivery of the required infrastructure identified, this presents an issue with respect to the availability or knowledge of such costs. However, such information has been included where available.

1. Settlement Capacity Audit by Settlement Tier

A Settlement Capacity Audit ~~Tiered Approach to Zoning~~ is set out in this Volume for settlements that do not have a Local Area Plan. A Settlement Capacity Audit ~~Tiered Approach to Zoning~~ for settlements with a Local Area Plan will form part of any review of such Plan. The SCA ~~infrastructure~~ tables indicate whether lands are serviced, or serviceable during the lifetime of the Development Plan, outlines the infrastructure required in order to release the lands for development and identifies the tier ranking of the zoned lands. Corresponding maps indicate the sites to which the assessment applies.

1.3.1 Settlement Level 1 – Limerick City and Environs, including Mungret and Annacotty

Water Services Infrastructure: At present, there is capacity in the public water supply and wastewater treatment plants to cater for additional demand created during the lifetime of this Development Plan.

The Clareville Water Treatment Plant provides water supply to the City and Environs, which draws water from the River Shannon. The Treatment Plant is operating below its design capacity of 87 million ~~gallons~~ litres per day.

The Limerick Main Drainage Scheme also has the capacity to cater for future population growth. Foul effluent is treated at the Bunlicky wastewater treatment plant, which is operating below its design capacity of 186,000 population equivalents (P.E.). The River Shannon acts as the receiving waters for this treated wastewater. The Castletroy Wastewater Treatment Plan is also operating within its design capacity of 45,000 P.E. At present there is significant spare capacity available at Bunlicky WWTP however the spare capacity at Castletroy WWTP is limited. Projects are underway to increase capacity at both Bunlicky and Castletroy WWTPs and will be completed within the lifetime of the Draft Plan, subject to statutory approvals.

Adequate storm water drainage and retention facilities are necessary to accommodate surface water runoff from existing and proposed developments. The use of natural drainage systems at surface level through utilisation of existing drains, natural slopes and existing ponds and natural wetland areas should be considered in the first instance. Approaches to manage surface water (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS)) that take account of water quantity (flooding), water quality (pollution), biodiversity (wildlife and plants) and amenity will be required in any planning application.

Transport Infrastructure: As set out under the Metropolitan Area Strategic Plan (MASP), the transport investment requirements in the Limerick Shannon Metropolitan Area will be identified and prioritised through the Draft Limerick Shannon Metropolitan Area Strategic Transport Strategy (L-SMATS). The strategy contains a number of transport projects of strategic importance, which will improve public transport provision across the City and Environs, Mungret and Annacotty and support objectives for compact growth focussing on the integration of land use and transport. In addition, there are a number of indicative road proposals which will alleviate local congestion. Two major new road projects, including the Limerick Northern Distributor Road and the LIHAF road at Mungret, will unlock the potential of substantial tracks of land for development, while alleviating congestion and contributing to the ease of movements of goods and vehicles through the city.

Other Infrastructure: The City and Environs, including Mungret and Annacotty are served by a high capacity electricity system, gas network and fibre broadband.

1.3.2 Settlement Capacity Audit Tiered Approach to Zoning Tables

The following tables set out the individual sites identified on the accompanying maps, as suitable for the provision of residential development (Table 1) and employment related uses (Table 2) and outline the availability of strategic infrastructure to service these sites. The following should be noted:

The potential residential yield of sites is based on the density zones within which the sites fall, or includes the number of units permitted on the site where greater than the potential yield (*), or the number of units achievable over the life time of the plan (**) as indicated in the comments. An individual site may fall within two density areas and the potential yield is based on the site area located within each density zone. The potential residential yield is an estimate only. The actual density achievable on any particular site will be assessed on a case by case basis and dependent on compliance with all quantitative and development management standards of this Development Plan and relevant Section 28 Guidelines.
Appendix 3 of the NPF references services as public lighting, footpath and road access, water supply, foul sewer drainage and surface water drainage. These services have therefore been used to rank the lands into Tier 1 (serviced) or Tier 2 (serviceable).
Where existing infrastructure is located in close proximity to a site and has the potential to provide services, or where upgrades / extensions to a service is required, these sites have been indicated as serviceable (Tier 2) in accordance with the NPF definition.
Where a site is located in the City Centre or has been justified for zoning in accordance with the Plan Making Justification Test of the Flood Risk Management Guidelines for Planning Authorities (2009), the issue of flood risk may require a Site Specific Flood Risk Assessment and Hydraulic Modelling with site specific flood mitigation design or works etc. requiring significant investment on the part of the developer, on a case by case basis. Lands identified as being at risk of flooding are therefore ranked as Tier 2.
The assessment includes proximity details to public transport, schools and local centres for information purposes only and does not affect the tiered ranking of the lands.
For the purpose of this assessment of Limerick City and Environs, including Mungret and Annacotty an infill site is defined as a site surrounded by existing development on at least three sides.
