   SVSO 01 SVSO 02 SVSO 03 SVSO 04 SVSO 05 SVSO 06 SVSO 07 Stradone Village Specific Objectives It is a Specific Objective of Cavan County Council to: Support the continued development and growth of new and existing industries within and surrounding Stradone. Encourage the renewal, reuse and regeneration of any derelict and underutilised buildings in the village core area. Village Core development uses will be encouraged. Support the revitalisation of the village core and the preparation of an action based revitalisation plan for the village. Support the provision of a better pedestrian network and links within and around the village core, including walkways and cycleways. Require all new developments along the length of the Stradone River to contribute to the creation of a linear park and wildlife corridor. Retain and encourage the refurbishment and appropriate use of existing Gate Lodge and railings and ancillary buildings in recognition of their contribution to the unique character of Stradone. Development shall be sympathetic to the topography of the landscape (to the east of the village and to the south-west) with adequate provision of open spaces and community facilities.

   2.13 Town and Village Climate Context and Development Objectives In accordance with the format set out in Chapter 5 Climate Change of this Plan, the following is an assessment of the content of this chapter in a Climate Context and development objectives. Stopping CO2 emissions from fossil fuels today will not reverse the damage that has already been inflicted on the planet. Climate change will continue to advance, but at a slower rate if action is not implemented. Never has regeneration played such in pivotal role in its ability to deliver not just ‘carbon-neutral’, but ‘carbon negative’ development. This challenge is set against a world where more than one million people every week relocate from rural to urban environments, each with the expectation of better access to jobs, education, health care, housing and quality of life. Urban Regeneration has been defined as “a comprehensive and integrated vision and action which leads to the resolution of urban problems and which seeks to bring about a lasting improvement in the economic, physical, social and environmental conditions of an area that has been subject to change”. The sustainable delivery of this concept can be simply achieved by putting brownfield and empty buildings first, applying appropriate densities, engaging with existing communities, encouraging mixed use development, using sustainable energy and causing minimal environmental impact. In order to make our towns more sustainable, they must be made more compact, better connected and less damaging to the environment; as the less dense our towns the further the sprawl and the worse the traffic problem. Encouraging and replicating mixed-use, closely knit neighbourhoods ordered around streets and open spaces through good design and planning, intensifying and maximising mixed-use development while protecting the character of existing communities remains constant. Regeneration has the potential to extend its scope well beyond the traditional realms of urban design and immerse itself into agriculture, technology, waste, and even human behaviour or biophilic design to combat climate change. Biophilic design is based on using naturebased systems, engineering principles (low energy buildings) and design cues to ultimately improve our environment, health and efficiency. Four funds are available under ‘Project Ireland 2040’ designed to stimulate renewal and investment in rural and urban areas, the environment and innovation. These consist of the Climate Action Fund, Urban Regeneration and Development Fund (URDF), Rural Regeneration and Development Fund (RRDF) and the Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund, all of which have the potential to play a leading role in addressing climate change. TVC 01 TVC 03 TVC 02 TVC 04 Town and Village Climate Development Objectives It is a development objective of Cavan County Council to: Provide for sustainable live-work patterns and to improve local employment, services and sustainable transport options to enable the towns to become more self-sustaining. Encourage multi-land use and typologies within large scale developments, as considered by the Planning Authority. Require all large-scale developments (as determined by the Planning Authority) to submit supporting and professionally prepared carbon footprint calculations, and an outline of the proposed measure to be implemented to offset same. Prepare a marketing leaflet for Cavan Town and other large towns within the county area to encourage development within the serviced settlements.
