   County Donegal Development Plan 2024-2030 (As Varied) 724 Chapter 21 Settlement FrameworksChapter 27 Settlement Frameworks PART C Chapter 27 – Settlement Frameworks 27.1 Introduction The purpose of this Chapter is to set out spatial planning frameworks and associated land use zoning objectives to guide development within the 53 no. Settlement Frameworks identified in the Settlement Strategy in the Core Strategy, Chapter 3 of this Plan. These frameworks are listed alphabetically within their Municipal Districts (with their associated map numbers) in Table 21.1 below. The Settlement frameworks are designed to be sufficiently detailed and/or geographically specific to successfully manage the overall pattern and type of development in these town and village locations. The Settlement strategy has identified 5 Settlement hierarchies which seek to approach the urban structure in a balanced and proportionate manner. All 53 Settlement frameworks are spread across the Service Towns and Rural Settlement layers of the hierarchy which is set out below: • Regional Growth Driver - Letterkenny • County Growth Drivers – Buncrana, Ballybofey/Stranorlar, Donegal Town, Killybegs, An Clochan Liath. • Service Towns – Lifford, Carndonagh, Ballyshannon, Bundoran, Raphoe, Bunbeg-Derrybeg, Milford. • Rural Settlements – Gaeltacht, Border & WAW Settlements, Satellite towns and Rural settlements with a focus on Regeneration. • Open Countryside . and to achieve the following planning objectives:  Create compact urban forms, protect the rural character of adjoining rural areas, and delineate the geographical extent of urban and rural policies of this Plan by setting an outer development envelope/boundary for each settlement.  Ensure that new residential development is located in close proximity to local services, infrastructure and amenities and takes place in a sequential manner outwards from the settlement core.  Create vibrant, consolidated, and accessible town centres which are the core of retail, commercial, cultural and community life within the settlements.  Provide an adequate level of recreational and environmental amenity by protecting existing open/green spaces, reserving sufficient land for amenity purposes and protecting pedestrian linkages.  Reserve sufficient land for educational, community and tourism purposes in appropriate locations.  Protect specific development opportunities through the designation of opportunity sites.  Provide for future road development by protecting infrastructural corridors. To this end the Settlement Frameworks identify settlement envelopes, town centre boundaries, and land for inter alia residential, amenity, opportunity sites, community & education facilities,

In addition the Settlement Framework also consist of lands that, although not specified as being for a particular use, can be used for a variety of purposes such as community, educational, recreational, health and employment on a case by case basis and will thus help to achieve the abovementioned planning objectives. The Settlement Frameworks are not designed to be exhaustive in the presentation of all the relevant matters that may be considered in the determining of a planning application, as further issues may evolve over time or may be pertinent in certain site-specific cases.

The zoning objectives set out in Table 27.2 below relate to land within the Settlement Framework boundaries and should be read in conjunction with the wider policies contained in Part A of this Development Plan. On zoned lands within the Settlement Frameworks, applications may be granted where the Planning Authority considers that the proposed use or development would comply with the zoning objective of the area and would otherwise comply with the policies of the Plan and would be in accordance with the proper planning and sustainable development of the area. Table 27.2: Land Use Zoning Objectives relating to Settlement Frameworks. LAND USE ZONE OBJECTIVE Amenity To reserve and enhance land for formal and informal amenity and open space purposes, and to make provision for new recreation, leisure and community facilities Opportunity Sites To provide for specific development opportunities that are appropriate in terms of mix of use and compatibility with the wider area whilst recognising features of importance that are specific to the site Town Centre To sustain and strengthen the core of towns as the centres for commercial, retail, cultural and community life.

Such proposals shall follow best practice in the management of health and safety for users and residents of the proposal. Water compatible uses only as per Section 5.28 of the ‘ Planning System and Flood Risk Guidelines’ (DEHLG and OPW, Nov. 2009). Flood risk areas may be viewed at the following link: Settlement Frameworks with High-End Future Flooding Scenario Analysis (arcgis.com) SF-P-2 To guide development of all settlement frameworks including Lifford, Raphoe, Bunbeg-Derrybeg and Milford in a sequential manner, outwards from the core area in order to maximise the utility of existing and future infrastructure provision, promote the achievement of sustainability, avoid leap-frogging’ to more edge-of-centre and edge-of-town areas and to make better use of under-utilised land. This policy shall not apply to small scale business enterprises (excluding retail development) of circa 1 to 5 employees. SF-P-3 To facilitate the sustainable provision of a hotel and marina leisure tourism development at Fahan Marina and its environs. In general, standalone holiday homes will not be supported. (This policy is the subject of Draft Ministerial Direction - for more information refer to www.donegaldevplan.ie or consult.donegal.ie. ) RAM-P-1 Ensure that any development occurring within the area referenced R1 in the settlement framework map for Ramelton: a. Preserves the special character and sense of place of the host Ramelton Architectural Conservation Area. b. Provides vehicular/footpath access solely via the R249 to the north and a separate additional active travel only linkage along the ‘Green Lane’ to the south as far as the existing footpath in Ramelton village. c. Does not materially harm/affect the character of RPS 4080014, provides for the sensitive heritage led regeneration of said structure, preserves the visual setting of said structure and provides a substantial setback and appropriate screening between it and any new development.
