   Chapter 8: Infrastructure239 Smart Transport Patterns for Rural Transport, Open Data for Autonomous Vehicles and the Municipal Data Network. Collecting real-time data by Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, including over 100 air, noise, water and soil quality sensors will also take place throughout the City and County, with footfall counters in the City Centre and Smart CCTV in the settlements. These datasets will be used to foster innovation and support start-up ecosystems such as the Georgian Innovation District. Key digital growth enablers for Limerick and for the Limerick Shannon Metropolitan Area were identified by the RSES as necessary for the future sustainable development of the Southern Region. The objectives of the Plan in relation to digital connectivity will advance the vision of the RSES for the Southern Region and the role of Limerick therein. Objective IN O2 Digital Connectivity It is an objective of the Council to: a) Develop Limerick’s digital infrastructure, as guided by the settlement strategy as engines for a Smart City and County and drivers of a wider Smart Region including the Limerick Shannon Metropolitan Area, the Limerick Digital District and to progress Limerick’s ambition to be Ireland’s first Digital City. b) Seek opportunities under the All Ireland Smart Cities Forum including funding and partnership opportunities with stakeholders, to implement the programmes of the Limerick Digital Strategy and EU Digital Single Market. c) Encourage the use of good practices, nationally and internationally, through living labs, test beds, innovative research, disruptive technologies and collaborations with other agencies, including third level institutions and the private sector. d) Capitalise on opportunities in partnership with other agencies to deploy innovative, disruptive technologies and smart infrastructure across Limerick City and County, including more peripheral locations to eliminate any disparities on digital connection and reliability of service. e) Explore opportunities to ensure all communities can transition to digitalisation for a better quality of life and eliminate digital inequalities, in terms of access to digital networks for the purposes of business, access to public services including education and contemporary cultural and entertainment experiences. f) Support the development of Smart Homes and Smart Buildings and facilitate the Smart Limerick concept in accordance with the Limerick Digital Strategy 2017 – 2020 and any subsequent plans. g) Support investment in incubation and ICT infrastructure to capitalise on remote working opportunities, enterprise start-ups, e-commerce and up-scaling for businesses across all settlements in the County. h) Support emerging innovations in the digital transformation of transportation, E-Mobility and sustainable mobility in line with Regional Policy Objective 160 Smart Mobility, including those identified in LSMATS. Objective IN O3 Digital Innovations Limerick Shannon Metropolitan Area It is an objective of the Council to continue to develop digital services and work with relevant stakeholders to enhance digital innovations and digital transformation throughout Limerick and the Limerick Shannon Metropolitan Area, as opportunities arise.

   Chapter 8: Infrastructure241 8.4.1 Broadband High speed, cost-competitive and reliable broadband underpins economic development and contributes to a good quality of life for Limerick’s communities. The absence of such infrastructure makes it significantly more difficult to retain employment, attract new jobs and limits educational and entrepreneurial opportunities. High-speed, readily available and consistent broadband is crucial for Foreign Direct Investment, indigenous entrepreneurial opportunities and provides better access to global markets, as a means to address the impacts of Brexit and other global events such as the Covid-19 Pandemic. The implementation of high-speed broadband connectivity falls within the remit of the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources. In 2012, the Department published Delivering a Connected Society – A National Broadband Plan for Ireland (NBP), to guide the rollout of broadband across Ireland. This national policy document establishes the Government’s ambition to deliver high speed, reliable and cost-effective broadband services, via fibre optic based networks, to all premises in the Country. This policy aims to eliminate disparities between rural and urban areas in terms of access to high-speed broadband. Broadband infrastructure is provided by private investment and State intervention, in areas where private companies have no plans to invest, as it is not economically viable for them to do so. This approach guarantees that rural communities have the same digital opportunities as urban communities. In Limerick, fourteen public locations in rural communities will benefit from the Broadband Connection Points (BCPs) scheme under the National Broadband Plan (NBP). These locations will receive early (150Mb) high-speed broadband connectivity and public Wi-Fi, through the roll out of the National Broadband Plan. Newcastle West, as the Key Town in the County, has been identified in the RSES (RPO 22) as requiring support for investment in incubation and ICT infrastructure, to capitalise on remote working opportunities, enterprise start-ups and up-scaling for businesses. The Council will require that open access is available to all ducting networks provided within the Plan area, to facilitate competitive telecommunications services and to safeguard roads and footpaths from excavation retrospectively in new developments. The networks will remain in the ownership of the developer until taken in charge by the Council. Thereafter, the service provider will be responsible for the telecommunications infrastructure. Objective IN O4 Broadband It is an objective of the Council to: a) Support the delivery and implementation of the National Broadband Plan and any subsequent plans. b) Encourage the provision of WiFi zones in public buildings and advance Limerick’s participation in the WiFi4EU programme (a European-wide initiative promoting free access to WiFi connectivity for citizens in public spaces) and facilitate a network of 40- 50 free public WiFi access points (APs) in Limerick City. c) Require carrier neutral, open access, multi-duct infrastructure serving new residential, commercial/business units, community hubs/centres, communal residential services and other appropriate new development (e.g. rail and road development), to be incorporated into the design and layout of new developments in Limerick. d) Require ducting for broadband fibre connections to be provided underground during the installation of services and during the carrying out of any work to roads or rail lines.

   LIMERICK DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2022-2028242 e) Ensure broadband installation shall comply with the Guidelines for NBI End Users when laying ducting to facilitate the installation of Fibre Networks on Private Property and the requirements of the National Broadband Plan 2020 and any subsequent plans. f) New development (commercial, community, leisure) or housing development exceeding four units will be required to demonstrate, in a written statement, how fibre-enabled internet is made available to users when assessing planning applications. 8.4.2 Telecommunications Support Structures, Antennae and Domestic Satellite Dishes The Council recognises the importance of high-quality telecommunication infrastructure as a prerequisite for a modern society and economy. While the advantages of a high-quality ICT infrastructure is acknowledged, these must be balanced with the need to safeguard both the urban and rural landscape, which can be significantly impacted due to the physical nature of telecommunication structures. Visual impact should be kept to a minimum, with detailed consideration of design, siting and the scope for utilising landscaping measures effectively. In considering planning applications, regard shall be had to Telecommunications Antennae and Support Structures, Guidelines for Planning Authorities, DECLG, 1996, Circular Letter Pl07/12 and the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 (as amended). These guidelines and regulations encourage the sharing or clustering of sites, as reflected in this chapter. Domestic satellite dishes can materially damage historic buildings, or deplete historic townscapes, particularly if there is a proliferation of dishes in an area, on a building or on the street frontage. While satellite dishes do not require planning permission, subject to specified conditions under the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 (as amended), these exemptions are not applicable where the building is a Protected Structure, or located in an Architectural Conservation Area (ACA), of which there are a number designated in Limerick. There is a presumption against erecting satellite dishes where they would materially affect the character and appearance of a Protected Structure, an Architectural Conservation Area (ACA), or in any other area where they could cause unacceptable affects to visual amenity. Objective IN O5 Telecommunication Support It is an objective of the Council to: a) Promote shared telecommunications infrastructure in all new developments to facilitate multiple network providers. Shared infrastructure should be made available to all broadband service providers on a non-exclusive basis to both suppliers and users of the new infrastructure. b) Work closely with the telecommunications industry during the development and deployment phase of telecommunications infrastructure to carefully manage Limerick’s road networks and minimise future road infrastructure works. c) Require co-location of antennae support structures and sites where feasible. Operators shall be required to submit documentary evidence as to the non-feasibility of this option in planning applications for new structures. d) Facilitate the public and private sector in making available where feasible and suitable, strategically located structures or sites, including those in the ownership of Limerick City and County Council, to facilitate improved telecommunications coverage if the need is sufficiently demonstrated.

   Chapter 8: Infrastructure243 e) Require best practice in both siting and design in relation to the erection of communication antennae and support infrastructure, in the interests of visual amenity and the protection of sensitive landscapes. There is a presumption against the location of antennae support structures where they would have a serious negative impact on the visual amenity of sensitive sites and locations. f) Require the de-commissioning of a telecommunications structure and its removal off-site at the operator’s expense when it is no longer required. g) Apply a presumption against erecting satellite dishes where they would materially affect the character and appearance of a Protected Structure, an Architectural Conservation Area (ACA) or in any other area where they could cause unacceptable effects on visual amenity. h) Ensure the orderly development of telecommunications throughout the County in accordance with the requirements of theTelecommunications Antennae and Support Structures, Guidelines for Planning Authorities, DECLG, 1996, except where they conflict with Circular Letter Pl07/12 which takes precedence and any subsequent guidelines. 1 Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy for Southern Region, Southern Regional Assembly 2019, page 111 8.5 Water Services and Surface Water For the purposes of the Plan, water services infrastructure refers to the provision of a potable water supply and the disposal of wastewater. The quality and extent of water services are a determinant of quality of life and a precursor to a strong economy/ business environment. These services are identified by the RSES1 as a priority for infrastructural investment as part of a holistic approach to delivering infrastructure across the Southern Region (RPO 109). As guided by the RSES, water services is one element of the selection criteria for planning to accommodate future population growth and strategic employment growth at metropolitan, regional and local levels in Limerick. In the Plan, water services is a key consideration in the settlement hierarchy and is pertinent to the zoning of lands across the city and the settlements across the County. Water infrastructure is a Strategic Investment Priority (SIP) of the NDP 2021-2030 and is aligned to implement the NPF over 10 years to provide for the anticipated population growth of the State, including Limerick City and County. One of the National Strategic Outcomes (NSO) of the NPF is the Sustainable Management of Water and Other Environmental Resources. The NPF sees this as critical to our environment and well-being. Conserving and enhancing these resources is important for future planning, including national water planning, regional wastewater management, river basement and flood risk management. Collaborating with national, regional and local bodies is crucial according to the NPF, to ensure water and environmental resources are managed properly for the future and the circular approach be applied to consumption and disposal of water. The objectives of the Limerick Development Plan must reflect the Government spatial planning policy and its investment priorities.

   LIMERICK DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2022-2028244 At a European level, the European Commission sets environmental policy and compliance standards for water and wastewater management across the EU, to safeguard quality and to ensure the sustainability of water and environmental resources. The Commission achieves this via the following policy Directives: •• The Drinking Water Directive – 98/83/ EC; •• The Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive - 91/271/EEC; and, •• The Water Framework Directive – 2000/60/EC. These Directives are transposed into Irish Law through the Drinking Water Regulations SI.122 of 2014 and the Waste Water Treatment Regulations SI.254 of 2001), which set out the standards to be met for compliance with the Directives. It is the role of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as the environmental regulator for water and wastewater services, under the EU Directives to monitor and enforce the regulations, to protect consumers and ensure the implementation of the Directives. The Health Service Executive (HSE) has a key role in assessing and advising on potential risks to public health. Access to a good quality uninterrupted water supply and wastewater disposal system is essential for public health. Irish Water are responsible for providing a safe and reliable supply of drinking water and for the collection and treatment of wastewater to their customers. 8.5.1 Water Services Act 2013 The Water Services Act 2013 established Irish Water (IW) as Ireland’s national water utility body and transferred responsibilities for public water services, delivery and operation from Local Authorities to Irish Water in January 2014. Limerick City and County Council currently acts as an agent to deliver water supply and wastewater treatment operations and provide support for Irish Water’s Capital Investment Programme in Limerick. In addition, the Council maintains and monitors a register of Group Water Schemes in the County and administer the following grant assistance programmes on behalf of the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government: i) Group Water and Wastewater Schemes through the Rural Water Multi Annual Programme and the Operational Funding Programme; ii) Private Well Grants; iii) Septic Tanks Grants; iv) Lead Replacement Grants. Irish Water is responsible for the operation of public water services including management of national water assets, maintenance of the water and wastewater system, investment and planning, managing capital projects together with customer care and billing. IW is responsible for all capital investment decisions and the implementation of the capital investment programme. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the national environmental regulator with responsibility for supervising the supply of drinking water by Irish Water and the authorisation of discharges from Irish Water’s wastewater treatment plants. The Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) is the economic regulator of public water services. The CRU’s role is to protect the interests of water consumers, ensure water services are delivered in a safe, secure and sustainable manner and that Irish Water operates in an economic and efficient manner. Objective IN O6 Water Services It is an objective of the Council to: a) Support Irish Water in the provision of water and wastewater infrastructure and services in accordance with the Service Level Agreement, until such time as the Agreement is terminated. b) Collaborate with Irish Water in the protection of water supply sources to avoid water quality deterioration and reduce the level of treatment required in the production of drinking

   Chapter 8: Infrastructure245 water, in accordance with Article 7(2) of the WFD. Protection and restoration of drinking water at the source can have co-benefits for biodiversity and climate change. c) Liaise with Irish Water during the lifetime of the Plan to secure investment in the pro-vision, extension and upgrading of the piped water distribution network and wastewater pipe network across Limerick City and County, to serve existing population and future population growth and sustain economic growth, in accordance with the requirements of the Core and Settlement Strategies. d) Collaborate with Irish Water to resolve the existing water services infrastructural constraints in Newcastle West – a Key Town designated by the RSES. e) Ensure that development proposals connecting to the public water and/or wastewater networks, now or in the future comply with Irish Water Standard Details and Codes of Practice. Where relevant, ensure developments comply with the EPA Code of Practice for Domestic Waste Water Treatment Systems 2021. f) Require future developments to connect to public water services and wastewater if available to the site. Combined water and wastewater systems will not be permitted. Consent to connect to Irish Water assets will be requested as part of the planning application process. g) Have regard to Section 28 Guidelines – Draft Water Services Guidelines for Planning Authorities, DHPLG, 2018 and any subsequent guidelines when carrying out the forward planning and development management functions of the Planning Authority. Objective IN O7 Drinking Water Source Protection It is an objective of the Council to protect both ground and surface water sources, to avoid water quality deterioration and reduce the level of treatment required in the production of drinking water, in accordance with Article 7(2) of the Water Framework Directive. i) New developments which could pose an unacceptable risk to drinking water sources will not be permitted. ii) New development should not conflict with the protection guidelines set out in the Limerick Groundwater Protection Scheme and/ or Groundwater Source Protection Zone reports. 8.5.2 Group Water Schemes and Private Water Supplies/Wells Private wells have the potential to be compromised by contamination from wastewater treatments systems/septic tanks, soakpits, agricultural land spreading, fuel storage, fertiliser storage or run-off due to extreme weather events. Private wells are not regulated under the European Communities (Drinking Water) Regulations 2014 and Irish Water has no regulatory function in this regard. Recommended separation distances between on-site wastewater treatment systems (specifically the percolation area or polishing filter) and wells or boreholes are contained in the EPA’s Code of Practice for Domestic Waste Water Treatment Systems 2021. A private well should be sufficiently constructed and sealed to prevent contamination. The Rural Water Programme facilitates the development of water services in the rural areas, to improve deficiencies in group water schemes and private supplies, where no public water scheme is available. Investment under the programme is prioritised to deliver measures such as upgrades identified in the National River Basin Management Plan, satisfying the Water Framework Directive and to meet the requirements of the Drinking Water Directive. Grants are available under the

   LIMERICK DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2022-2028246 Rural Water Programme for the carrying out of improvement works to a private water supply (a water supply providing water intended for human consumption and domestic purposes that serves only one house). The relevant Regulations are Housing (Private Water Supply Financial Assistance) Regulations 2020 (SI No. 192 of 2020). Objective IN O8 Private Water Supply It is an objective of the Council to require that in locations where a connection to an existing public water supply is not possible, or the existing supply system does not have sufficient capacity, the provision of a private water supply may be considered. The development must demonstrate that the proposed water supply meets the standards set out in EU and national legislation and guidance, would not be prejudicial to public health, or would not affect the source of an existing supply, particularly a public supply/well. Such information will be required as part of the planning application process. 8.5.3 Public Waste Water Treatment According to the 2016 Census, 61% of private households in Limerick City and County are connected directly to the public sewerage network, which is below the State average of 65.9%. Irish Water’s current wastewater treatment capacity register for County Limerick dated March 2022, states that there is capacity available in 41 no. of the 53 no. waste water treatment plants (WWTPs). These include Bunlicky and Castletroy WWTPs, which serve the Limerick City Metropolitan Municipal District. These WWTPs require some upgrading and it is envisaged by Irish Water that with the completion of these upgrades, there will be sufficient spare capacity to accommodate the projected growth in Limerick City and Suburbs (in Limerick), Mungret and Annacotty, as set out in the RSES and the Core Strategy, over the lifetime of the Plan, subject to planning and other approvals. It is noted that currently there is no spare WWTP capacity available in the Key Town of Newcastle West. However, the upgrade of the plant to provide capacity is included in Irish Water’s 2020- 2024 Investment Plan. WWTP upgrades are also planned for Abbeyfeale, Adare and Dromcollogher. Other capital investment projects by Irish Water are ongoing to provide WWTPs in the previously untreated agglomerations of Foynes and Glin. Minor WWTP upgrades and improvements are also continually carried out on a nationally prioritised basis through Irish Water’s programmes. Further upgrade(s) may also be progressed under the Small Towns and Villages Growth Programme, intended to provide capacity in Irish Water’s treatment plants in smaller settlements, which would not otherwise be provided for in the current Investment Plan. Irish Water is preparing a Drainage Area Plan (DAP) to be completed in 2024 for the Limerick City and Castletroy agglomerations. Limerick City and County Council will collaborate with Irish Water to ensure planned growth in the strategic growth areas and elsewhere in the city is taken account of in this study.

   Chapter 8: Infrastructure247 Wastewater Network Development Plans are currently being prepared by IW for the Limerick Shannon Metropolitan Area (in Limerick) and Newcastle West. As part of the Mungret Local Infrastructure Housing Activation Fund project (LIHAF), Irish Water is working with the Council to provide wastewater network infrastructure in the Mungret area. Objective IN O9 Public Waste Water It is an objective of the Council to: a) Ensure adequate and appropriate wastewater infrastructure is available to cater for existing and proposed development, in collaboration with Irish Water, to avoid any deterioration in the quality of receiving waters and to ensure that discharge meets the requirements of the Water Framework Directive. b) Require all new developments to connect to public wastewater infrastructure, where available and to encourage existing developments that are in close proximity to a public sewer to connect to that sewer. These will be subject to a connection agreement with Irish Water and evidence of this agreement will be required as part of any planning application. c) Require all new development to provide separate foul and surface water drainage systems, to maximise the capacity of existing collection systems for foul water. d) Apply a presumption against any development that requires the provision of private wastewater treatment facilities (i.e. Developer Provided Infrastructure) other than single house systems and in very exceptional circumstances. Objective IN O10 Trade Discharge It is an objective of the Council to support Irish Water in the promotion of effective management of trade discharges to sewers in order to maximise the capacity of existing sewer networks and minimise detrimental impacts on sewage treatment works. 8.5.4 Private Waste Water Treatment Systems, Domestic Wastewater Treatment Systems (DWWTS) including Septic Tanks According to the 2016 Census, 30.8% of private households rely on septic tank systems to dispose of their wastewater in Limerick. Limerick City and County Council is the designated Water Authority for the assessment and approval of individual private domestic on-site wastewater treatment systems in Limerick. The main method of sewage disposal in rural areas is by means of individual septic tanks and proprietary wastewater treatment systems. The requirements for these systems are set out in the EPA Code of Practice for Domestic Waste Water Treatment Systems 2021. All planning applications for rural dwellings on un-serviced sites are required to demonstrate compliance with the Code of Practice. For larger developments, the requirements are contained in the EPA Wastewater Treatment Manual – Treatment Systems for Small Communities, Business, Leisure Centres and Hotels (1999) and EPA Guidance on the Authorisation of Discharges to Groundwater (EPA 2011). The provision of temporary wastewater treatment facilities for new developments will only be considered where a permanent solution has already been identified and committed to by Irish Water, but has not yet been implemented. The provision of such temporary facilities will only be considered in very limited circumstances, where the solution is environmentally sustainable and would not affect the quality status of receiving waters. Adequate provision will be made by the developer for the operation and maintenance of the temporary facility for the duration of its required existence and thereafter for its decommissioning and removal from site.

    LIMERICK DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2022-2028248 Objective IN O11 Private Waste Water Treatment It is an objective of the Council to: a) Promote the changeover from septic tanks to the public foul water collection networks where feasible and to strongly discourage the provision of individual septic tanks and domestic wastewater treatment systems, in order to minimise the risk of groundwater pollution. b) Ensure single house wastewater treatment systems in those areas not served by a public foul sewerage system comply with the EPA Code of Practice for Domestic Waste Water Treatment Systems 2021 as may be amended or updated. c) Require non-domestic wastewater treatment systems in those areas not served by a public foul sewerage system to demonstrate full compliance with EPA Wastewater Treatment Manuals ( Treatment Systems for Small Communities, Business, Leisure Centres and Hotels) as maybe amended or updated. d) Ensure all private wastewater treatment systems shall be located entirely within the site boundary. Under no circumstances shall single domestic treatments units or septic tanks be shared between dwellings. e) Ensure that private wastewater treatment facilities, where permitted, are operated in compliance with their wastewater discharge license, in order to protect water quality. 8.5.5 Storm Water and Surface Water Sustainable management of water, waste and other environmental resources is supported in both National Strategic Outcome 9 of the NPF and the RSES. National Policy Objectives 5 of the NPF also advocates enhanced water quality and resource management, by way of flood risk management, consideration of River Basin Management Plan objectives and use of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) (Further information on definition of SuDS below). Storm water flows can have a significant detrimental impact on the available capacity of combined sewer networks and at treatment plants. Inadequate treatment of surface waters from carparks and hardstands can result in pollution of the receiving watercourses. There are many approaches to management of surface water that take account of water quantity (flooding), water quality (pollution), biodiversity (wildlife and plants) and amenity and these are collectively referred to as Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS). The use of SuDS to address surface water and its diversion from combined sewers is encouraged, in particular, in infill/brownfield sites and higher density areas as appropriate. Green roofs are recognised as a mechanism to attenuate storm water run-off from sites. They are made up of layers of vegetation, which create areas for growth and water storage and reduces the amount of surface water running off a roof. Development will only be permitted where the Council is satisfied that suitable measures have been proposed that mitigate the impact of drainage, through the achievement of control of run-off quantity and quality, while enhancing amenity and habitat. In particular, the requirements of the SuDS Manual by the UK’s Construction Industry Research and Information Association (CIRIA) shall be followed unless specifically exempted by the Council (see also Section 11.3.11 SuDS). Any site-specific solutions to surface water drainage systems shall meet the requirements of the Water Framework Directive and the River Basin Management Plan 2018 – 2021 and Water Quality in Ireland 2013 - 2018 (2019), or any updated version of these documents.
