- Chapter 11: Development Management Standards345 11.6.1.1 Commercial and Industrial Noise Where there is the potential for environmental noise to be generated from a commercial or industrial facility (e.g. fans, machinery), it will be necessary to submit a Noise Assessment in accordance with BS 4142:2014+A1:2019, or any other relevant standards, guidance or best practise. The likelihood of adverse or significant adverse effects at noise sensitive receptors should be established and details submitted of any proposed noise mitigation measures. Any noise assessment should be prepared by a suitably qualified professional with sufficient expertise. 11.6.2 Retail Development 11.6.2.1 Assessment of Retail Applications Applications for new retail development shall: •• Be in line with the role and function of the retail centre in the Plan and accord with the scale and type of retailing identified for that location; •• Accord with the fundamental objective to support the vitality and viability of the retail centre and must demonstrate compliance with the sequential approach; •• Provide a detailed Retail Impact Assessment (RIA) and a Transport Impact Assessment (TIA) to accompany the application where appropriate, having regard to location, scale of development proposed and the retail hierarchy; •• Be of a high quality and incorporate layouts that encourage active and engaging frontages where appropriate; •• Contribute to creating a sense of place; •• Explore opportunities to provide a mix of uses to benefit the vitality of the surrounding area; •• There shall be a general presumption against large out-of-town retail centres. 11.6.2.2 Takeaways/Restaurants/Kiosk/ Popup (Container) Trading Units Takeaway premises are often of concern to people who live close by and indeed those living in the wider area, when noise and disturbance is generated by increased pedestrian and vehicular traffic drawn into an area. In order to maintain an appropriate mix of uses and protect night-time amenities in a particular area and to promote a healthier and more active lifestyle, it is an objective of Limerick City and County Council to prevent an excessive concentration of takeaways and to ensure that the intensity of any proposed takeaway is in keeping with both the scale of the building and the pattern of development in the area. The provision of such facilities will be strictly controlled, having regard to the following, where appropriate: •• The effect of noise, general disturbance, hours of operation, litter and fumes on the amenities of nearby residents; •• The developer will be requested to submit as part of the planning application an Odour Impact Assessment, prepared by a suitably qualified professional with sufficient expertise to demonstrate odour abatement solutions, through appropriate modelling and monitoring procedures when operational; •• The need to safeguard the vitality and viability of shopping areas and to maintain a suitable mix of retail uses; •• Traffic considerations; •• The number/frequency of such facilities in the area, particularly in close proximity to schools; •• The need to integrate the design of ventilation systems into the design of the building; •• That all takeaways provide and maintain a suitable waste bin outside their premises during hours of business; •• The number and frequency of such facilities within a 1km radius of the proposed development;
- LIMERICK DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2022-2028346 •• The context and character of the street, where the aim is to maintain and improve the vitality of the shopping experience, by encouraging a range of convenience and/or comparison retail shops. The Council recognises the rise in ‘container’ takeaway cafés across the City and County. The container café is a permanently ‘portable development’ with its own water supply and power generation. The provision of such facilities will be strictly controlled. In such cases, the onus is on the applicant to demonstrate that such proposed development will not be detrimental to the residential, environmental quality, or the established character and function of the area. Matters that shall be taken into account by the Planning Authority in assessing planning proposals for these uses include, but are not limited to the following: •• The amenity of neighbouring residents and occupiers; •• Hours of operation; •• Traffic management; •• Frontage treatment and impact on streetscape; •• Proposed signage. 11.6.2.3 Off-Licences/Betting Shops Off-licences and betting shops should generally be located in Limerick’s commercial areas. The Planning Authority will seek to ensure that the quantum of off-licences/ betting shops is not disproportionate to the overall size and character of the area. However, the number and control of offlicences/betting shops will primarily be a licensing issue. In any consideration of proposals for offlicences/betting shops, regard to the amenities of nearby residents - i.e. noise, general disturbance, hours of operation and litter, will be paramount. Any application for betting shops shall include details as to the location and size of any/all satellite dishes required to serve the unit, in addition to proposed signage and advertising.

A well-designed shop front forms an integral part of the overall building relating in scale, proportion and vertical alignment as well as to adjoining buildings. Advertising is an integral (not dominant) part of the facade and should be designed in this manner. To achieve this, the Planning Authority will assess a planning application having regard to: •• Materials: The use of natural materials such as timber, stone and plaster, which complement the architectural character of the building itself and reflect existing finishes in the streetscape will be favoured; •• Advertising: Ground floor level advertising will be permitted while restricting advertising above this level. (Advertising aimed at the pedestrian rather than the passing motorist). Advertising should be in scale with and not dominate nor interfere with features of the shop front. The numbers of projecting signs (particularly brand projecting signs) will be restricted. The use of traditional hand painted signs is preferable. The Planning Authority will not favour the use of plastic (PVC, perspex) and internally illuminated signage; •• Shutters: Applications involving roller shutters, unless of the open grille or demountable type, painted to match the existing shop front will not be permitted. The roller shutters should be located inside the shop front wherever possible, in the interests of visual amenity; •• External lighting: The external lighting shall be sympathetic in design and materials to the shop front and the existing streetscape; •• Corporate Image: Developments involving the use of corporate logos/advertising/ shop fronts should be in accordance with good civic design and with existing streetscape. 11.6.4.2 Signage Advertising will be required to be sympathetic with their surroundings in terms of scale, design, materials and colour.
