   55 Planning Guidelines Appendix 4: Ribbon Development These guidelines recommend against the creation of ribbon development for a variety of reasons relating to road safety, future demands for the provision of public infrastructure as well as visual impacts. Other forms of development, such as clustered development, well set back from the public road and served by an individual entrance can be used to overcome these problems in facilitating necessary development in rural areas. In assessing individual housing proposals in rural areas planning authorities will therefore in some circumstances need to form a view as to whether that proposal would contribute to or exacerbate ribbon development. Taking account of the above and the dispersed nature of existing housing in many rural areas, areas characterised by ribbon development will in most cases be located on the edges of cities and towns and will exhibit characteristics such as a high density of almost continuous road frontage type development, for example where 5 or more houses exist on any one side of a given 250 metres of road frontage. Whether a given proposal will exacerbate such ribbon development or could be considered will depend on: • The type of rural area and circumstances of the applicant, • The degree to which the proposal might be considered infill development, and • The degree to which existing ribbon development would be extended or whether distinct areas of ribbon development would coalesce as a result of the development. Planning authorities will need to arrive at a balanced and reasonable view in the interpretation of the above criteria taking account of local circumstances, including the planning history of the area and development pressures.
