The purpose of this submission is to firstly provide the Planning Authority with a locational context of our client’s lands by identifying their strategic position within close proximity to the Kinvara village centre in an established residential setting. The submission will then focus on a review of the relevant sections of the Draft Galway County Development Plan 2022-2028 and demonstrate the merit of the minor extension of the Kinvara Settlement boundary to include the subject site and the resultant zoning of the lands as R- Residential (Phase 1).
