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 maintaining the current R-Residential (Phase 1) zoning of the subject site under the Kinvara Local Area Plan 2005-2011.
