Caibidil:
PROPOSAL: Modify Residential Development Objective TR 12 to specifically reference the need to provide permeability and connectivity in all housing developments. Suggested wording: “Facilitate the development of 2,087 residential units within the town boundary ensuring permeability between developments and connectivity to the urban core by active means”
RATIONALE: Recent social housing developments have been insufficiently connected to the town centre by any means other than private vehicle. The new development in Lohercannon is an example which we reference where no additional measures to enable active travel were a condition of the development proceeding.
