Chapter 5: Rural Housing

  • I am proposing that the areas around Firies and Currow should be zoned ‘Rural Areas under Urban Influence” and not “Significant Urban Influence” like is proposed in the CDP.

 

  • Can it please be clarified if Cromane is a “Rural Area Under Significant Urban Influence” as stated on the GIS map, or if it is indeed classed as “Other Rural Areas” as stated in the written statement 5.5.1.3 ??

 

  • KCDP 5-12 C) should take accommodate people working in other sectors such as tourism and not just those in agriculture and marine. We have generations of people who have worked in different industries in Kerry for example tourism who are being discriminated against by this guideline.

 

  • KCDP 5-12 D) should be changed to the following “Persons who are intrinsically linked to their local area going back 12 years in which they wish to build a first time home for their permanent occupation. This would be subject to a 12 year occupancy clause.”

 

  • That the occupancy clause would be kept at 7 years for “Rural Area Under Urban Influence” but that it be included in the plan that people who can prove they are in financially difficulty will be accommodated in the disposing of their property.
