The Living City initiative focuses on the regeneration of retail and commercial districts and encouraging people to live in the historic centres of Cork, Dublin, Galway, Kilkenny, Limerick and Waterford.
A Local Area Plan is a legal document and is a public statement that provides more detailed planning policies, than the City Development Plan, for areas in the city that are expected to experience significant development and change.
Salthill is home to over 60 independent and growing businesses, ranging from food and beverage, to hotels, IT and leisure, that have flourished over many years.
Situated between the wild Atlantic Ocean and Galway City, Salthill has a mix of everything from small independent shops and tourist activities, together with magnificent views of Galway Bay, the Clare Hills and Aran Islands on the horizon across the formidable ocean.
In order to create a successful vision and framework plan for the future, it is essential to gain an understanding of the needs, ambitions and wishes of local people. Looking to the future is an important exercise – thinking about our children’s generation and the generations to come will help us to create a long-term view on how Salthill will evolve. The preparation of a framework plan for the Salthill Seafront and Village is a timely opportunity to shape a long-term vision which embraces wider priorities, maximising opportunities for Salthill as part its dynamic Galway context.
To apply for planning permission you must complete a planning application and submit it, together with the required documents and the appropriate fee, to the planning department of the local authority to which your application relates.
The purpose of pre-planning consultation is to afford applicants the opportunity to seek advice from the Planning Authority on a proposed development. This advice can include indicating the relevant objectives and policies of the Development Plan that have a bearing on the decision of the application.
