Land use Zoning Objectives North Tipperary County Development Plan 2010 (as varied) The purpose of land-use zoning is to indicate the development management objectives of the Council for all zoned lands within the County Development Plan boundary. This ensures that development is guided towards the right location and enhances both commercial stability and the environment of the county. Land-use zoning categories are indicated in this Plan (as varied) and are set out below. The land-use Zoning Matrix is intended as a general guideline in assessing the acceptability or otherwise of development proposals, although the listed uses are not exhaustive. Factors such as density, height, massing, traffic generation, public health, design criteria, visual amenity, and potential nuisance by way of noise, odour and pollution are also significant and relevant to the proper planning and development of the area. The land use zoning objectives should be read in conjunction with the Village Plans and associated maps. Phase 1 and Phase 2 Lands Lands certain settlement centres have been zoned Phase 1 and Phase 2. Phase 1 lands relate to lands to be developed up to 2016 and Phase 2 lands relates to land which will be available for development between 2016 and 2022, subject to Phase 1 lands being developed in the interim.
