Relevant Matter Zoning or development

Public Policy Area Development and Zoning

Period 1 May, 2016 to 31 Aug, 2016

Specific Details An application was made by an individual to have 9 acres of newly purchased land adjacent to a Monastic Site rezoned from Agricultural to LDR after the Draft Galway City Development Plan 2017-2023 was published. I e-mailed the Galway City Council Management Team and the Elected Members of Galway City Council outlining my reasons why this rezoning should not be granted. I acted on behalf of both myself and my husband Joseph Cosgrove.

Intended results To prevent the land being rezoned to LDR as it is associated with a protected, very unique and highly historical site of the city of Galway which includes a Round Tower and graveyard.
