Open Space Sports & Recreations Study
Open Space Sports & Recreations Study
The Kilkenny Open Space, Sports and Recreation Study was commissioned by Kilkenny County Council and Kilkenny Borough Council to provide guidance on the future development of open space, sports and amenity policies in Co. Kilkenny. It represents a continuation of the positive approach of the County Council to the development of open space and amenity areas demonstrated in the County Development Plan 2002. However, with the continuing growth of cities such as Kilkenny and the pressure to plan for appropriate amenity facilities to meet future demands this Study has been prepared to provide detailed guidance on both the quality and quantity of open space, sports and amenity facilities that should be planned for.
As such the Study will advise all public and private bodies in the area of the open space, sports and amenity provisions that should be considered when planning new development areas.
Open space performs a wide range of roles in enhancing the liveability of cities, towns and rural villages. Protecting open space for its amenity, ecological, educational, social and community benefits are now well established as planning principles among planning authorities and wider interests. The protection of open space is consistent with the principles of sustainable development.
The Study is important in this regard as it applies both qualitative and quantitative assessments to the open space, sports and amenity facilities easily accessible in County Kilkenny. The study has provided for extensive research and surveys into elements as diverse as the:
o The quality of open spaces,
o The availability of sporting and amenity facilities,
o The quality of sporting and amenity facilities,
o The opportunities for improved amenities and resources.
The study represents a comprehensive and strategic approach to the development of open space, sports and amenity areas. It considers existing policies and provisions, statutory objectives and policies at both National, Regional and Local Levels.
