How interesting, Sharon ! Modern-day OS maps of Clare were flagged to us some time back by a member of the List but they then ceased to be accessible to The Great Unwashed online. Here they are again. I couldn't find a root map directory which offered access but I see that if one substitutes Killaloe for Kilkishen in the URL (i.e. http://www.clare.ie/Planning/DevelopmentPlanMaps/East_Clare_Settlement/killa loe.pdf ) you get a plan of Killaloe. Scariff and Ogonelloe don't work, however. But further juggling with the URL gets me a map of Tubber at http://www.clare.ie/Planning/DevelopmentPlanMaps/North_Clare_Settlement/Tubb er.pdf and Ruan at http://www.clare.ie/Planning/DevelopmentPlanMaps/North_Clare_Settlement/Ruan .pdf and Corofin at http://www.clare.ie/Planning/DevelopmentPlanMaps/North_Clare_Settlement/Coro fin.pdf And so it goes on.

These maps are for planning purposes and are part of the Local Area Plan. You should read the text in conjunction with the maps in order to established what is allowed under the different headings. County Clare has what is called a development plan for the total area: Then the county is sub-divided into: North Clare, South Clare, East Clare, South Clare Economic Corridor, Ennis Environs Plan & Kilrush Plan. All County Clare is now what we call zoned: Zoning dictates what type of development takes place in different areas. Firstly each Village will allow for lands to be developed as housing, community (schools etc.), reserved for infrastructure (road widening, water treatment works) or other settlement land. Generally you are not allowed to build in the Countryside and you are encouraged into the Towns & Villages. Unfortunately the infrastructure are not in place in the villages. Find that difficult to understand , these plans are causing untold grief back here in Clare (Farmers sons are not allowed to build on their own farms). Larry.
