Population & Zoning Target

The Mid West Regional Planning Guidelines 2010-2022 have allocated a population target of an additional 32,800 people for County Limerick up to the year 2022.
 Population for the Mid-West will be allocated through this strategy and the information to hand at the time of the preparation of this plan sees the NPF allocating an additional 56,000 people to the Limerick City & Environs Area. This population allocation is to be divided between Limerick City and the Metropolitan areas of Castletroy, Dooradoyle and suburbs within the administrative boundary of Clare County Council but within the functional area of Limerick City.

12,320 population over the next 24 years resulting in: - 513 additional people in Castletroy per annum - 3,080 additional people in Castletroy over the plan period (6 years) - 1,232 houses required (on the basis of a household size of 2.5) - 30.8 hectares residential lands required over the lifetime of the plan (based on 40 units per hectare) - Add headroom of 50% as set out in the Draft National Planning Framework Implementation Road Map 2018 = 46 hectares Total amount of land required for residential development 46 hectares of land.

Passivhaus Design Principles

There are 2 fundamental approaches to building design. Active and Passive Design. Active design is burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas to provide comfortable living space. By burning these fossil fuels it provides the home with artificial light and heat to maintain a comfortable living environment. this has a major impact on the environment as it releases emissions within the atmosphere.  There is now a bigger push to increase a more suitable environment and by achieving this, there is more emphasis and passive design. Passive design is effectively solar gain which maximizes the heat from the sun and provides natural light into the home. this reduces the amount of energy used within a home and reduces the running cost. The necessary need for solar panels installed within the home is to take the heat from the sun and provide hot water in the home all year round. Orientation:   It is effectively designing a building that is facing the sun with large glazed windows to ...

Water Supply

For my house I have went for an indirect cold water supply system as it can reserve the supply of water if mains fail. There is constant pressure on all taps, except the kitchen tap and there is also an overflow fitting fitted to storage tank to prevent water damage due to overflow.  The indirect cold water supply system directs the mains water coming into the house in two directions, one up to a storage tank or the cistern in the attic and the other to the kitchen tap. It is fed off to individual appliances from the cistern. The only outlet coming directly from the mains is the kitchen tap. This tap is the source of clean drinking water for the household. The tap is also the only high-pressure outlet in the system.  I have chosen the indirect hot water supply because it reduces stress on boiler due to regulated temperatures. There is no build up of limescale as the same water is being reused and radiators can be connected to the system. The indirect system is much more common...
