Draft Galway City
Development
Plan 2023-2029
The five-year cycle of city development plans will see a new Galway City Development Plan for 2023- 2029. The previous plans – the 2005-2011 and 2017-2023 plans – brought fundamental and unwarranted intrusions on the Roscam Peninsula. The results of which were a diminution of the overall quality of the existing cultural, archaeological, recreational, and environmental assets in the area. These assets are of high amenity importance to the established suburbs of Renmore, Ballybane and Merlin Park, and outer suburb of Doughiska. The Covid19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of these assets to these surroundings communities and reinforced the role that quality recreational and open spaces play in sustaining community passive and active wellbeing during times of crisis
The Roscam Peninsula provides one of the few remaining large contiguous green networks within the eastern costal area of Galway City and is an important wildlife and environmental asset reflected in the presence of no 2 European protected sites (Natura 2000 sites) – the Galway Bay SAC and the Inner Galway Bay SPA
