Masterplanning

We enjoy being of service in the longer term planning of land use and facilities.

MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT:

Examples;

Castlelands Village, Mallow . Following representations, the Planning Authority zoned a 22 hectare landholding for “mixed use development” subject to a Master Plan. Before any development could commence, the Masterplan had to be submitted and agreed with the Planning Authority. This was achieved and the Landholding is c.50% built out now to the approved Masterplan.
Kilcreene Village, Kilkenny : Following Representations over a two year period, mixed use zoning has been achieved on a c. 13 hectare landholding. The Development will be subject to Agreement for Masterplan. This current project includes the development of a Linear Public Park along the Breagagh River involving our Landscape Architect and significant Roads/Traffic Engineering issues in relation to the planned Inner Relief Road.
Leggetsrath/Carlow Road Roundabout Lands, Kilkenny : We have recently achieved a “mixed use” zoning on a site where we acted for several owners in a concerted Submission to the Planning Authority. This frees up the development potential of the subject lands to an approved Masterplan.

CAMPUS PLANNING:

HEALTHCARE:

Examples;

St. Luke’s General Hospital Campus, Kilkenny; James O’Donoghue worked for an 18 month period (in a former employment) on the Protective Development Control Plan with Stephenson Associates/Llewellyn Davies Weeks. This Plan has been steadily implemented over the last two decades.
St. Canices Hospital, Kilkenny; Peter Bluett has provided ongoing architectural assistance to the HSE in relation to the phased upgrading works to a masterplan at St. Canices Hospital.
Gorey District Hospital; We formulated the Development Control Plan for Gorey District Hospital, Co. Wexford.

Stradavoher Retail/Business Park : Bluett & O'Donoghue Architects acted for SFADCo in a number of redevelopments over the past two decades; the facilities for GMX/ Moulinex, Tipperary Candy, Jobst, etc. The entire property was acquired by private investors and Bluett & O'Donoghue Architects acted in relation to follow-up masterplanning and planning applications.
