Comment from Tidy Towns Adjudication Report 2009
"The Built Environment of Ballymore Eustace is a major asset to the village. In the view of the adjudicator, the strength of Ballymore Eustace is a combination of factors which taken together give a very distinctive and one of the most attractive villages in the county. Firstly, the number of high quality buildings on view mean that the streetscapes are original and distinctive – of particular note are Headons Bar, the Ballymore Inn, the Art Gallery and Paddy Murphys. Secondly, the fact that so many historical buildings have been retained means that the terraces of buildings are intact. This is a rarity in modern Ireland, particularly in the Greater Dublin Area and one hopes that the buildings can continue to be preserved. In view of the number of Protected Structures identified in the village, it is recommended that the option of establishing an Architectural Conservation Area in Ballymore Eustance should be explored with Kildare County Council."

"VRS 2: To facilitate sustainable population growth
of the identified villages with growth levels
of up to 25% over the Plan period"

"VRS 6 To generally control the scale of individual development proposals to 10-15% of the existing housing stock of any village or settlement over the lifetime of the County Development Plan in accordance with the Sustainable Residential Development in Urban Areas Guidelines (2009). For example, for a village of 800 people, the typical pattern and grain of existing development suggests that any individual scheme for new housing should not be larger than 26 - 40 residential unit"

EXTRACT:

"1. It is considered that the proposed development is generally acceptable in principle; however the planning authority has serious concerns regarding the visual impact of the overall height, scale, proportion, roof pitch and design of the proposed development within the context of the existing streetscape and ground levels of the street. Having regard to the special character of Ballymore Eustace village, the prominent location of the proposed development fronting onto Main Street, the highly visible northern side elevation and the architectural merit of the adjoining structures to the north of the site (NIAH Ref 11820013), it is considered that a revised proposal of a significantly higher architectural quality is required.
