Killadysert
Tourism Killadysert is ideally located on the Shannon Estuary Way which affords significant opportunities to maximise tourism assets in the Village and to develop additional facilities and services for visitors in tandem with other key settlements along the Shannon Estuary Way. There is considerable potential for the Village to develop its tourism product, capitalising on its convenient and attractive location. It is an objective: • To facilitate the continued development of existing tourism assets and support the development of additional tourist facilities and services along the Shannon Estuary Way; and • To support and facilitate the sustainable use of the Estuary by the cruise ship industry and its tourism potential for Killadysert (See Chapter 12 Shannon Estuary, Volume 1) The following areas have been zoned for Tourism and Leisure uses: MAR1 Harbour and Quayside Area The quay at Killadysert (RPS 582) has potential for tourism and leisure-related development and in particular Killadysert Pier provides an opportunity for enhanced land/sea access and associated infrastructure. This site is reserved for the future development of the pier and land-based facilities associated with water-based commercial activities and for tourism and leisure uses. It is important that any development proposals for water-based commercial activity are not detrimental to the tourism and leisure potential of the harbour. For the period of this Plan the provision of accommodation in the form of holiday homes shall not, in general, be considered favourably on lands zoned for maritime uses in Killadysert. Any development of the harbour and quayside area must ensure that there are no adverse effects on the site integrity of the Lower River Shannon SAC and River Shannon and River Fergus Estuaries SPA, or the integrity of any other European site as a result of the proposed development. TOU1 Land East of Quay Road This site is located on the eastern side of the Village and is bounded by the harbour area to the south and the access road to the harbour to the west. It has been zoned to make provision for mixed use, tourism related development, which will bring people and revenue to the area in a sustainable manner.
