(Download Butlerstown (adobe .pdf, 352 kbs)  Map Here) and also download the pages relating to Zoning Objectives (word .doc, 183 kbs) . The Zoning Objectives and Landuse Zoning Matrix need to be used when looking at the individual settlement zonings.

Butlerstown has been facing increasing development pressure over the past few years due to its proximity to a number of significant existing and proposed developments, and services.

Services
The service base of Butlerstown includes a primary school, church, community hall, and a bring centre.   Butlerstown is also located within close proximity to:
- the IDA industrial estate;
- the IDA business and technology park;
- WIT's new campus;
- Employment on the city's western edge;
- Waterford City's new Southern Link road

Infrastructure
The public water supply of Butlerstown is adequate for existing demands, although poor pressure and leakage occurs.  It is planned to improve and augment future supply through the East Waterford Water Supply Scheme. The area is not served by public sewerage.

Any constraint to development is associated with the infrastructural deficit as outlined above and development proposals will need to cater for this in any applications for permission along with satisfying the Planning Authority as to the standards for new development at Section 9.2.

These matters will have to be discussed and approved with the Sanitary Services Section of Waterford County Council, prior to any development proposal being submitted for Planning Permission.

Development Strategy
The development strategy for Butlerstown is as indicated on the Land Use Zoning Map.  The policies and objectives of the Development Standards, as set out in Chapter 9, shall be used as guidelines to inform development proposals.
