(Download Grange (adobe .pdf, 241 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.

Services
Centred on a primary school, the settlement includes a new residential development and a number of long-established dwellings. The settlement is detached from, but in close proximity to, many of its services which straddle the N25; including a church, shop and post office that are approximately 800m to the northeast, and a Glanbia Store, approximately 900m to the north.

Infrastructure
The wastewater treatment system serving the council housing development has a population equivalent of 75 and has additional capacity for approximately 20 houses.  Any proposals to construct a housing estate development should be discussed with the Sanitary Services Section of Waterford County Council prior to the submission of a planning application as the council will require that all housing estate planning applications include proposals for the sustainable treatment of wastewater and provide an adequate supply of water.

The council will encourage prospective developers to enter into partnership agreements to deliver the infrastructure that will facilitate estate development.

Development Strategy
The development strategy for Grange 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.
 
In order to ensure the settlement is protected from in-appropriately scaled residential development the council will require that the phasing of schemes reflects the capacity of the community to assimilate the development.
