Lemybrien

Lemybrien is located on the N25 (Killarney - Rosslare) approximately 28kms from Waterford City and 16kms from Dungarvan. The longer established development in the settlement is located along the N25 and to the north of same. However the most recent housing estate development has taken place at the southern end of the village.

Services
Services in Lemybrien include a public house, shop/ post office, a petrol service station, civic amenity site, bus shelter, a GAA club and a garda station. Other everyday services are easily available in Dungarvan.

Infrastructure
Lemybrien is served by a public water supply but this needs to be upgraded, and there is little spare capacity in the constructed wetlands system, for treating wastewater.

The council will require that all housing estate planning applications include proposals for the sustainable treatment of wastewater and can provide an adequate supply of water. Any such proposal should be discussed with the Sanitary Services Section of Waterford County Council prior to the submission of a planning application.

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

Development Strategy
The majority of existing development in Lemybrien is essentially linear in form, straddling the N25 and Regional Road R676. The future development of Lemybrien will be informed by the development strategy 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 reflect the capacity of the community to assimilate the development.

Any development proposal to develop lands adjacent to the GAA field and Open Space zoning in this locality shall make provision for pedestrian linkages to these facilities.
