Sligo Docklands Development Plan + Backround to the Proposal

Sligo Development Plan makes provision for the future Regeneration of the Docklands. Sligo Borough Council has previously published a Document which indicates Potential for the Docklands (2007). This Framework suggests a Feature Tower, a Riverside Park, a New Transport Hub, a possible Light Rail route, and Anchor buildings ( ie. Conference Centre ). My Proposal extrapolates on this in terms of Brief Development , Masterplan Layout and Architectural Form. This particular variation of the earlier Masterplan attempts to envisage an Urban Precinct based on more Traditional Building Forms and Architectural Treatments, where the Individual Buildings are Congruent and Complimentary to each other

An Anchor Building such as a Satellite Building of Sligo ‘Atlantic University’ could be placed at the Core of the Masterplan. The surrounding Buildings might consist of Hotel Accommodation, Tourism oriented, Residential, Commercial, and a Business Quarter Further West to close the Link with the Existing Industrial Estate.
