Tullyallen Development

Tullyallen Residential Development, Drogheda, Louth

Tullyallen is a mixed density residential scheme on the western outskirts of Drogheda adjacent to the M1 motorway. MosArt prepared both the landscape master plan and a Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment for the scheme. This had to have consideration for the high visibility of the proposed development from a national motorway and the important heritage landscape of the Boyne Valley.

Project Description:

The quality of Public Realm and Open Space is increasingly regarded as a key issue for the success of residential schemes. The residential development in Tullyallen offered the opportunity to demonstrate innovative solutions for special arrangements, circulation, bio-diversity and community. The principle objectives of the landscape design proposals for the scheme were as follows:

Creation of individually designed quality outdoor spaces for all residents.
Generous outdoor and community areas with active recreational facilities.
Safe, attractive streets, squares and open spaces with pedestrian priority and innovative play areas.
Creation a well connected environment.
Integration of existing habitats and land features.
Enhancement of habitat diversity through extensive open spaces, planting coverage and the use of native and indigenous species.
Incorporation with low impact materials and sustainable drainage and water management systems.
