French term or phrase: "chantiers immobiliers" & "installation anarchiques"
Ainsi, tout au long d'un long ruban d'histoire et de paysages envoûtants, le Connemara est loin d'avoir épuisé ses charmes. Les terres y sont incultivables du fait de leur composition minérale, point de chantiers immobiliers ou d'installation anarchiques en vue. Une aubaine pour les million d'amoureux de cette contrée.

Clarification request(s) and response
TesCor - (asker): 6:40pm Jul 3, 2004: to Hodierne: The way I saw anarchiques here is that the installations (I'll come up with a better word) are aimlessly scattered. No real order, no set plan, they are kinda placed here and there. There must be a word or expession for this.
hodierne: 8:33pm Jul 3, 2004: You are right; "installations sauvages" seems to refer to unauthorised gypsies and traveller camps(see links pasted below, both in French and English). Could it be what your author had in mind ?????? -
hodierne: 8:44pm Jul 3, 2004: Unauthorised camps, encampments maybe ? -
hodierne: 8:51pm Jul 3, 2004: Oops, sorry, I forgot that what we're talking here is *installations anarchiques* and not *sauvages*............! So let's forget about it all. -

building sites and sporadic development
Explanation:
"sites" is plural and "sporadic development" is the term used by Irish Planning dept. for houses scattered around the countryside outside of existing settelements. "Ribbon development" is used to describe the same phenomenon if it exists along a country road leading out of an existing settlement.

building site & unauthorised property development

Explanation:
no building plot/premises or..... in sight. I think that *anarchique* refers to sauvage, as in unauthorised building, but preferred the use of property development to avoid having building twice.

or no building site or ..... as far as the eye can see.
Property development is not that poetic......... I am sure you\'ll think of something better.

chantiers immobiliers" & "installation anarchiques ... typo ???

Explanation:
It really doesn't make sense. Were they really talking about "installations anarchiques" (which I don't find logical to start with), I would have expected "point de chantiers immobiliers, VOIRE MEME d'installation anarchique(s) en vue", or something like that.

I therefore suspect a typo. I think it would be perfectly feasible for a typist to read a hand-written "électrique" as "anarchique", a badly written "tr" being easily read as "h", for instance. So no ugly transmission lines through the countryside, no smoke-belching power plants, no distribution network that would draw in the housing projects ... Otherwise "technique". That is to say, no housing projects or development/utilities projects on the horizon"
