To support the necessary and needed infrastructure within neighbouring Grangecastle with small to medium sub-supplier business’s, to support job growth within Adamstown and Lucan to meet the objectives / Ethos of nearby Adamstown where residents both work and live in the area reducing need for transport. Currently the Adamstown development has employment primarily in service business’s such as shops, cinemas etc but little in the way of small manufacturing or other businesses.
Area should not be zoned residential because
This area is isolated by park from Clonborrris with no easy access. It will be neither in Clonburris or Adamstown or Lucan where families will struggle with school placements etc
The Newcastle road is already gridlocked and Adamstown has yet to be built out (8k housing units). The natural flow of traffic is not towards Newcastle but rather down to the N4.
Area should be zoned Enterprise and Employment because
Create local employment opportunities
Fulfil the shortage of offices for small to medium enterprises in Lucan
Enterprise would have less impact on the Newcastle road than a residential area
Increase the use of the cycle network therefore reducing amount of traffic commuting in and out of Lucan which would also reduce traffic in the Lucan area.
The proximity of Grange Castle will allow small indigenous technology and service companies to feed into the multinational companies within Grange Castle.
