In support of Executive summary 2.4, 2.6.1 (Land Capacity Study) table 9 & 10; This Development Plan will ensure that no further lands will be rezoned in Map 8 bounded by the Naas Road, Garter Lane & Mill Road.

Page 56, Core Strategy (CS) Policy 9, insert in Objective 3, ', open space amenity' between 'retail' and 'and'
Chapter 2: Core Strategy - 2.2, 2.4.1, 2.6.7, Table 9 & 10, Map Sheet 5 (+Chapter 3) That the Plan protects and enhances where possible the Unique Lands known as Newlands Farm Located between the Belgard Rd, Ballymount Road and the Naas Rd N7 found on Map/Sheet 5. These lands are zoned RU and are a unique wildlife Habitat in an Urban setting between two major settings of Human Population of Clondalkin and Tallaght and are the lungs of Tallaght or the 'Stepping stones' for the purposes of Natural infrastructure mentioned in Chapter 3 NCBH 2 Objective 3 which states 'To protect and conserve the natural heritage of the County, and to conserve and manage EU and nationally designated sites and non-designated locally important areas which act as 'stepping stones' for the purposes of green infrastructure and Article 10 of the Habitats Directive'. These Lands with their rich abundance of Flora and Fauna including large numbers of animals offset the enormous carbon Pollution created by the vehicular traffic on the Belgard Road but more specifically the N7 - THE busiest Road in the Country and therefore must be protected. Section 2.2 Clearly states that we have more than enough Residential zoned lands within the County to meet our Ministerial targets of 17,817 and even the top tier target of 23,730 as we currently have enough zoned land to deliver 44,472 Housing units which could cover two development plans over 12 years under current population projections. In addition to the above 2.4.1 states 'The NPF's number one strategic objective: Compact Growth, sets a clear development outcome to grow our existing urban areas creating a priority to build on brownfield / infill development first, before considering greenfield lands.' This statement further supports the argument to protect the current zoning on the aforementioned Lands. Furthermore, 2.6.7 continues to support this zoning by stating 'As set out in Table 9, South Dublin has a physical excess of zoned lands to meet the population and housing targets set out under national and regional policy. These lands are located, for the most part, within existing built-up areas in Dublin City and Suburbs and will, therefore, support compact growth. Lastly, with all of the above in mind, this are of rich Biodiversity must be protected now in this Plan and into the future by ensuring its zoning is enshrined in the plan to ensure the important functions its serves to both the wildlife and the human population that surrounds it and also to ensure we create a plan that is strictly in line with current ministerial targets and National and Local targets, guidelines and Policy's some of which are set out above.

Insert new IE 2 Objective 11 : To work with Irish Water to pilot the deployment of toilets in new residential developments that separate urine at source to allow for Phosphorous recovery.

Thus, recovering P from wastewater for reuse as fertilizer in agriculture provides a 'double benefit', i.e., to recycle the non-renewable phosphorus resource from wastewater and to protect closed water bodies such as lakes, ponds and reservoirs from eutrophication by reducing the input of phosphorus (reference : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envint.2019.105322).
