This motion relates to chapter 2 Core Strategy and Settlement Strategy, submission SD-C195-205 on page 155 of the CE report. To reject the new Objective CS 1 Objective 4: To engage with the Land Development Agency (LDA) in the planning and co-ordination of strategic land banks to achieve compact growth, sustainable development and urban regeneration. Reason: A discussion was held in 2021 regarding the LDA where councillors unanimously agreed that we wished for SDCC to develop its own lands, so this objective is not necessary or wanted.
Page 268, Chapter 2, Submission No. SD-C195-17 FROM CE Recommendation: To insert a new objective into Policy CS5 to read: To ensure, that as part of the two-year statutory review of the Development Plan, an evidence-based analysis of employment lands will be undertaken and should there be evidence for the need for further employment zoning within the lifetime of the Plan, a Variation to the Plan will be immediately initiated informed by: • Analysis of the type of employment need • Analysis of the appropriate location/s to serve such need • Relevant National and Regional policy and proper planning and sustainable development. TO CE Recommendation: To insert a new objective into Policy CS5 to read: To ensure, that as part of the two-year statutory review of the Development Plan, an evidence-based analysis of employment lands will be undertaken and should there be evidence for the need for an agri-hub employment zoning within the lifetime of the Plan, a Variation to the Plan will be immediately initiated to create a - special zoning status that can be attributed to specific lands that cater to the development of the agri-hub sector informed by: • Analysis of the type of employment need • Analysis of the appropriate location/s to serve such need • Relevant National and Regional policy and proper planning and sustainable development. proposed by Cllr William Carey and Cllr Derren OBradaigh
This motion refers to Chapter 2, Page 326, Submission SD-C195-204
To change the wording of the CE Recommendation on the SLO for the Spawell.
Provision in the form of shop-local or shop neighbourhood to no more than 3 units which will not include a large Supermarket,
To: Provision in the form of shop-local or shop-neighbourhood to no more than 5 units which will not include a supermarket larger than 800 m2
Rational. The Spawell Complex is adjacent to a vibrant local centre which currently caters for the needs of the local community. In my opinion to grant anything larger than my recommendation above could potentially damage local traders. However, there is currently several small businesses operating on the site complex and we need to protect them as well as they to provide a valuable service to the community.

This motion relates to CSO10 SLO1 in the Draft Plan and submissions by all named individuals and groups commencing with SD-C195-68 Peter Meighan on page 211 of the CE Report with recommendation commencing on page 216.
Motion To amend CE Recommended Amendments to the Zoning Map for Rathcoole lands, pages numbered 216 and 217 of full CE Report by: • Rezoning 0.25 ha of new residential along the north perimeter to 0.25 ha rural, retaining access • Changing proposed rezoning of the area identified as 2.4 ha immature woodland on page 9 of rathcoole-land-use-concept-and-zoning, Existing Condition and Constraints Map from new residential to rural. This area has been confirmed as alluvial woodland by a survey plot (see Hodd report). (documentation with maps and images attached)
Chapter 2, page 211, Submission SD-C195-68 - This motion proposes that the Rathcoole Lands Land Use Concept, specifically Appendix 2A, pg 14 of the CE Report (which proposes both Res-N and OS-Open space/GAA site zoning of a section of Rathcoole Peoples Park Amenity lands), is redrafted so that it retains the large 4Ha section of the Rathcoole Peoples Park as OS (Open Space), as it consists of a well used Council Sports pitch (both training and matches), significant Annex I Habitat 6510 Lowland Hay Meadow, historical walkways/right-of-ways linking Rathcoole/Swiftbrook Mills/Saggart/The Lugg, has Camac River corridor and hedgerows. (See Fig 1 below)
Outcome:
Retaining the large 4Ha section of the Rathcoole Peoples Park as OS (Open Space) will result in c. 0.72ha currently proposed to be zoned Res-N (new residential) as per Appendix 2A of the CE report to be zoned as Open Space as per the attached map.
Chapter 2, page 211, Submission SD-C195-68 - To retain the existing location for the school site within the DOE owned lands in Rathcoole in its current position (as per the Draft Plan) subject to a wider assessment relating to the suitability of the currently proposed site (as per Appendix 2A Lands Framework Concept and Zoning Proposals) for development in the context of its location adjacent to the Rathcoole Woodlands and identified Annex 1 habitats.
Reason:
In the first instance any development within the SDCC and DOE lands has the potential to severely impact upon the integrity of the Annex 1 habitats including the Alluvial Woodlands (91E0) within the Rathcoole Woodlands site and the lowland hay meadow within Rathcoole Park. The CE is reminded that the Council's own ecological assessment (Appendix 2B) concluded that 'overall the site is currently considered to be of County ecological importance for its mosaic of Annex I (priority) habitats, species-rich semi-natural habitats, heritage value hedgerows, wetland habitats and mosaic of wooded and non-wooded semi-natural habitats which are rare in County Dublin'. Therefore, it is highly likely that that proposed layout within the Land Use Concept document would have a detrimental impact upon the protected habitats and overall woodland habitat.
It is recommended that the Council overturn their proposed Res-N zoning in the absence of substantial evidence-based documentation which may suggest otherwise.
It is noted that the compensatory measures identified by CE in terms of a net gain of new alluvial woodlands relates to existing 'gap' areas in the woodlands which is proposed to be protected under the RU zoning objective. It is not considered that this constitutes as a satisfactory mitigation measure for the loss of woodlands to the east considering these 'gaps' are part of the wider Woodland habitat and are entirely unsuitable for any other use beyond continued re-wilding due to their location centrally within the woodland and adjacent to Annex 1 habitats.
However, should it be determined based on substantial evidence-based studies that areas of the SDCC and DOE lands are suitable for development, it is considered that the delivery of the school building is currently of greatest priority considering the Rathcoole Educate Together School is currently located within a temporary building. The viability of the school should not be reliant on the SDCC residential development and should have the potential to be developed in the event that the SDCC residential development is delayed or not deemed appropriate.
There are significant concerns that the re-location of the school site will result in significant delays for the development of a new primary school building in Rathcoole which is required for the established Educate Together School which operates in a temporary location on Fortunestown Lane. In the context of the grant of permission for the post primary school (Reg. Ref. SD19A/0393), there is a real possibility that at short notice the existing Educate Together School may not have a guaranteed location for a subsequent school year as has occurred to other schools located within temporary buildings in the wider County Dublin. At present, it is highly likely that children of residents of Rathcoole who are enrolled in the Rathcoole Education Together school will not have the opportunity to attend a permanent school building within Rathcoole Village for the entirety of the lifetime of their primary school going years. Furthermore, in the event that an alternative temporary location is required, there are concerns that this may not be within the immediate locality thereby requiring Rathcoole residents to travel further to drop their children to school.
It is considered that the proposed land swap will result in substantial delays for the development of a school building and consider that the existing DOE owned site should be retained for its originally intended school use. The proposed land swap presents the potential for legal complications requiring full agreement between both parties and the likely delays this may cause.
In this regard, it is requested that the CE clarify the extent of discussions or agreement with the DOE relating to the proposed land swap. The masterplan as proposed will re-locate the school site centrally within the SDCC lands. The new school site is therefore entirely reliant on the delivery of the SDCC development and is not viable should the SDCC scheme be substantially delayed. The retention of the school site within the existing DOE lands has greater potential to proceed in the near future subject to suitability in the context of the Woodlands and opens up the potential for a phased form of development.
This motion relates to CSO10 SLO1 in the Draft Plan and submissions by all named individuals commencing with SD-C195-68 Peter Meighan on page 211 of the CE Report with recommendation commencing on page 216 Amend proposed SLO referenced on page 215 from To ensure the protection and augmentation of the identified alluvial woodlands within the zoning RU, and in recognising their value as green infrastructure and the potential linkages to Lugg Woods and Slade Valley and other amenity areas, provide for sensitive passive amenity uses which have regard to their Annex 1 status.

Chapter 2 Core Strategy CE Report pages: 308-312 Submission SD-C195-257 To rezone the lands on attached map marked in red from OS and RU to EE and to include a SLO as follows: 'To facilitate warehousing and ancillary uses at the former Hazel Grove Golf Club, Kiltalown, Saggart, off the N81 National Secondary Road subject to proper planning and sustainable development including protection of the operating capacity and safety of the N81 and its junction with Mount Seskin Road.' REASON: National and regional policy is rightly to increase density in urban areas, such as Tallaght. This has a negative impact on necessary, if less valuable, lower order warehouse / distribution land uses, which may be forced to relocate to areas remote from the urban centres. In order to ensure a margin of flexibility in the Development Plan for the facilitation of such lower order warehouse/distribution related uses, including the need to retain such necessary uses within the County, but which are planned to be displaced by higher density residential and mixed use developments from more centrally located lands in the Tallaght area (e.g. Cookstown) and noting the impediments to agricultural use of portion of the lands subject of the submission, it is proposed to rezone lands at Kiltalown, Saggart, as recommended by the CEO, from OS to RU with the addition that the northernmost section in the land holding (bounded to the south by the Irish Water main) be rezoned to EE with an SLO

The CE Response considers the woodlands too small, but the Alluvial Woodland component of woodlands at Rathcoole is still considerable given that the National Survey of Native Woodlands found: 'The majority of surveyed woodlands were small or very small in extent, with 50% of sites being 6 ha or less…, over two thirds (67.8%) of sites were 10 ha or less and only 3.3% of sites surveyed were 50 ha or more, with just ten sites over 100 ha…This reflects the highly fragmented nature of the Irish woodland resource..' I believe this significance merits inclusion as a core area.

MOTION Section 2.3 , Submission Number SD C195 - 245, Page 92 and 93 of the CE Report, (Ref Policy SM3) To change the Chief Executive's Recommendation as follows: FROM: Amend Table 7.5 to remove reference to 'Kennelsfort Road and the R148' and associated text and insert the same into Table 7.6 Medium to Long Term Road Objectives. TO: The Council shall work with the NTA and other state agencies to facilitate the delivery of the Kennelsfort Road-R148 grade separated junction or an equivalent solution to be initiated during the first two years of the 2022-2028 Development Plan and adjust the relevant tables as appropriate to reflect this objective. EXPLAINATION: The intent of the motion is to restore the original objective as set out in the Draft Plan. The Council, and successive County Development Plans, going back to the 1990s has promoted the objective of a grade separated junction at Kennelsfort Road/N4 (now Kennelsfort Road/R148). Now is the time to begin to deliver on this objective especially given the National commitment to address Climate change and its causes. The NRA is not addressing the issue when it states '….that there will be no significant increase in road capacity for private vehicles on radial roads inside the M50 Motorway'. (Michael Mac Ardee, Head of Strategic Planning, NRA, 15th September 2021). Road capacity is not the issue here. The need for a separated junction at this location is required in the first instance to re-unite the divided community of Palmerstown, to promote connectivity. The Community was divided to facilitate the realignment of the Lucan Road in the 1980s by the creation of the then N4, more recently downgraded from a national to a regional road. But the traffic has increased, not lessened. Secondly it creates an unnecessary source of both air and noise pollution in the midst of a residential area, especially at peak times, as motor vehicles are halted in both directions by unnecessary traffic signals. The current arrangement does not support an efficient BusConnect system. Neither does it promote or foster cyclists or pedestrians. The time has come to deliver on this long held objective. Councillors Guss O'Connell, Liona O'Toole, Paul Gogarty,
This motion relates to chapter 2, submission SD-C195-245 (National Transport Authority) on page 92 of the CE Report.

This motion relates to chapter 9 Economic Development & Employment, submission SD-C195-119 on page 829 of the CE report. To reject the CE recommendation of No change and ban data centres by moving Data Centre to Not Permitted under all zoning. Reason: It has become even more clear since the last Development Plan discussions that there is no more capacity for further data centres in the South Dublin area. EirGrid announced in December that it would not grant any further connections in the Dublin area until 2028. Since this coincides with dates of this plan it would be prudent to ban all new data centres for the duration of the plan.

This motion relates to Chapter 10 Energy, submission SD-C195-181 on page 877 of the CE report. To remove the following sentence from the new Section 11.5 Electricity Infrastructure: It is recognised that natural gas, particularly renewable and indigenous gas, will have a role to play in the transition to a low carbon economy. As such, renewable energy developments may require support from such sources in times of high energy demand. Reason: Neither natural gas nor so called renewable natural gas should be regarded as a greener alternative to other fossil fuels. Natural gas is a fossil fuel and should be phased out as soon as possible. It's still debatable whether or not RNG is a good alternative with many climate scientists advising against the replacing of natural gas with RNG.
