Planning
Questions
"What measures are to be taken as a matter of urgency to ensure that the development (planning application SD23A/0237) complies with the local area plan objectives for CTF1? I refer to your answer to my question on the uncovering of the River Poddle in Tallaght - ITEM ID: 88220. In the Local Area Plan, areas CTF1 and CTF2 are targeted for exploring the uncovering of the River Poddle. However, a new development has been granted planning permission in CTF1 on the basis of the River Poddle being referred to as a "surface water pipe/sewer/drain" (planning application SD23A/0237). It indicates that the river was not considered in the plans at all, let alone its uncovering?"
