- Develop a countywide network of green-waste centres in suitable locations to expand the collection system for compostable waste. Incentivise the use of the green-waste centre, by making it cheaper for the user to dump green waste at a green-waste facility rather than their grey-bin or landfill collection.
Amend the final paragraph of 2.4.11 Waste Re-use and Recylcing to read as follows:
“It is the policy of the Council that no waste generated within the County that is recyclable or compostable will be incinerated at any location. This will be achieved through a strict adherence to the EU Waste Hierarchy which places recycling (which includes composting) ahead of energy recovery (which includes incineration).”
with the remaining text of the paragraph to be deleted for the purposes of clarity.
Amend Section 2.4.13 Municipal Solid Waste Disposal to read as follows:
“The Council intends that the safe disposal of waste, which cannot be re-used or recycled or composted, shall be carried out in the manner as stated in policy ES6 below. This approach reflects European policy where it is recognised that ‘waste to energy’ (energy recovery) where it meets specified energy production levels is not regarded as disposal.”
with the remaining text of the paragraph to be deleted.
Under Environmental Services - Section 4 - ref. 2.4.21 - to include "and crematoriums."

2.5.8 Telecommunications
That in view of health and safety implications the plan excludes Tallaght Stadium and its immediate environs from any future telecommunications antennae and support structures.
Addendum to 2.5.6 Telecommunication Network - paragraph now to read (addendum in italics);
2.5.6 Telecommunication Network
The widespread availability of a high quality telecommunications network throughout the County will be critical to the development of a knowledge economy, will help attract inward investment in hi-tech knowledge based industries and will engender the image of the County as a premier location for enterprise. The provision of a high quality network is also desirable in terms of equality outcomes and the narrowing of the ‘digital divide.’ An accessible, high quality network will be of particular benefit to those who have not traditionally benefited from modern advances in telecommunications, in particular the elderly, those who are disabled and those from backgrounds of disadvantage. The advantages of a high quality telecommunications network must however be balanced against the need to safeguard the rural and urban environment, particularly in sensitive areas where the impacts on residential amenity and visual amenity of local areas needs to be adequately assessed. It is an objective of the Council to facilitate the roll-out of an effective 3G mobile broadband network in the County.
That on page 136 – 2.5.8 an additional point be added: “A statement from operators that the development will not impinge on access to the countryside including public rights of way and walking routes” and that the draft county development plan is amended accordingly.

In this context, it is an objective of the County Development Plan to support the continued investigation of the potential and scale of the deep geothermal heat resources within the County including those found at Newcastle. It is also an objective of the Council to support a pilot project to demonstrate the exploitation and use of the renewable energy resource in a new energy self-sufficient residential development and to ensure that such an energy resource is in use before this County Development Plan runs its course.
(This is to replace the final paragraph of 2.5.9 on Renewable Energy.)
That, as part of our County Development Plan, we develop clear, enforceable energy saving guidelines for new building construction in relation to public transport, solar power, insulation and the design of energy efficient homes, offices and industrial buildings.
2.5.9 (Renewable Energy) Amend Paragraph 4 to read: 'It is the Policy of the Council to support the exploitation of deep geothermal heat resources at Newcastle and the examination of the potential for further exploitation of this resource elswhere in the County in association with the development of new sustainable energy efficient Communities, in order to facilitate the development of future growth areas in the County in a sustainable manner'.

Landscape Character Area Description
11. Firhouse /add Rathfarnham
To introduce a new zoning objective LV “To protect and enhance the outstanding natural character of the Liffey Valley”; and to re-designate all lands north of the N4 currently zoned G (high amenity) or GB (green belt) under this new LV zoning; and to further amend both policy LHA4 and specific local objective 3 to seek that the proposed extension of the Liffey Valley Special Amenity Area Order would include all lands zoned LV.
The Management shall explore and insert in the next draft of the County Development Plan before it goes on public display, a Zoning category similar to that which applies to the Dublin Mountains for the area of the Liffey Valley that lies within South Dublin County, that includes all (but not only) the SAAO and that is bounded by the river Liffey on the one side from Chapelizod to Leixlip, and the Old Lucan Road from the City boundary to the M50 and by the N4 as far as the junction with the Outer Ring Road, from there by the Old Lucan Road again to Lucan Bridge, that includes all of Lucan Demesne, Lucan Golf Course, Cooldrinagh (including Weston Airport) and Tobbermaclog, with the objective of distinguishing the unique landscape which is the Liffey Valley from other Green Belts and providing the Liffey Valley with the maximum protection for future generations.
Given the proximity of the Lucan Golf Club lands to the river Liffey and it’s current green undeveloped status; and the fact it forms and is seen as part of the green belt between the residential communities of Lucan and Celbridge; together with the enormous extent of land already zoned in the county and the decrease in demand for development – this proposal warrants no further consideration. In summary given the above and also but not limited to the criterion of ‘Policy Context’, ‘Environmental & Heritage’, ‘Environment’ and ‘Assessment of Need’, it should be rejected and not carried into the Draft Plan for further consideration.
