"The written response to Motions 15 (63225), 17 (62768) and 18 (63235),  of the September 2019 Clondalkin Area Meeting included the following paragraph:

'The reference to woodlands at Rathcoole in the ownership of SDCC are partially zoned New Residential (RES-N), Rural (RU) and Open Space (OS). The Council is currently considering how new homes and associated community facilities could be provided in this area to support a new residential community. An initial discussion on this was held at the full Council meeting on 8th July. A preliminary urban framework layout was displayed at that meeting. The preparation of that preliminary urban framework for the area was carried out by a multi disciplinary team including an urban designer, planner, architect, transport engineer, archaeologist, ecologist, arborist, landscape architect and an environmental planner. As such, the preliminary layout is informed by environmental and biodiversity considerations.'

To ask the Chief Executive, what contributions the Achaeologist, Ecologist, Arborist made to the preliminary urban framework layout and if in general there is a hierarchy of importance given to the inputs of any of the Urban Designer,  Planner, Architect, Transport Engineer, Archaeologist, Ecologist, Arborist, Landscape Architect and an Environmental Planner?"
