Economic Development 2.6
Overall the size allocated to E&E has been reduced in the proposed Clonburris SDZ plan and this does not allow for increase in local employment and doesn’t allow for a broader mix of enterprise for future residents within the Cloburris SDZ and existing residents in surrounding areas. Introducing local employment with greater opportunities for local employment within the Clonburris SDZ plan would result in alleviating traffic congestion which residents in surrounding areas are currently experiencing.
Census figures from 2016 states the following:
“In 2016 there were 11034 commuters who lived in the Electoral Division of LUCAN – ESKER but worked elsewhere. There were 2482 commuters who travelled into this electoral division to work. This resulted in a net flow of -8552.”
This tells us the vast majority of people in the Lucan are travelling one way to go to work outside the Lucan area resulting in the traffic gridlock. If more residents can get work locally it will reduce traffic journeys.
Local employment is vital to allow the possibility of part time work for those with young families (particularly women) who need to stay in close proximity to their children’s school and who are only available to work part time. It is not always viable for part time workers to commute outside the area.
The 442 units located in Adamstown Extension (see Table 2.1.5) to be relocated within the SDZ plan Kishoge Urban Centre (KUC) 734 + 442 = 1176, bringing it in line with the proposed number in Clonburris Urban Centre (CUC) (1265.).
Allowing the proposed 442 units on the Adamstown Extension would only lead to the following outcomes:
Increase car usage as the proposed 442 units are disconnected from the wider Clonburris Plan. Placing new and ADDITIONAL exits/entrances on the Newcastle Road R120 would result increasing the gridlock that is currently present on this road. The lack of schools, shops etc within close proximity to the proposed 442 units will lead to additional cars accessing the Newcastle Road R136 adding further to the traffic congestion which is currently being experienced.

Delete section 4.5 Local Level requirements
Rationale [The phasing table relates to changes integral to the plan as a whole and negates the need for local level requirements]
Cllrs G. O'Connell, L. O'Toole and F. Timmons
That a maximum permissable height of 7-storeys be permitted if required in the zones immediately adjacent to the train stations to facilitate increased densities in urban areas arising from the change of use for lower density housing land to open space/amenity elsewhere in the plan and the need to transfer additional units into these areas.
Cllrs G. O'Connell, L. O'Toole and F. Timmons
That this council purchase back 40% of housing in the Clonburris instead of the 10% that is proposed, to be funded directly by central Government. These houses to be used for both public and affordable homes.
