That this Council, noting:

  • - the Adamstown SDZ remains at an early stage of development;

  • - the lack of sustainable phasing requirements in the draft SDZ planning scheme for necessary transport infrastructure and public transport improvements;

  • - the failure of the draft SDZ planning scheme to acknowledge or address the current scale of traffic congestion and lack of public transport carrying capacity in the Lucan and Clondalkin;

Considers that the proposal set-out in the draft SDZ planning scheme would lead to unsustainable over-development and therefore RESOLVES NOT TO ADOPT THE PLANNING SCHEME.
