That all infrastructure developments mentioned in the SDZ (eg. Western Dublin Orbital Route) be incorporated into the phasing or else be removed from the plan so as to remove the possibility of misleading potential home-buyers, and to ensure the plan does not come to rely on the provision of infrastructure that may not be delivered in tandem with development in the SDZ.

In section 2.9 amend panel Key Principles to read:

The infrastructure, services and energy framework is based on
a number of key principles:
 
To set out a comprehensive evidence based approach to services, infrastructure and energy requirements and opportunities at Clonburris;
 
To ensure that infrastructure and services optimise connection to existing on site water main, foul and surface water pipe networks and resources and to ensure that sufficient water pressure is maintained at all times through the provision of pumps;
 
To ensure that water conservation is built into the infrastructure through the provision of intelligent systems;
 
To co-ordinate the delivery of infrastructure into key routes and corridors and the sharing of trenches to common infrastructure, to optimise road space, and to minimisepotential impacts on the public realm arising from ongoing
maintenance works;
 
To mitigate the risk of flooding by installing Green Roofs in all apartment buildings, by integrating a comprehensive and high quality Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUD) into the design of new developments and maximising opportunities to incorporate rainwater attenuation measures into public realm, parks and open spaces;
 
To promote demand management and sustainable supply systems for all services;
 
To progress and actively promote a range of low carbon and renewable energy
opportunities at Clonburris, particularly solar PV and demonstrate leadership in
their development and realisation, from strategic site options to individual block level technologies, in accordance with the recommendations of the Clonburris Energy Masterplan;
 
To enable connection and high quality use of telecommunications infrastructure by a range of parties,promoting Clonburris as a connected place;
 
To provide for gas infrastructure requirements in partnership with energy providers and other stakeholders should no cost effective and lower carbon energy source be available at the time of any sector being developed;
 
To maximise best practice for waste minimisation, reuse and recycling during demolition, excavation, construction and occupation of development; and
 
To explore the use of pneumatic waste collection system for new developments, in particular higher density development areas at Clonburris and Kishoge.

In section 2.2.6 Bridges amend to read as follows:

The barriers created by pre-existing strategic roads, the Grand Canal
and the Kildare/Cork Railway Line form challenges to movement
across the SDZ lands. Rather than being avoided or mitigated, these
features will be integrated within the urban structure of the SDZ lands
with important connections across them.
 
A number of bridges are required to enable north-south movement
across the Canal and Railway for different modes as well as to facilitate safer access to schools and playing pitches off Griffeen Avenue and the Outer Ring Road. A total of six new bridges are proposed in addition to the upgrade of an existing pedestrian and cycle bridge to a Green Bridge at Hayden’s Lane. Such bridges shall be provided in accordance with the Phasing Strategy
detailed in Chapter 4.
 
The various types of bridges that are existing and proposed (14 in
total) on the SDZ lands and the type of movement they will support is
set out in the Table 2.2.2. The location of proposed bridges (including
upgrade) is further detailed on the Overall Movement Concept drawing
(Fig. 2.2.7). No level crossings over the railway line will be permitted.
In addition to the requirements set out under Section 2.11
(Biodiversity and Natural Heritage), where new canal crossings i.e.
footbridges/cycle bridges are proposed, all canal crossings should be
designed so as to avoid fragmentation of linear habitats associated
with the Grand Canal corridor.

In Section 2.8 Built Form and Design under heading Roofscapes, amend to read as follows:

A variety of roofscapes are encouraged to contribute to the architectural
and visual diversity of the SDZ Lands and the quality of streets and
spaces. An additional set-back floor above the maximum permissible
storey height will be considered where it is shown to make a positive
contribution to the streetscape via a Design Statement and where there
are no adverse effects on amenity, such as an unacceptable loss of

daylight or sunlight.

All roofs should have sufficient southerly orientation so as to allow for the efficient installation of Solar PV units.

All apartment block, landmark building and retail roof spaces shall incorporate at least 50% Green Roof technology so as to minimise the effects of flash flooding caused by heavy rainfall.

Amend Section 2.7 Community Facilities under heading Garda Station and Fire Station to read as follows

Garda Station, Fire Station and Post Office
 
Fire Stations are generally located on a regional scale. In South Dublin
County, the primary fire station is located at Belgard Road, Tallaght,
approximately 3.5km from the SDZ lands. It is noted that the Adamstown
SDZ Planning Scheme has identified a possible site for a Fire Station.
Given the nature and scale of development proposed in Clonburris,
provision has been made to reserve a site for a fire station. Following
consultation with the Dublin Fire Brigade, the preferred site is identified
adjacent to the Fonthill road and Thomas Omer Way adjacent to
Clonburris Urban Centre. This is tied into the Phasing. At the implementation stage, if an Adamstown Fire Station is already open and South Dublin
County Council (as the Development Agency) is advised in writing that a
formal determination has been made by the Dublin Fire Brigade that the
site is not required for a fire station, the site may then be developed for
residential or community uses in accordance with the guidance set out for
the Clonburris North West Development Area.
 
In the event of An Garda Siochana identifying the need for the provision
of a Garda Station at Clonburris at an early stage, the station can be accommodated within the Kishoge or Clonburris Urban Centres. Discussions will have to take place in line with phasing requirements. Ultimately some form of public building facilitating full or part-time face to face access with Gardai will have to be provided in line with phasing requirements.

Neighbouring Lucan, with more than 13,000 residential units has access to three post offices. Clonburris will require a similar amount of provision in line with rising population. At least one post office shall be opened mid-way through the development of Clonburris SDZ, in line with phasing requirements.
