Clonburris SDZ

Amend Section 2.2.1 Introduction first paragraph reading "The SDZ lands are uniquely positioned within the Metropolitan Area of Dublin to benefit from a wide range of existing and planned transport opportunities offered by the Kildare/Cork Railway Line,the Grand Canal and an existing network of national, regional and

local roads that are served by existing bus lanes and planned Core Bus Corridors (CBCs), as well as existing local bus routes" to read:

The SDZ lands are  positioned to benefit from a wide range of existing and planned transport opportunities offered by the Kildare/Cork Railway Line,the Grand Canal and an existing network of national, regional and local roads that are served by existing bus lanes and planned Core Bus Corridors (CBCs), as well as existing local bus routes. However given that many road routes are nearing full congestion at peak hours, the SDZ cannot be allowed to add to this congestion. It is therefore essential that additional infrastructure is delivered in a timely manner in advance of and alongside each phase of housing development (see Section 4 - Phasing).

That no fossil fuel powered heating systems are installed in Clonburris SDZ. Installing for example Natural Gas heating would lock-in the development to ongoing greenhouse gas emissions of CO2 for the next 30 years. The homeowners would also be at the mercy of rising carbon taxes and volatile gas prices caused by geopolitical and international economic crisis. Alternatives are available for example heat pumps, geothermal and district heating and that this is written into the SDZ

That Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF's) be fitted or retrofitted to all diesel powered non-road mobile machinery used in the construction of Clonburris SDZ. Such a measure would ensure that the air quality of the SDZ would be maintained during the construction phase and this is written into the SDZ

Amend section 2.1.6 "The provision of accommodation for students and older people(independent and semi-independent living) is encouraged both within the
Kishoge and Clonburris Urban Centres and their contiguous Development
Areas that are proximate to (inter alia) public transport services" to read:
 
The provision of accommodation for students, older people
(independent and semi-independent living) and persons with mental and/or physical disabilities identified as requiring community as opposed to institutional care will be planned for both within the Kishoge and Clonburris Urban Centres and their contiguous Development Areas that are proximate to (inter alia) public transport services. A minimum of one per cent of units shall be set aside for older person's housing, which may be clustered due to its nature and a similar amount should be set aside for small-scale residential community care for clients of the HSE and related bodies.

Clonburris SDZ

Amend section 2.16 Residential Development Standards reading "Individual dwelling units should also be capable of adaptation to meet the changing needs of residents during the course of their lifetime based on the guidance set out under Quality Housing for Sustainable Communities (2007). The need for later extensions or attic conversions should therefore be considered. The provision of live-work units and accommodation of small home based economic activities should also be considered (see Section 2.6 – Economic Development)" to read:

"Individual dwelling units should also be capable of adaptation to meet the changing needs of residents during the course of their lifetime based on the guidance set out under Quality Housing for Sustainable Communities (2007). The need for later extensions or attic conversions should therefore be considered, as well as the potential for one residential unit to be scaled down by up to two rooms and one unit to upsize by a similar amount through the purchase of room space through suitable adjoining party walls designed to make such a purpose possible. The provision of live-work units and accommodation of small home based economic activities should also be considered (see Section 2.6 – Economic Development).

That the Kishoge Retail Core area be designated Mixed Use - Retail and Residential similar to the Clonburris Retail Core

Rationale: This area is centred around a major link road and a train station similar to Clonburris. Should it be extended and/or densities increased, as its location would warrant, then it should have a similar retail core area as Clonburris to facilitate the thousands of people who will live in close promixity. They should not have to travel distances for similar facilties but should be able to enjoy them within walking distance.

That in order to compensate for the loss of housing units relating to motions designating Adamstown Extension and the KNW-S1, KNE-S1 and CSE-S2 lands as amenity/open space:

1) The Kishogue Urban Centre and retail core shall be extended in overall area and density, with increases in permitted retail and employment space;

2) Density increases will be provided for in parts of Clonburris Urban Centre and other areas in the plan closer to the railway stations;

the above increasing the overall number of units marginally and being reflected in the listed amendments for Table 2.13.1 with a related adjustment being made for High and Low margins in each case and amendments made throughout the rest of the Plan document to reflect these changes should the motions containing this table be passed in whole or in part.

3) In the case of the Canal Extension being removed entirely rather than relocated, this will not affect other parts of the table but would result in a marginal loss of units out of the overall scheme.

That the lands outlined in the attached map (owned by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association) be specifically designated as a Place of Worship and Community Building location.

Rationale: To allow for any leisure and recreational facility that may be constructed on this site (which would be available to the wider public) to also serve as a place of worship for this small community. This would of course be subject to any planning application restrictions within the outskirts of site caused by proximity to the Griffeen catchment. The motion can be withdrawn or amended if necessary should some form of memorandum of agreement be drawn up between the Council and the Association in relation to a land swap that would facilitate a dedicated place of worship and community facility in a more central area.

Page 26, insert a new seconds paragraph: “In recognition of the widespread opposition to opening up new pedestrian and vehicle routes from new residential developments to existing estates the planning scheme will only permit Proposed Local Links-Pedestrian and Cyclist and Proposed Local Links-Vechicular,Pedestrian and Cyclist with the support of a majority of the residents of an existing estate following a formal consultation organised by the Council. This restriction relates specifically but not exclusively to the 8 proposed PC Links at Tullyhall, Rossberry, Oldbridge, Foxborough and Tor an Ri and the proposed V Link at Ashwood.”
