On page 210 (iii)  Fencing  Replace by: It is a requirement of the Planning Regulations 2001 Art 9(I)(a)(x) that the fencing or enclosure of land open to or used by the publicduring the ten years preceding such fencing or enclosure requires planning permission. Wire fencing constitutes visual pollution and destroys the “away from it all” feeling which makes upland areas such an attraction for both local people and visitors. There has been a large increase in the amount of new fencing in upland areas. Barbed wire has been used in most of this new fencing, which, in the absence of stiles or gates, makes access for recreational users of our countryside almost impossible. Traditional hill-sheep farming rarely required fencing, but since the introduction of REPS(now AEOS), sheep-farmers must, *in certain circumstances, stock-proof their land. The challenge is to ensure that such fencing will be done in a manner that will meet the requirements of AEOS without impinging on access for hill walkers.

2nd para  Insert: unless such fencing is essential to the viability of the farm after areas.

I wish to support a resident who is opposed to a proposed Record Protected Structure for her property at 13 Rathfarnham Village, Dublin 14 as referenced in Dev plan submission 0072.  I understand from the Residents submission that the property is already included in a ACA and I would be satisfied that the exterior of the building is what is of historic value to the village and that internal works shouldn’t be restricted and am calling for the RPS to be removed.

Flood risk at Baldonnell.

That all lands at Baldonnell that are subject to a flood risk as per the Strategic Flood Risk Assessment carried out by RPS in 2015 for the SDCC Development Plan be zoned for agricultural use and cannot be considered for any other zoning until the flood risk is fully mitigated. This approach would be consistent with the OPWs Planning System and Flood Risk Management Guidelines 2009.

Having a plan from a developer to mitigate the risk local to the site is not sufficient as it is almost certain that the works to fully mitigate such a risk would need to be carried out over a much longer section upstream along the Camac river and could only be done by the local authority.

Allowing for expansion at Tallaght Hospital: The proposal to locate the National Children’s Hospital near Tallaght Hospital was hamstrung due to the size and shape of the site on offer i.e. the old St Malruan’s Halting Site and Staff car park. Considering that it is still a very real possibility that this project will not go ahead at the current location being pursued at St James’s Hospital due to planning restrictions, this Council should agree an objective which would facilitate the growth of the Hospital if necessary into what is now the Cookstown Industrial Estate. It is also now clear to all that the Acute Hospital System is simply not big enough and so there needs to be space for expansion allowed for at the Tallaght Hospital site.

The objective would therefore need to state that no new Industrial Development will be considered on the lands South of the second avenue and West of the Cookstown Road within the Cookstown Industrial Estate as that land may need to be re- zone for Institutional use during the term of this Development Plan. The objective also need to state that a variation to the County Development Plan will be put in train immediately if the question of the location of the National Children’s Hospital changes again.
