Amend page 85 5.3.0, paragraph 4 to read: The South Dublin County Retail Hierarchy incorporates the Level 3 centres identified by the Retail Strategy for the GDA 2008 – 2016, but also reflects the unique nature of the highest density urban areas of the Strategic Development Zones at Adamstown and Clonburris. The South Dublin County hierarchy also identifies the established shopping centres of Ballyowen, Firhouse, Knocklyon and Palmerstown as Level 3 centres. The level of activity, range of uses and population catchment of these centres, aligns strongly with the description of a Level 3 centre in the Retail Strategy for the GDA and the Retail Planning Guidelines. The Level 3 (b) designation of these centres reflects their existing function and provides opportunities for revitalisationand growth in tandem with population growth in the catchment. The status of the centres is reflected in the hierarchy of urban centres though a District Centre Zoning Objective.”
