"That the Manager give an update on when work will start on the new Knockcullen/Knocklyon Road entrance and could this committee see the design of the road closure at Knockcullen Rise."
Castlefields, Glenlyon and Glenvara
That before the adoption of the Ballycullen/Oldcourt Local Area Plan that a fixed timeframe be given as to when the remedial work to the Ballycullen steam culvert be carried out. It is accepted by the Manager that there has been four instances of flooding in the estates of Castlefields, Glenlyon and Glenvara between 2008 and 2012, with reports of residents no longer able to insure their homes against such risk.
The Manager has put forward a solution to the problem and the recommendation in the Manager's Report is that there be no feed into the Ballycullen stream until the necessary works have been completed. Instead, the Manager recommends that any future development in the subject lands will drain into the private drainage system but without the details of such private drainage system, leaving it instead that this detail be provided by the Developer , to the satisfaction of the Planner. I would argue that this recommendation is far too vague and uncertain, as it offers no real and immediate solution to the residents of Castlefields, Glenlyons and Glenvara.
If I am to support the Manager's recommendations then I will need precise details to when the replacement pipe will be laid. My point is that the Manager concedes this work needs to be done – postponing the necessary works only serves to expose residents to further instances of flooding. There is now a legal duty of care on the Manger to provide the funding to complete such works as a matter of urgency and without delay. Furthermore, I would argue that in accepting the source of the problem and in recommending the solution this Council is now leaving itself exposed to multiple claims by residents of Castlefields, Glenlyon and Glenvara in the event of future flooding before such works are completed. The legal element of foreseeability having been conceded and accepted by this Council.
Stocking Wood
That before this Council supports the adoption of the Manager's recommendations that there be a further recommendation so as to supports wishes of the 207 residents of Stocking Wood, that there be a further alteration which I understand necessitating an amendment/alteration to the Development plan be made, such as to locate the pedestrian access at each end of Stocking Wood via the green areas at Stocking Wood Manor and Stocking Wood Copse.

That the Manager confirms the removal of the pedestrian and cycling access through Stocking Wood to the undeveloped lands to the south of Stocking Wood and proposes alternative cycling and pedestrian routes in place of these routes.
That this plan will include an appropriate turning point and Lay off area to faciltate the extension of the 15 and/or 15b bus routes into the planned area.

This Council will open discucssions with Dublin bus to work towards this objective.
