To provide for a new zoning for River Valley Areas with a similar but higher level of protection than the ‘High Amenity’ zoning, the following three changes are to be made to the plan, bearing in mind this in no way diminishes the protection afforded to areas such as the ‘Lucan Bridge to Palmerstown, SAAO’ within the Liffey Valley

  • 1. Under section  ‘0.5 Zoning Objectives Matrix’ insert a new zoning for river valley areas, we suggest this be denoted by the letter ‘I’ . This zoning to have similar but higher protection than the ‘High Amenity’ zoning ‘G’, as outlined in the updated zoning Matrix attached.
  • Amend the plan as per the attached schedule of changes to reflect the treatment of this new zoning class ‘I’. These changes are to sections within the Draft County Development Plan where consideration is afforded to sensitive areas such as mountains, rural areas or high amenity zonings; so that they also now include reference also to this new River Valley Zoning – without compromising the greater protection afforded it by its zoning as defined.

It is considered unnecessary to add additional Views and Prospects to the Draft Plan.’ However all the other Hills such as Athgoe Hill, Saggart Hill, Verschoyle’s Hill, Tallaght Hill and Knockannavea Hill are all listed as prospects. However these  3 hills, which are dominant elements in the landscape character of the area have been omitted.
