Can the Chief Executive provide an update on progress in delivering on the proposed 3.5T restriction for the cell between the Oval and Kennelsfort Road as set out in the Manager's report below, and to indicate in the answer why it has taken so long to have the decision implemented. Tuesday, September 24, 2019 MOTION NO. 25 MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell, Councillor P. Gogarty That a full review be carried out into requests by residents (the subject of several motions and questions over the years) for a 3.5T restriction on Kennelsfort Rd, and on the 'Cell' between the R148 at the Oval and Kennelsfort road. To include the decision of the full Council (H.12 {11} July 2015) to have a 3.5T restriction on Kennelsfort Rd and the decision of the then Lucan LAC (November 2016 Item ID: 51367) to impose a 3.5T restriction on the cell between the Oval and Kennelsfort Road, neither of which have been acted upon. And that a full report be brought before this LAC for consideration at the October 2019 meeting. REPORT: There is a weight restriction of 7.5 tonnes on the Kennelsfort Road which was applied in accordance with the Council's policy document 'The Mobility and Management of Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV's) on South Dublin County Road Network'. This policy was adopted by the members of South Dublin County Council in 2013. The installation of a HGV restriction is an executive function requiring consultation with the Garda Commissioner. It is the position of SDCC and An Garda Siochana that the appropriate limit is in place on Kennelsfort Road as outlined on a number of occasions. SDCC has agreed to a 3.5 tonne weight restriction on the estate roads between the Oval and Kennelsfort Road. This has been communicated on a number of occasions to An Garda Siochana. No response has been received.
That the Chief Executive reports on communications received to date in relation to the pre-planning design of the age-friendly housing proposal in Sarsfield Park from local residents via various channels, outlines the timescale and deadline for further direct submissions before completion of the design and indicates what scope exists in terms of amending the final proposal for much-needed local housing for older people in terms of these inputs and direct representations from elected members, in the absence of a Part 8 process, given that a number of concerns have since been expressed about what looked to be an excellent proposal on paper, namely the overall size of the development in what is a relatively congested site, the privacy impact of two storeys overlooking so many dwellings, the aforementioned lack of additional parking provision, the previous subsidence on the site (which it is suggested may require pile driving, a cause of concern for neighbouring residents in terms of structural damage), drainage issues, challenges to access for emergency services etc; and if a statement can be made on the matter.
