Chapter 2 Core Strategy CE Report pages: 308-312 Submission SD-C195-257 To rezone the lands on attached map marked in red from OS and RU to EE and to include a SLO as follows: 'To facilitate warehousing and ancillary uses at the former Hazel Grove Golf Club, Kiltalown, Saggart, off the N81 National Secondary Road subject to proper planning and sustainable development including protection of the operating capacity and safety of the N81 and its junction with Mount Seskin Road.' REASON: National and regional policy is rightly to increase density in urban areas, such as Tallaght. This has a negative impact on necessary, if less valuable, lower order warehouse / distribution land uses, which may be forced to relocate to areas remote from the urban centres. In order to ensure a margin of flexibility in the Development Plan for the facilitation of such lower order warehouse/distribution related uses, including the need to retain such necessary uses within the County, but which are planned to be displaced by higher density residential and mixed use developments from more centrally located lands in the Tallaght area (e.g. Cookstown) and noting the impediments to agricultural use of portion of the lands subject of the submission, it is proposed to rezone lands at Kiltalown, Saggart, as recommended by the CEO, from OS to RU with the addition that the northernmost section in the land holding (bounded to the south by the Irish Water main) be rezoned to EE with an SLO

MOTION Section 2.3 , Submission Number SD C195 - 245, Page 92 and 93 of the CE Report, (Ref Policy SM3) To change the Chief Executive's Recommendation as follows: FROM: Amend Table 7.5 to remove reference to 'Kennelsfort Road and the R148' and associated text and insert the same into Table 7.6 Medium to Long Term Road Objectives. TO: The Council shall work with the NTA and other state agencies to facilitate the delivery of the Kennelsfort Road-R148 grade separated junction or an equivalent solution to be initiated during the first two years of the 2022-2028 Development Plan and adjust the relevant tables as appropriate to reflect this objective. EXPLAINATION: The intent of the motion is to restore the original objective as set out in the Draft Plan. The Council, and successive County Development Plans, going back to the 1990s has promoted the objective of a grade separated junction at Kennelsfort Road/N4 (now Kennelsfort Road/R148). Now is the time to begin to deliver on this objective especially given the National commitment to address Climate change and its causes. The NRA is not addressing the issue when it states '….that there will be no significant increase in road capacity for private vehicles on radial roads inside the M50 Motorway'. (Michael Mac Ardee, Head of Strategic Planning, NRA, 15th September 2021). Road capacity is not the issue here. The need for a separated junction at this location is required in the first instance to re-unite the divided community of Palmerstown, to promote connectivity. The Community was divided to facilitate the realignment of the Lucan Road in the 1980s by the creation of the then N4, more recently downgraded from a national to a regional road. But the traffic has increased, not lessened. Secondly it creates an unnecessary source of both air and noise pollution in the midst of a residential area, especially at peak times, as motor vehicles are halted in both directions by unnecessary traffic signals. The current arrangement does not support an efficient BusConnect system. Neither does it promote or foster cyclists or pedestrians. The time has come to deliver on this long held objective.
