Amendment No. 1 - Ballynakelly Newcastle
To include an SLO on the lands as follows: ‘No bulk purchases on units built on these lands only individual private purchases permitted as stipulation on planning permission’.
REASON: Aimed to avoid bulk purchases i.e. pension funds, government department's, investors. To prioritise family's and first time buyers becoming owners.
Can the Chief Executive arrange an on-site meeting with representatives of the three schools located along Station Road, Adamstown together with relevant Council officials to discuss the ongoing traffic management and road safety concerns on this route? Given that requests for engagement on this matter have previously been raised through the Traffic Management Meeting (TMM) process can the Chief Executive also provide an update on any actions taken to date and outline what measures are being considered to improve traffic flow, pedestrian safety and school access along this stretch of Station Road?.
Can the Chief Executive confirm whether the limestone surfaces, steps and seating elements installed as part of the Lucan Village Green project have been treated with an appropriate protective sealant to minimise staining, weathering and surface marking? Given the susceptibility of limestone to marking and discolouration can the Chief Executive also outline the maintenance and cleansing programme that will apply to the Village Green, including the frequency of cleaning of the steps and other limestone features and whether a long-term maintenance plan was considered as part of the design and material selection process.
"To ask the Council for an update on what is being proposed (if anything) for the junction on the N81 at Tallaght Village/Old Bawn road?"
To ask the manager how many fines have been issued for dogs off leashes in public parks in this LEA in the last 12 months and to identify the number of fines per park.
Amendment No. 9 Knockmeenagh Framework Site (p421) That this Council amends CS7 SLO7 contained within Amendment No. 9 by inserting the following additional requirement: - Provision of an All Weather Football pitch
REASON : Under the SDCC Pitch Strategy it was envisaged that a full size all weather football pitch would be located in the Clondalkin area. This has however not been found to be possible due to lack of public land available. The Knockmeenagh Framework site contains one such possible location.
That the proposed Amendment No. 3 St. Finnstown including the related CS7 SLO7 is deleted from the part of Proposed Variation and replaced by an amendment that retains the current zoning of open space but designates this site as Future Strategic Long Term Development Area and relates this designation to CS3 Objective 4 and CS03 1 to 3 and relevant SLOs.
REASON: That the proposed variation rezones an entire site for residential that has been an amenity - a heritage hotel and associated green space. It misses an opportunity to extend Tandy's Lane Park. It fronts on to a traffic congestion hot spot. To amend the proposed variation to make this a Future Strategic Long Term Development Area allows these issues to be considered thoroughly, including the possibility of a proposal that retains a substantial area of open space. This could be done as early as 2 years from now during the next County Development Plan process.
Cllr. Joanna Tuffy Cllr. Caroline Brady
Amendment No. 9 Knockmeenagh Framework Site (p421) That this Council increases the area covered by Amendment No 9 to include the triangular shaped parcel of land to the east of the L1020 (which leads to the Joe Williams Bridge) that is bordered by the Monastery Road and the Old Naas Road/N7.
REASON : I believe that the Regen Zoning offers better possibility for an improved entrance vista to Clondalkin at this landmark corner where the Monastery Road meets the Naas Road. It's main tenant is currently the Leinster Motor Group although they are not the land owner.
Amendment 2(Adamstown SW) Amend the proposed SLO no 1 to delete: Development may not commence until Dart+ Southwest or the commencement of an equivalent rail service to the Dart has commenced construction or operation, as may be relevant. And replace with: That development shall not commence in advance of the delivery of additional capacity on the rail service to Adamstown and Kishoge, and that the occupation of residential units be subject to the commencement and operation of the Dart+ South West service, or the commencement of an equivalent rail service to the Dart.
Reason: The current rail infrastructure is already operating at full capacity and urgently needs to be upgraded before additional demand comes onstream. Homes must be delivered hand in hand with the necessary increased infrastructure, therefore the population along this rail corridor should not be increased until Dart+ South West is operational.
That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to deliver a municipal all-weather, multi-use pitch facility within the Palmerstown/Fonthill LEA, supported by appropriate drainage, lighting and ancillary infrastructure, to ensure year-round access for local sports clubs, schools and community groups.
Amendment 1 - Ballynakelly Newcastle
SLO to be applied that a parking space be a requirement per Unit proposed in a planning application on this land.
Amendment No. 17 Adamstown South and West (Outer) and Policy CS3: Future Strategic Long-Term Development Areas Add To investigate as part of the study the provision of a second rail station within the Adamstown area, on lands identified as future strategic development lands under Variation No. 2, to serve the long-term development of these lands and the wider area. Reason: To support the long-term development of the area through integrated transport and urban design, by investigating the provision of a second rail station within closer proximity to future communities, improving accessibility, connectivity and public transport choice for residents across Adamstown and surrounding lands.
Amendment 1 - Ballynakelly Newcastle
SLO to be applied for the maximum level of social housing to be applied as a stipulation upon receiving planning permission for residential dwellings on this land. The 20% requirement to be applied as a requirement when lodging a planning application.
Amendment 14 (Foxhunter) Add That no vehicular access be provided to this site through Hermitage estate. Reason: This is in line with rulings from An Bord Pleanala.
Motion: Amendment Ref No 6. (St Edmundsbury) Propose: that Amendment No.6 (St Edmundsbury) be withdrawn; that the designation of lands at St Edmundsbury that are the subject of this Material Variation remain zoned HA-LV; that this proposed rezoning cannot proceed as it is a complete departure from decades long commitment by the Planning Authority to protecting the subject lands as part of the Liffey Valley; that the status quo (as provided for in the South Dublin County Development Plan 2022-2028) regarding of the zoning designation of the said St Edmundsbury lands be preserved; Reason: The proposed rezoning is a disproportionate and arbitrary response to the National Planning Framework. The proposed rezoning is wholly premature given the incomplete build out of the Adamstown SDZ and Clonburris SDZ. The subject lands form an integral component of the Liffey Valley green infrastructure network, acting as a strategic ecological corridor linking St. Catherine's Park, Lucan Demesne and downstream habitats along the River Liffey. The proposed rezoning (amongst others) places a disproportionate burden on Lucan and the Lucan Electoral Area in terms of the County wide compliance with the National Planning Framework. This proposed rezoning would lead to a catastrophic loss of green space. The subject lands have very poor access and egress points, decanting onto a road network that is currently at saturation point. The proposed rezoning would result in the permanent and irreversible loss of habitat, fragmentation of wildlife corridors, and a reduction in overall biodiversity resilience. The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (DHLGH), through the NPWS, highlights that the lands at St. Edmundsbury, proposed for rezoning from High Amenity (HA-LV) to residential, are of high ecological sensitivity, given their proximity to the Liffey Valley proposed Natural Heritage Area (pNHA) and Special Amenity Area. The subject lands contain a number of protected structures and are also situated adjacent to the Liffey Valley Special Amenity Area Order (SAAO), which is recognised as an area of high scenic, ecological and cultural value. CS7 SLO2: Development on RES-N zoned lands at St. Edmundsbury, Lucan Road is insufficient, ad hoc, piece meal and a manifestly inferior measure to protect the subject lands.

Motion: Amendment No 3. (Finnstown Castle) Propose: that Amendment No.3 (Finnstown Castle) be withdrawn; that the designation of lands at Finnstown Castle that are the subject of this Material Variation remain zoned OS; that a site specific SLO is an insufficient protective measure for these important green belt lands and; that the status quo (as provided for in the South Dublin County Development Plan 2022-2028) regarding of the zoning designation of the said Finnstown Castle lands be preserved;
Reason: The proposed rezoning is a disproportionate and arbitrary response to the National Planning Framework. The proposed rezoning is wholly premature given the incomplete build out of the Adamstown SDZ and Clonburris SDZ. The proposed rezoning was fully considered, deliberated upon and ultimately rejected during the original County Development Plan process in 2022. The proposed rezoning would be injurious to a protected structure - Finnstown Castle The proposed rezoning (amongst others) places a disproportionate burden on Lucan and the Lucan Electoral Area in terms of the County wide compliance with the National Planning Framework. This proposed rezoning would lead to a catastrophic loss of green space as the subject lands are the last piece of green belt buffer from the N4 to 12th Lock of the Grand Canal along the Newcastle Road corridor. The subject lands have very poor access and egress points, the Newcastle Road (R120) is currently at saturation point, the only other access part is a designated local access road - Old Tandy's Lane The proposed rezoning on the face of it constitutes a de facto alteration to the Adamstown SDZ boundary - it is noted that a large number of submissions have raised legal concerns on this point under the Doctrine of Legitimate Expectations. In the future an opinion from the County Law Agent should be sought to clarify whether this proposal creates a potential legal liability for the County The CE's report concedes that the 'submissions raise consistent and strongly held concerns that the Lucan-Adamstown area is experiencing unsustainable levels of development, characterised by cumulative population growth, a concentration of housing delivery, and infrastructure provision not keeping pace with development' The CE's report also concedes that 'Submissions also raise concerns that a disproportionate quantum of lands identified under the proposed variation are located within the Lucan-Adamstown area and that The Planning Authority acknowledges the perception that a disproportionate share of future development is directed to the Lucan area' The CE's report also concedes that 'the Planning Authority notes the strength and volume of submissions objecting to the principle of rezoning the Finnstown Castle lands from Open Space to Residential, including concerns regarding loss of greenfield land, perceived departure from long-standing planning intent and the role of the lands as an environmental and visual buffer between Adamstown, Lucan village and the road network. The importance of Finnstown Castle as a landscape feature and part of the wider green infrastructure network is acknowledged.' The CE's report 'acknowledges that significant congestion exists along the R120 (Newcastle Road) and surrounding routes, with impacts on accessibility'. The CE's report 'acknowledges the concerns raised in submissions regarding pressure on schools, healthcare provision and wider community and social facilities in the Finnstown-Adamstown-Lucan area. These matters are recognised as fundamental to the creation of sustainable communities
