Add 'Which will be monitored ensuring that the use of flat developments will not be exploited within the current rental market'
GI 5 Objective 3: To add in as a new bullet point “To plant “pocket forests” in tracts of open grassland to act as an oasis for biodiversity”.
GF4 appendix 4, p148 Add: 'and open spaces within residential areas'. To read: 'To promote biodiversity friendly parks and open spaces within residential areas'.!
GI 6 Objective 8: To plant hedgerows along busy roads including Dodder View Road in Rathfarnham, which are adjacent to estates, to mitigate noise and air pollution, increase visual amenity and enhance biodiversity – to move this to human health and wellbeing and put it in as a new objective GI 6 Objective 8.
COS 5 SLO2: “To protect green spaces in Stonepark Abbey and Willbrook Estate in Rathfarnham by designating them or continuing to designate them as OS”
GF1 Ballycullen, p148: Add SLO: To promote the benefits of local produce through the provision of space for a regular farmers market in OS in the Firhouse area'
NCBH 2 Objective 4: “To protect our rivers and in particular to avoid overdevelopment which could have an adverse effect on the biodiversity and ecosystems of the river”
Re. L10 Tallaght - Dublin Mountain Link, appendix p131: To mitigate the impacts of dumping and pollution by ensuring greater access to large item waste removal in key areas and the provision of trash traps in waterways to protect river habitats, amenity and water quality.
SM4, Add Objective: Where feasible the incorporation of wildlife crossings including bridges and underpasses into the designs for new road infrastructure & where possible incorporation of such measures into the existing road network.
NCBH 10 Objective 2: “To ensure that the Council immediately and appropriately, treats invasive species such as Japanese Knotweed where notified by residents that such species pose a potential threat to their property”.
SLO in the County Development Plan to ensure that high quality design is deployed in all County Town projects (public and private). The design should acknowledge the historic profile of Tallaght and it's geography. The design should not become overly monotonous and uniform rows of overly urban massed block buildings. It should be broken up by use of materials, shapes, architectural features and interest.
"SLO - Access points to the Dodder valley need park info boards, with by laws, nature info. SLO - Signpost our rivers clearly, at regular intervals on the rivers to help embed a greater awareness and value of the river."
SM2 SL02: To consider an offroad shared cycle and pedestrian path from Stocking Lane to the Hellfire Club to provide a safe alternative to cars, to access this amenity.
SLO - A desire to have the river Dodder central and more visible to the valley parkland - much is masked and hidden behind a strong, deep barrier of trees and brambles depriving park visitors of an opportunity to view, appreciate or interact with the river from the M50 upwards. Regular 'viewing' spots along the river side that might require sensitive and selctive pruning of riverbank growth, particularly at the Old Bawn bridge and waterfall and Balrothery Weir and watercourse.
GI 2. Add Objective: To reduce the degree of habitat fragmentation caused by road construction with the incorporation of green bridges and wildlife underpasses where feasible.
propose a project to research and produce a map of the County Town that shows the field names and farmlands in 1920 over the 2020 map of Tallaght.
Core Strategy and Settlement Strategy: CS3 Objective 1: To add in at the end of this objective the words “and to ensure that brownfield sites are prioritised for development over greenfield sites in line with the regional strategy”.
Can SDCC identify locations where there are 4 or more utility boxes clustered at visible locations in residential areas and pilot an approach for suppliers to work together to trial methods to share cabinets, or locate them underground to minimise the visual impact ? Suggest the Old Bawn Rd junction as a first pilot location. ( Part 8 project will require the ground to be open for cabling etc in 2022, so ideal opportunity)
Strong design guidelines are needed to protect the residential public realms where above ground utility boxes and masts are being sought to be installed on public land, particularly in established residential areas - they need to place the residential aesthetic at the heart of the design process.
NCBH 26 SLO1: To carry out sympathetic improvements to the area around and including the Mill Race Bridge in Rathfarnham.
