Part 8 Report - Templeogue Village Public Car Park Scheme (Phase 2)
1. Introduction
Part VIII of the Local Government Planning and Development Regulations 2001 outlines the requirements in respect of certain classes of Local Authority Developments. These regulations apply to the proposed Templeogue Village Public Car Park Scheme (Phase 2)
The Templeogue Village Public Car Park Scheme (Phase 2) will consist of the following:
- 37 car parking spaces in a newly constructed car park on the eastern side of Riverside Cottage Lane, Templeogue
- Height restriction barrier at access and egress points
- Boundary wall along laneway in keeping with existing adjacent public car park
- Construction of (subject to agreement with landowner) pedestrian access way to Templeogue Road via private car park (marked “A-B” on the attached plan AOM/TE/07/01)
- Construction of (subject to agreement with landowner) entrance from private car park into proposed car park (marked “C” on the attached plan AOM/TE/07/01)
- Provision of associated public lighting.
The intention of the scheme is to:
- Provide additional parking spaces in Templeogue Village adjacent to the existing car park
- Provide, with agreement of the owner, a pedestrian access way to the village via private land
The overall impacts of the proposal are:
- Overall improved access to Templeogue Village for members of the public, and persons carrying out their business in the village area.
- Reduced time spent searching by car for parking in Templeogue Village.
- Decreased congestion from double parked vehicles
- Additional traffic movements on Riverside Cottages between Templeogue Road and the car park
- Two additional disabled parking spaces within the proposed car park.

The proposal was advertised in the Irish Independent and The Echo in accordance with Part 8 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 and was on public display from Wednesday 13th June 2007 to Friday 13th July 2007 at:
- South Dublin County Council Offices, County Hall, Tallaght, Dublin 24.
