MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, July 11, 2011

HEADED ITEM NO. 9

REPORT ON PART 8 OF THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT ACT, 2000 AND THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS 2001 – 2007

NANGOR ROAD – CONSTRUCTION OF NEW ACCESS ROAD SCHEME, CLONDALKIN, DUBLIN 22

REPORT:

It is proposed to construct a new road scheme off the Nangor Road, Clondalkin in two phases.  The proposal will provide access to Council owned development lands at Milltown, Clondalkin.  The provision of an access road to these lands would be advantageous to the Council in attracting inward investment.   The proposed scheme will include the following:

1.      Construction of approximately 254m of dual carriageway leading off the Nangor Road roundabout and extending into Profile Park Business Park in Phase 1

2.      Construction of approximately 68m of single carriageway to facilitate the extension of an internal road within the Business Park in Phase 2

3.      Construction of cycletracks and footpaths

4.      Provision of drainage and associated features

5.      Provision of public lighting and signing

6.      Relocation of services where necessary

7.      Provision of other services where necessary

The proposal was advertised in the Irish Independent and plans and particulars of the proposed works were put on display in the Council's offices in Tallaght and Clondalkin from the 16th May 2011 for the prescribed period and one submission was received during this period.

Gretta Hannigan, Senior Fisheries Environmental Officer, Inland Fisheries Ireland   Response  
From the proposed scheme drawing, it apears that the Phase 1 section of the works may involve a watercourse crossing within the Griffeen River catchment, in that event we would request design details on the proposal and installation in compliance with an agreed method statement.  All works should be completed in accordance with best practice.   It is not envisaged that a crossing of a watercourse within the Griffeen River catchment would be necessary during the course of the works.  However, should a crossing be required, design details and method statements will be furnished to Inland Fisheries Ireland prior to works proceeding.  All works shall be complete in accordance with best practice.  

Recommendation

Following consideration of the submission, the Council is of the view that the issue raised by way of submission has been satisfactorily responded to.

It is therefore recommended that, as the proposal is in conformity with proper planning and sustainable development, the Council approve the proposal for the construction of a new access road scheme off Nangor Road, Clondalkin, Dublin 22 as set  out in the foregoing report and as shown on the recommended scheme drawings.
