MOTION NO. 9

MOTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

That Table 1.10 be amended to remove the references to “No local road constraints” from each of the listing for “Lucan (incl. Adamstown)” and “Clondalkin (incl. Clonburris)”.

Co sponsored by Cllr. Casserly

REPORT:

Table 1.10 outlines the South Dublin County Development Plan 2016 -2022 Total Capacity in a residential context in the County. A column is included headed ‘Infrastructure Comment’ and it is stated that there are ‘no local road constraints’ for the Metropolitan Consolidation Towns of Lucan and Clondalkin.

The content of the motion is acceptable as the term ‘local roads’ relates to the lowest level roads in street network hierarchy. Table 1.10 in the Core Strategy relates to the strategic delivery of residential units and the term ‘local' is inappropriate in this context.

The Metropolitan Consolidation Towns of Tallaght, Clondalkin and Lucan are well serviced by strategic national and regional roads including the R148, R120, N81, N4, M50 & N7.  As such, the text in table 1.10 is recommended to be amended.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted

Text in Table 1.10 be amended as follows

 ‘No local road constraints’ to be replaced with ‘No strategic road constraints’

In each of the listing for “Lucan (incl. Adamstown)”, “Clondalkin (incl. Clonburris)” and Tallaght.
