QUESTION NO. 11

QUESTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

"To ask the Chief Executive to report on current road plans joining The Paddocks and Tandy's Lane including maps of original plans and maps of current plans; to outline how the revised road plan will impact on residents of the Paddocks and residents of Dodsboro, and how any additional traffic will be managed at this busy location; and if he will make a statement?"

REPLY:

 Please find attached maps of the Tandy Lane area of Lucan:

   1. prior to Adamstown Paddocks been developed and

   2. post completion of all Adamstown works (approved SDZ)

Approved Housing construction works under the Adamstown SDZ planning scheme at the Paddocks, Adamstown are nearing completion. Part of these works involves road works joining the Paddocks to Tandy's Lane /Dodsboro Road. There are additional future links to be made between the Paddocks, Adamstown and the existing roads network and all of these are on the approved SDZ. All new through roads once opened introduce permeability into the roads network. Vendors who wish to live in Cul De Sac type developments tend to buy in such locations while those who live on or buy into through road type developments do so in full knowledge of the existing and proposed road layout for a development. The developer is only carrying out the work that they are obliged to do. This in turn will lead to the Taking In Charge of the Paddocks. SDCC only expect traffic commensurate with the type of development that is being constructed.
