HEADED ITEM NO. 8

EXTENSION OF THE ACCESS ROAD TO THE PADDOCKS FROM NEWCASTLE ROAD TO LINK WITH TANDY’S LANE

For ease of reference and to inform the members of a previous question linked to this HI, please find attached Q11 reply from the February ACM:

"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."

Current position:

The extension of the main Paddocks access road from the traffic lights at the R120 is not part of the work presently underway. In a recent meeting with Castlethorn SDCC expressed the benefits of having this road completed at the earliest opportunity and these were accepted by Castlethorn. As the new investors in Adamstown are still in discussion with the Receiver for the Paddocks, we await a conclusions of these discussions in order that SDCC will know who they are dealing with in trying to have the extension delivered as early as possible in the Paddocks timeframe.
