MEETING OF SDZ, LAPS AND PLANNING PROJECTS

MOTION NO.353

MOTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

That table 4.3 be amended to include the following text under ‘Prior to commencement of development’: “Provision of increased boundary walls, timber screening on top of existing walls, or full-height timber screening in place of railings (whichever appropriate) to act as noise pollution screening along the boundaries of Foxborough and Moy Glas estates with Grangecastle Road.”

REPORT:

In relation to the Moy Glas and Foxborough residential estates, these are both outside the Strategic Development Zone boundary and are therefore outside the scope of the Planning Scheme.

It is noted however that Policy IE7 SLO 1, of the SDCC County Development Plan 2016-2022, refers to noise barriers and states To provide noise barriers along the uncovered parts of Moy Glas estate facing the Outer Ring Road and 100m along Griffeen Avenue.

It is considered that this issue is outside the scope of the Planning Scheme, is also addressed separately under the County Development Plan 2016-2022 and should therefore not be adopted.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is not adopted.
