MOTION NO.354

MOTION: Councillor E. O'Brien

Noting that there will be increased vehicular movements along the Outer Ring Road (R136) that during construction of Phase 1A this local authority takes steps to reduce noise pollution along the said Outer Ring Road with particular reference to Moy Glas and Foxborough estates. Plan to be amended at Section 2.2.4 page 27

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.
