MOTION NO. 286

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

that there is no access to the new builds from Ashwood Estate 

Cllrs G. O Connell, P. Gogarty and L. O'Toole 

REPORT:

The Draft Planning Scheme is cognisant of existing established residential area and requires new development to respect the surrounding context.

The Draft Planning Scheme provides for a new vehicular access from Bawnogue Road to serve the proposed development tot the rear of Ashwood. In addition, the Planning Scheme provides for two new connections from Ashwood Road to the proposed development. These accesses are required to connect the proposed development with the existing residential area.

In addition, these accesses offer existing and proposed residents route choice thus helping to dissipate traffic in the area. This is in accordance with the recommendations of the Design Manual for Unban Roads and Streets (DMURS), which are statutory guidelines that have been issued by the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government under Section 28 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended).
