Ballymount (Urban Rewal Development Fund) Oct 18
REPLY:
On 28 September 2018, South Dublin County Council (SDCC) submitted two proposals to the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government (the Minister) for funding under the Urban Regeneration & Development Fund (URDF) 2018 Call for Proposals, for Tallaght Town Centre and the Naas Road / Ballymount area.
The Naas Road / Ballymount bid, a Category B proposal totalling €437,500, relates to undertaking the survey/analysis stage and full masterplanning of these strategic lands in consultation with SDCC. The outcome of this Category B bid will be a plan led innovative approach, including:
- A review of the Naas Road Framework Plan (2010) and variation of the Land Use Zoning of the subject lands;
- Transport Assessment & Strategy;
- Economic Viability Study;
- Surface Water Management Strategy & Flood Risk Assessment;
- Constraints Study; and
- Communications and Branding Strategy.
The delivery of the outcomes above will position SDCC, in collaboration with Dublin City Council, to prepare a Category A application to the URDF in 2020.
The Tallaght bid, a Category A proposal totalling €28.2 million, relates to a number of projects, which upon joint delivery will act as a catalyst for the wider and long term growth of Tallaght, as a living town and the thriving heart of South Dublin County.
By end of Q4 2018, the Minister is expected to make a decision on both applications.
