MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, May 25, 2020

QUESTION NO. 8

QUESTION: Councillor K. Mahon

"At recent discussions about the Part 8 in the area and the relocation of the NO2 monitor it was suggested and agreed that hedging would be used to reduce the visual impact of the utility boxes and that a hedge perimeter would be planted along the Old Bawd Rd side of Brady's Field. Can the Chief Executive confirm that this will happen?"

REPLY:

All boundaries surrounding the development will be addressed prior to commencement of construction of the scheme. As part of the approved Part 8 development the Council has committed to establishing a liaison group led by the Council’s Housing and Architectural Services teams to liaise and communicate with local resident representatives and local area Elected Members regarding the construction programme including boundary treatments and in relation to the “Old Bawn” name stone and the “Tree of Hope”. A low granite wall and railings will be provided to the perimeter of the site. Appropriate planting will be incorporated into the scheme in accordance with the requirements of the Council’s Public Realm Taking in Charge standard.
