MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

To ask the Chief Executive if SDCC will explore possibilities of creating a new entrance to the new Lucan United all-weather pith facility from TUBBER lane into the pitch, considering their plans to upgrade the road at this location

REPORT:

Planning permission for the northern section of the Celbridge Link Road - which includes a small section of works to Tubber Lane - was granted approval under Part VIII SD178/009. The Part VIII approval includes for a new vehicular cul-de-sac on Tubber Lane, with pedestrian and cyclist access between the cul-de-sac and the Celbridge Link Road. The Part VIII approval did not include for a new entrance to the Lucan United all-weather pitch facility. The delivery of a new entrance at this location would not be in accordance with the Part VIII planning approval. 

In addition, the red line boundary detailed within the Part VIII planning documents and associated approval does not include the lands in question and, for the purposes of clarity, the proposed entrance would be located approx. 300 metres outside the Part VIII red line boundary.

The Celbridge Link Road is currently under construction and the lands in question are also located outside the 'Lands Made Available' to the contractor within the contract documents  and, therefore, outside the scope of the Celbridge Link Road Project. The provision of a new entrance at this location as part of the delivery of the Celbridge Link Road is not feasible.
