SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 3

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

This committee requests the Chief Executive to revisit the layout of the lanes going west to east the L1030 junction. To examine how changes from the original SDZ16A/005 regarding the removal of the culdesac in the development would benefit the area and road users. Both the movement of the traffic along L1030 and access from L1030 to Newcastle Road needs to be further examined. The change removing the culdesac was not highlighted with local cllrs at the time of proposals from SDCC management, albeit it was noted in a report in the extensive large planning file. Considering there is a huge volume of developments current and future within the Adamstown SDZ and many granted applications submit a follow up amended application altering a number of aspects of the original plans, there needs to be an improved way of bringing these changes to the attention of local cllrs. The members ask that Chief Executive considers this proposal.

REPORT:

The subject street is not in the charge of SDCC at present. The layout and configuration of the street is required to be constructed by the developer in accordance with permitted planning permissions.  When taken in charge, the traffic section can relook at the full junction.

There are a substantial number of planning applications submitted in the Adamstown SDZ. Planning legislation does not restrict the number of planning applications on a subject site or limit the number of overall planning applications. It is not possible for the Planning Authority to brief the local councillors on all elements of planning applications. The weekly planning lists provide the full details of received and decided planning applications.
