MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, June 28, 2022

QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

To ask the Chief Executive, in follow up from residents of Hillcrest Grove if the Council will schedule the planting of additional trees and hedging at the boundary with Adamstown SZD and Super Valu shopping centre, given that the area is something of an eyesore at present, given that additional building will be taking place over the wall and additional screening is required in any event, and especially as the Council confirmed during a motion debate last year that it will not be creating an opening at this location, in line with the wishes of residents.

REPLY:

The site within the SDZ is required to be completed in accordance with the permitted planning permission SDZ19A/0004, including landscaping etc. The Hillcrest Grove is an established housing estate and it will be considered by the EWCC Section in accordance with the ‘Living with Trees’ Tree Management Policy 2021 -2026.
