MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 25

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

This committee seeks clarification on the planning process regarding the implementation of traffic management / active travel policy within a granted planning permission. In recent weeks Liffey Valley has announced its plans to introduce a car park charge. The manner in which it's been introduced which includes integrating it into the new bus network/ terminus at the shopping centre, is this now considered a park and ride facility. An understanding of how the decision is decided upon needs to made clear to local councillors and the public.

REPORT:

Charging for car parking at Liffey Valley Shopping Centre is a demand-management measure that forms part of planning permission for the new bus interchange facility at the shopping centre - SD19A/0320 – An Bord Pleanala Reference 306251-19 relates (amended by SD21A/0291).

The need to charge for car parking as a demand management measure was also raised by Transport Infrastructure Ireland during the assessment of planning application SD20A/0089 (An Bord Pleanala Reference 310119-21 also relates) for an expansion of the existing Shopping Centre to provide an additional (around) 47,000 sq m of leisure, entertainment and retail floorspace.

The Planning Authority has not received a planning application for a Park and Ride service at Liffey Valley Shopping Centre.
