MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 15

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

That the Chief Executive engages with the developer of the land behind Hillcrest Heights backing on to the (address provided) with a view to making the boundary safer, ideally through the provision of fencing, as, while engagement in relation to tree planting has been welcomed, this has not prevented vandalism to the rear of properties, and the ditch at this location also presents a potential hazard to young children.

REPORT:

The Planning Section engages with the developers in the Adamstown SDZ and will continue to do so. The overall site to the rear of Hillcrest Heights is partially complete with units occupied and partially under construction. The developer has engaged with residents on the boundary treatment and also with SDCC Parks and some additional planting has been carried out. The Planning Section understands that more planting will happen in the appropriate planting season. It is considered that the completion and occupation of all the units will provide increased passive surveillance of the area.
The Planning Authority has received a request for a pre planning consultation in regard to amendments to the site and potential amendments to the boundary treatment can be discussed at that consultation.
