10.170 The range of building heights proposed enhance key views and reinforce unique landscape features, most notably that of Tivoli Ridge. Importantly, the strategy seeks to integrate with Tivoli Ridge by protecting views of the top-third and framing key views of the Tivoli Merchant Houses. 10.171 Based on this approach, three locations for tall buildings are identified. Each tall building will need to apply designs that integrate with and respect their local environment, while reflecting their wider setting: 1. West: a visual marker at the entrance to Tivoli Docks closest to the city. 2. Centre: defining Tivoli Central Park and the adjoining waterfront. 3. Train Station: a viable and vibrant building beside the public transport hub. Blackrock River Lee Marina

10.169 Tivoli UDBHS (2021) sets out guidance for the delivery of building heights and tall buildings. This guidance is based on a detailed assessment of the site and its surrounding environment. The methodology applied seeks to protect and enhance specific local character assets identified in the area. This includes the character of the waterfront, the areas rolling topography, key views and existing landmarks. In tandem with the overall urban framework plan, these characteristics have shaped the policy approach for building heights in Tivoli Docks, as set out in this plan.
