Chief Executive’s Response & Recommendation

outside of the City Docks – the bridge serving a largely strategic traffic role. Seventy-five per cent of trips will be by green sustainable transport modes. Recommendation: No change. A Mobility Hub Feasibility Study will be procured in 2022 to guide the nature and type of mobility hubs to be developed. Recommendation: No change. The design of an upgrade scheme to Monahan’s Road will to be considered as part of the Framework Masterplan for the City Docks. Recommendation: No change. There will be consequential updates to development plan policy for the City Docks following the completion of the Study. It is anticipated that the Final Study will be signed-off by end 2021. Recommendation: Include changes consequential to the finalisation of the South Docks Drainage Strategy 2021 into the Proposed Amendments, as required.

The Mobility Hub concept is strongly praised. However, it is considered that the hubs should not be a car-dominated space otherwise they will be perceived as a car park. The proposed 300 car parking spaces at each mobility hub should be reduced to produce mobility hubs where public and active travel along with micro-mobility receive equal billing with car parking. It is submitted that the proposal to dissect the Marina Windows (Auburn House) building on Victoria Road / Monahan’s Road with a new street result in a highly inefficient use of the site, even with the creation of a focal landmark building on it (an objective of the SDLAP 2008). The Draft Plan will need to be updated to incorporate any updates to the South Docks Drainage Strategy when the study has been completed.
