Templeford Ltd.

Summary of Submission and Observation:

Submission requests that the Draft City Plan be amended to include a clear and realistic strategy to facilitate development of the Tier 1 sites in the South Docklands within the next Plan period. The submission further states that this must include provision for a multi-modal Water Street Bridge to be developed within the first tranche of the Infrastructure Programme.

The submission states the following:

• That the Draft City Plan be amended to include a clear and realistic strategy to facilitate development of the Tier 1 sites in the South Docklands within the next Plan period. In our opinion this must include provision for a multi-modal Water Street Bridge to be developed within the first tranche of the Infrastructure Programme. • Submission aims to highlight the traffic and transport constraints on the viability of the redevelopment of client’s site (Marina Commercial Park) which should be addressed in the Amended Draft of the City Plan. • It is acknowledged that radical traffic management measures will be introduced to reduce demand on the road network when a high capacity public transport network is available in the medium to long term. However, that long term objective is not sufficient reason for the failure to provide the improvements to the road network which are (a) specific objectives of the current City Plan and SDLAP; (b) formally approved by An Bord Pleanala under 28. HA0013; and (c) essential to facilitate any viable redevelopment projects in the short to medium term.

Grangefield Developments Ltd

Summary of Submission and Observation:

Submission relates to a rezoning request for lands located at the Clifton Convalescent Home, Montenotte. The required change is for the existing ZO 18 Landscape Preservation Zone to be removed and changed to residential zoning. The submission states the following: • These lands are currently zoned for a mix of residential development and landscape preservation in the current City Plan 2015-2021 and in the Draft City Plan 2022-2028. • The submission seeks that the Council rezone the property for residential use subject to the requirement that a development brief be prepared to protect any features of landscape value.
