Summary of Submission and Observation:
• By building a large urban park, we can design it from ground up. • Have it built with areas for public gatherings; with adequate car park spaces and connected to public transport to allow people to visit with ease. B • y planning and designing the urban park now we will have the advantage of designing a truly modern urban park. • We can have large scale playgrounds, concert areas, outdoor gazebos that allow for outdoor plays/music concerts and events that are aimed at up and coming bands or theatre groups We could design the paths so that they are well lit and in easy access to car parks. • We can have cycle lanes and use it for cycle races and marathons. • While we have parks in the city that fulfil some of the above functions, this new urban park would fulfil all of the functions on a larger scale that can be planned to take into account of our growing population with the advantage of having space to accommodate more activities.

Summary of Submission and Observation:
• Request to the Planning Authority to amend proposed policies for lands at Farmers Cross and Lehenaghmore. • As it stands, the Draft Development Plan completely ignores these properties and places inconsistent and unwarranted restrictions on their development; restrictions that contrast sharply with the promotion of extensive new business and technology and commercial uses at other locations in close proximity to the Airport. • Development objectives for the area are therefore entirely focused on the protection and expansion of the Airport. In short, it would appear that the Draft City development Plan has completely ignored that fact that there are over 50 residential properties clustered together in this area. • While identified on Map 15 of the Plan, there does not appear to be any written objective for ZO 23 which is stated to be an “Airport Development Safeguard & Framework Area”. • Nor is there any written objective in Chapter 12 for ZO 24, which is notated as “Runway Extension”. • Indeed section 12.2 of the Plan states that there are only 22 zoning objectives and not the 24 suggested by Map 15. I submit that it is crucial that the preparation of this Framework Plan does not disenfranchise or marginalise property owners and residents who will be most impacted by development at the Airport.
