Errors and Corrections (Proposed Draft Development Plan) 561

1001
Councillor(s) Cllr. Mannix Flynn
Motion
That the Development plan delete all references to the BID Company Dublin-Town throughout the
development plan document and replace it with the word relevant stakeholders/businesses and
business representative organizations.
Reason: This is to ensure that there is an equal playing pitch for businesses and individuals. Also
it would be inappropriate for the DCC Development plan to enshrine one private company
representing businesses over another. There is also serious public concern with regard the BID
Company Dublin Town by members of the BID Company and they have yet to be addressed.
Statutory organisations and authorities should be the only entities that are name checked though
out the development plan otherwise one could cite the unfair promotion of one company over
another.
Motion
Refers to: Chapter 1 - Strategic Context for the City Development Plan
Chief Executive's Report
The key objectives of the statutory BID scheme is to develop and implement a series of new and
additional initiatives designed to both further promote and improve the trading environment for the
area within the BID boundary in which ratepayers operate their business. It is also designed to
improve the image of Dublin City Centre from a tourist perspective and improve the quality of life
for residents and workers in the BID area. The City Council is represented on the Board of Dublin
BID/We are Dublin Town.
Policy RD15 states “To facilitate and support Dublin‟s Business Improvement District (BID) and
particularly the promotion and facilitation of a vibrant and safe night economy.
www.wearedublintown.ie” (p83).
Chief Executive's Recommendation
Retain policy RD15 (p83) as above.

1002
Motion
That this development plan deletes all references to the term Parnell Cultural Quarter and replace
it with an appropriate term central library quarter.
Reason: The development plan in its entirety is cluttered with jargon and terminologies that have
little substance in them. Words like „clusters‟ and „hubs‟ and „core centre‟ „cultural quarters‟ and
„creative districts‟ are pointless. There isn‟t a plan for a cultural quarter for the Parnell Square
area – there is a plan for a central library and relevant facilities. DCC have no other interests and
there are no plans before Dublin City Council to develop any other cultural facilities or library
facilities within the area. And until such time as that happens the word „cultural quarter‟ as a term
used to describe the library project should be discontinued in order to give clarity of focus and
limit confusion.
Motion
The term Parnell Cultural Quarter refers to the general location around the north side of Parnell
Square, at this location there is the existing Hugh Lane Art Gallery, the Dublin Writers Museum,
the Garden of Remembrance and the proposed Dublin City Library, the grouping of these
cultural uses gives rise to the use of the term Parnell Cultural Quarter to describe the area.
Retain existing term "Parnell Cultural Quarter".
1003
Councillor(s) Cllr. Damian O'Farrell
Motion
That the construction element of this City Development Plan should be an improvement on
previous development plans as regards design, build quality, aesthetics, health & safety
standards etc.
Reason: To improve Dublin City and to help ensure we don't have another Priory Hall disaster
Motion
The review draft plan sets out a comprehensive Design Principles and Standards, section 16.2.1,
the Principles have four main elements;
Design that respects and enhances character and context
Sustainable design
Inclusive Design
Design for a safer environment.
Retain existing text at 16.2.1

1004
Councillor(s) Cllr. Éilis Ryan
Motion
As an appendix to the Plan, a Peoples' Development Plan should accompany the City
Development Plan which outlines an assessment of the successes and failures of the last Plan
and makes explicit how community consultation will take place over the timeframe of the new
Plan.
Reason: The Development plan should be made as public and accessible as possible in order to
ensure that planning decisions are made in as democratic a manner as possible.
Motion
The statutory framework for Development Plans is set out in the Planning and Development Act
2010 and does not provide for the proposal made in the Motion. The Act requires requires the
Chief Executive to give a report to the Elected Members, not more than two years after the
making of a Development Plan, on the progress achieved in securing the objectives of the
Development
Plan.
The Development Plan is, in essence, a Peoples Development Plan. It is made by the elected
members of the City Council following consultation and in line with the statutory Development
Plan process.

Councillor(s) Cllr. Andrew Montague
Motion
On page 10 add to "The vision for the city is that: "Our 30 year visions should be a zero carbon
city with all energy coming from renewable energy sources. All buildings will have been built or
retrofitted to near zero energy building standards, which will provide comfortable, warm living and
working environments. We will halve the use of „conventionally-fuelled‟ cars in urban transport by
2030 and phase them out by 2050; achieve essentially CO2-free city logistics in Dublin by 2030.
Within 30 years we will move close to zero fatalities in road transport. In line with this goal, we will
aim to halve road casualties by 2022. It is the policy of this Council to work with its neighbouring
local authorities and the National Transport Authority to achieve a doubling of all active travel and
public transport trips and to halve private vehicular trips in Dublin by 2030."
Reason: to reduce CO2 emissions and work towards a more sustainable future for the city
Motion
Refers to: Chapter 2 - Vision and Core Strategy
The vision for the city set out in section 2.1 (p10) is as follows:
“Within the next 25 to 30 years, Dublin will have an established international reputation as one of
Europe‟s most sustainable, dynamic and resourceful city regions. Dublin, through the shared
vision of its citizens and civic leaders, will be a beautiful, compact city, with a distinct character, a
vibrant culture and a diverse, smart, green, innovation-based economy. It will be a socially
inclusive city of urban neighbourhoods, all connected by an exemplary public transport, cycling
and walking system and interwoven with a quality bio-diverse greenspace network. In short, the
vision is for a capital city where people will seek to live, work, experience and invest in as a
matter of choice.”
Policies and Objectives relevant to the Motion are set out in Chapter 3 „Addressing Climate
Change‟. Objective CCO12 (p33) states: To ensure high standards of energy efficiency in
existing and new developments in line with good architectural conservation practice and to
promote energy efficiency and conservation in the design and development of all new buildings in
the City, encouraging improved environmental performance of building stock.
The 'Climate Change Strategy for Dublin City' is being revised and updated and this will include
key targets and indicators. For new buildings, it is national policy that they are “near-zero energy”
from 2020 onwards, so the proposed Vision is already national policy. It is considered reasonable
that the Development Plan could target low-energy zero carbon for all existing buildings.
Regarding conventionally-fuelled‟ cars; Policy MTO20 (p101) sets out the following: “To support
the growth of Electric Vehicle use as an alternative to the use of fossil fuel burning vehicles,
through a roll-out of additional electric charging points in collaboration with relevant agencies at
appropriate locations”
Regarding safety; Objective MTO36 (p104) states: To tackle the adverse environmental and road
safety impacts in the city through measures such as: .….…."
Policy MT9 sets out the following: To improve the pedestrian environment and promote the
development of a network of pedestrian routes which link residential areas with recreational,
educational and employment destinations to create a pedestrian environment that is safe and
accessible to all. Policy MT7 states: To improve the city‟s environment for walking and cycling
through the implementation of improvements to thoroughfares and junctions and also through the
development of new and safe routes.
Regarding modal split; Policy MT5 sets out: To work with the relevant transport providers,
4

agencies and stakeholders to facilitate the integration of active travel (walking, cycling etc) with
public transport, thereby making it easier for people to access and use the public transport
system. Policy MT6 states: To work with Iarnród Eireann, the NTA, RPA, and other operators, to
progress a coordinated approach to improving the rail network, integrated with other public
transport modes to ensure maximum public benefit and promoting sustainable transport and
improved connectivity
It is recommended that 'a zero carbon city' be added to the Vision so that the amended Vision
reads:
“Within the next 25 to 30 years, Dublin will have an established international reputation as one of
Europe‟s most sustainable, dynamic and resourceful city regions. Dublin, through the shared
vision of its citizens and civic leaders, will be a beautiful, compact city, with a distinct character, a
vibrant culture and a diverse, smart, green, innovation-based economy. It will be a socially
inclusive city of urban neighbourhoods, all connected by an exemplary public transport, cycling
and walking system and interwoven with a quality bio-diverse greenspace network; a zero
carbon city. In short, the vision is for a capital city where people will seek to live, work,
experience and invest in as a matter of choice.”
It is recommended that Objective CCO12 (p33) be amended to add terms 'zero carbon' and 'low
energy' so that amended Objective reads: To ensure high standards of energy efficiency in
existing and new developments in line with good architectural conservation practice and to
promote energy efficiency and conservation in the design and development of all new buildings in
the City, encouraging improved environmental performance of building stock. All new buildings
will be built to near zero energy standards; and all existing will be low energy, zero
carbon.
Objective MTO36 (p104) which states: "To tackle the adverse environmental and road safety
impacts in the city through measures such as: .….….". It is recommended that an additional bullet
point be added, "to support programmes of action which tackle the issue of road safety in
the city".

1006
Motion
A clear definition should be included in the plan of what the council understands to be “longer-
term sustainable growth” (p.11) as used throughout this Draft Plan. This definition of longer-term
sustainable growth should emphasise the priority to be given to affordability, maximizing public
benefit, and a commitment to building quality and affordable housing units, as opposed to
economic concerns alone.
Reason: “Sustainable growth” can be interpreted to mean different things, and the particular
understanding of the council should be identified to avoid confusion.
Motion
A definition of sustainable development is provided in the glossary of the Pre Draft Plan (p326) as
follows:
"The definition of Sustainable Development comes from the Brundtland Commission (1983)
which states it as development “that meets the needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. The Brundtland Commission was convened
as a world commission on the environment amid growing concern for the deterioration of the
natural environment, the depletion of natural resources and consequences for social and
economic development."
The Development Plan must be made in accordance with the Planning Act 2000 (as amended)
the long title of which includes:
"An Act to revise and consolidate the law relating to Planning and Development by repealing and
re-enacting with amendments the local government (Planning and Development ) Acts , 1963 to
1999; to provide , in the interests of the common good, for proper planning and sustainable
development including the provision of Housing."
Throughout the Development Plan, the concept of Sustainable Development reflects a greater
awareness of environmental and social concerns, and not purely economic growth.
Retain reference to "longer term sustainable growth" in plan, given the definitions in the glossary.

1007
Councillor(s) Cllr. Teresa Keegan
Motion
That the Housing Strategy as set out in the Development Plan should be amended to encourage
more public and private development.Though the proposed Housing Strategy as set out in the
pre draft Development Plan is to be welcomed I do not believe it is ambitious enough to meet the
accommodation deficit which is facing the city in the immediate future.
Motion
The Housing Strategy will be implemented by development provided by a variety of sectors -
public, private and approved housing bodies.
The pre-draft development plan and housing strategy are predicated on a projected population
increase of almost 60,000 persons by 2022 based on the currently available Regional Planning
Guidelines 2010 - 2022, the Central Statistics Office 2011 Census results, and population
projections published by the Central Statistics Office in 2013. In this regard, it is estimated that
there is a need to construct 4,217 units each year over the lifetime of the housing strategy.
No change, as the Housing Strategy will be implemented by both public and private development.

1008
Councillor(s) Cllr. Ray McAdam
Motion
Add „Stoneybatter‟ to the list of Key District Centres (KDC‟s) on P.17
Reason: Stoneybatter is located beside Grangegorman and given the City Council‟s intent to „fully
regenerate‟ that part of this city, Stoneybatter should be considered as a Key District Centre with
transport links and is located on one of the main arterial routes in and out of the city. Also in
Table E on P.16, the City Council highlights the need to regenerate and redevelop O‟Devaney
Gardens. Any development of this 16 acre site should not take place in isolation from the rest of
the Stoneybatter district.
Motion
Stoneybatter is an older area of the city with a distinctive street pattern where commercial and
retail businesses predominantly occupy sites of a restricted size. As per the description in Table 2
„Retail Outlet Type‟ in Appendix 3 – Retail Strategy (P 119) a District Centre can range in size
from 10,000 sqm to 20,000 sqm with an anchor store such as a supermarket comprising up to
5,000 sqm net floorspace.
There are 8 KDC's in the city, e.g. Ballymun, Phibsborough. The key district centres (KDCs)
represent the top-tier of urban centres outside the city centre, a number of which form part of the
larger SDRAs. Each of the 8 KDCs underpin a wider area and act as strong spatial hubs
providing a comprehensive range of commercial and community services to the surrounding
populations. All of the designated KDCs closely align to public transport rail corridors, with the
exception of two (Finglas and Northside) which perform an important regeneration role for local
communities. This development plan will reinforce the KDCs as sustainable anchors for the
suburbs.
Therefore a KDC designation for Stoneybatter would be inappropriate, given the lack of sites
offering suitable floorplate potential. To rectify this would require the consolidation of individual
sites that would in turn be detrimental to the areas character. There are also other considerations
regarding the existing and unoccupied retail floorspace in nearby Smithfield, and on the other
hand there are already a number of shopping areas in the locality e.g. Maple Centre and Park
Centre, Prussia Street.

Motion
That the CDP make every effort to implement the Phibsborough Area Plan and that all groups in
the area be given a regular newsletter as to progress with the Plan as community engagement is
an important part of making and implementing LAP‟s
Motion
Implementing the objectives of the LAP is subject to budgets being available to the City
Council and private proposals coming forward for redevelopment.
The Draft Local Area Plan at Section 7.4 IMPLEMENTATION, MONITORING AND REVIEW (p83) sets out the
following "It is the intention to establish a core implementation group, coordinated by the Local Area
Office(s) with input from various City Council Departments, public representatives and other interested
bodies (the composition of which to be agreed by the area committees). This group will meet with Locally
Elected Representatives three times a year to review and prioritise objectives for the year and report on
implementation." It is considered that this sufficiently addresses the intent of the Motion.

Councillor(s) Cllr. Paul Hand
Motion
That the City Development Plan should have a new masterplan or LAP for the Cherry
Orchard/Park West area.
Reason: To maximise community development, sustainable development, employment, new
homes and residential amenity for the citizens of the area.
Motion
Table F p19 of the pre-Draft states that a Local Area Plan will be prepared for the Park
West/Cherry Orchard area.
Retain existing in Table F (above).

1011
Motion
Add „Stoneybatter / Manor Street‟ to the Schedule of proposed statutory Local Area Plans to
deliver the core strategy on P.19 (2.2.8.1 Area-Specific Plans).
Reason: Stoneybatter is located beside Grangegorman and given the City Council‟s intent to „fully
regenerate‟ that part of this city, Stoneybatter should be considered as a Key District Centre with
transport links and is located on one of the main arterial routes in and out of the city. Also in
Table E on P.16, the City Council highlights the need to regenerate and redevelop O‟Devaney
Gardens. Any development of this 16 acre site should not take place in isolation from the rest of
the Stoneybatter district. In order to deliver this objective, a statutory Local Area Plan is the
desired mechanism to complete this plan.
Motion
Local Area Plans (LAPs) are intended for areas that have major development potential and in
need of significant regeneration. Stoneybatter/Manor Street has in fill development potential and
not of a scale that would warrant a LAP.
Amend para 2.2.8.1 (p 19/20) as follows:
"A number of Local Environmental Improvement Plans or Village Improvement Plans, or other
appropriate plans will be prepared in conjunction with the Local Area Committee, in so far as
priorities and resources permit, with the objective of preparing up to 3 LEIP's for each area from

"To prepare a number of local environmental improvement plans, Village
Improvement Plans, Village Design Statements, or other non-statutory plans for existing
District Centres and other areas in need of a relevant plan, in conjunction with the relevant
Area Committee insofar as priorities and resources permit (please see list of proposed list of
LEIP's for prioritisation at para 2.2.8.1)"
11

1012
Motion
The Plan should include details of resourcing plans for the delivery of the planned Area Specific
Plans given their centrality to the Plan as a whole (p.19).
Reason: Without a resourcing plan, the area specific plans are only aspirational.
Motion
It is agreed that Objectives set out in various plans should have regard to likely available
resources and investment, whether from public or private sources and a statement can be
included in the Draft Plan making this explicit.
It should also be noted that the pre - Draft Plan sets out policy on implementation in Chapter 13
'Monitoring, Implementation, and Development Management" which sets out the following at
13.2.2 (p178): "The City Council will actively undertake a leadership role to progress and secure
the Development Plan objectives to achieve the proper planning and sustainable development of
the area. However, as Dublin City Council cannot solely realise its vision in progressing towards a
resilient, low carbon city, ultimately transitioning to a post-carbon economy, that offers a high
quality of life for its citizens, the successful outcome of a significant number of the objectives of
the plan will necessitate on-going collaboration and a sense of goodwill across a range of
agencies and stakeholders."
At 13.2.3 states that it is also an objective of the Development Plan to promote implementation in
a rational and sequential manner, and to ensure that essential facilities are secured and provided
in tandem with proposed developments.
It is recommended that the following statement be added at the end of section 2.2.8.1 (p20) as
follows:
"Objectives set out in the various plans should have regard to likely available resources and
investment, whether from public or private sources."
12

1013
Motion
The Council should, as a priority, commit to the provision of quality and affordable housing that is
suitable and adaptable. This commitment should include the principles of effective property
management it seeks to enshrine in this plan (p.21).
Motion
The housing strategy seeks to provide for the right quantity of appropriate housing in the right
locations that is accessible and affordable for all residents of the city. It recognises that housing
affordability is an essential element of any housing market and contains projections on house
price affordability 2016-2022
Policy QH13 seeks to ensure that all new housing is designed in a way that is adaptable and
flexible to changing needs.
Section 5.5.5 „Good Property Management‟ emphasizes that good property management
arrangements are needed to secure the satisfactory upkeep and maintenance of communal
areas and facilities.
Retain existing text QH16: „To promote efficient and effective property management in order to
secure the satisfactory upkeep and maintenance of communal areas and facilities in the context
of the Multi-Unit Developments Act 2011, the Property Services (Regulation) Act 2011 and the
establishment of the Property Services Regulatory Authority‟.
and QH13 which seeks "to ensure that all new housing is designed in a way that is adaptable and
flexible to changing needs."

Councillor(s) Cllr. Brendan Carr
Motion
Recognising that Irish Water has responsibility for drinking water and waste water services and
that Irish Water has produced various plans for the provision of such services nationally;
recognising further that Dublin City Council liaises with Irish Water and the other Dublin Local
Authorities to deliver these services; nevertheless, Dublin City Council should produce its own
short-term plan for the duration of the Dublin City Development Plan (2016-2022) in response to
its special pressures and expansionary needs of the City including population and industrial
growth in response to the serious deficiency in infrastructural capacity and in response to the
health concerns from contaminated water issuing in particular from ancient lead piping.
Reason: Dublin City Council has a population of over half a million. It is under pressure to
provide an adequate supply of treated water for its population and its industry at present which
inhibit the expansion of the population and of the City in the aftermath of the recent recession.
Motion
From January 2014 Irish Water assumed responsibility for all public water services, including the
supply of water, and collection, treatment and disposal of wastewater.
Dublin City Council will continue to work closely with and support Irish Water in the roll out of their
plans and project. In this regard policies SI1, SI2, SI3, and objectives, SIO1, SIO2 of the pre-draft
plan support and facilitate Irish Water and their plans and projects.
Irish Water‟s Capital Investment Plan 2014-2016 sets out their commitments and priorities for
investment in treatment capacity networks. The Project Need Report published by Irish Water in
March 2015, sets out the pressing need for a new water supply source for the Eastern and
Midlands Region of the country. There is a requirement to diversify water sources serving the
Dublin water supply area with 84% of water treatment capacity dependant on the River Liffey
alone. In section 9.3 of the pre-draft plan (see page 110) Dublin City Council sets out the main
challenges Dublin City faces in terms of providing infrastructure. Progressing the development of
the Greater Dublin Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, Marine Outfall and orbital sewer will be
essential to the future growth of Dublin Region and DCC will support Irish Water in this regard to
ensure its speedy rollout.
Dublin City Council retains responsibility for the storm water network, and is continually carrying
out works to improve this network. Recent improvements include delivery of separate surface
water infrastructure to serve the new Grangegorman campus, the implementation of the Fats,
Oils and Grease programme, which will reduce blockages in the sewers,the ongoing programme
of re-lining of public sewers to provide structural rehabilitation and extending the life of the pipes.
Other achievements include handing over of the new drainage infrastructure serving Ballymun
Regeneration area, and the new wastewater pumping station currently being commissioned in
North Docklands area to facilitate new development.
In relation to a short term plan to deal with infrastructural deficiencies and development
pressures, this matter would be outside the scope of the Development Plan.
Retain Section 9.5.1 Water Supply and Wastewater as is, including policies/objectives.

Councillor(s) People Before Profit Group
Motion
While recognising the importance of St Michaels regeneration that the renewal of Inchicore
Village not be subordinate to the plans but be given equal weight under any village improvement
plan for the area.
Reason:
Motion
The SDRA for St. Michael‟s Estate is included to help guide the development/ redevelopment of
the remaining parcels of land within St. Michael‟s Estate. The Plan includes the following guiding
principles which recognise the context of Inchicore Village:
The development will complement the regeneration of Inchicore by encouraging a natural
extension or the village centre eastwards along Emmet Road; the development will provide
strong connections between the site and the functions of the village centre, for which a Local
Environmental Improvements Plan is proposed.
The development of high –quality streetscape onto Emmet Road with accessible civic
spaces, active frontages and an appropriate transition in scale, height and character between
the village centre and the site will be promoted.
The Draft Development Plan contains a proposal for a Local Environmental Improvements Plan
for Inchicore Village (Section 2.2.8.1 page 20), which will complement the SDRA, through its
consultation and design stage.
Agree that the SDRA for St Michaels Estate should complement the LEIP for Inchicore Village.

Motion
That SDRA 13 be extended to include the Dolphin‟s Barn Cross roads.
Reason: To provide for the economic regeneration of the once vibrant village area Dolphins Barn
Motion
The area covered by the SDRA boundary for Dolphin House is the area under the control of
Dublin City Council and where redevelopment is anticipated over the life of the Development
Plan. Public investment in Dolphin House is likely to generate confidence in the area which will
hopefully result in an uplift within the wider area. The lands at Dolphin‟s Barn Cross Roads are
zoned for mixed use facilities in support of its role as a village centre.
It considered that the village of Dolphin‟s Barn in its entirety could benefit from enhancements to
the public domain and as such it is recommended that this village be added to the list of future
Local Environmental Improvement Plans.
Retain the existing SDRA boundary. Include Dolphin‟s Barn in the list of future LEIPs as set out in
Chapter 2 (page 20) and Objective SC05 (page 46).

Reason: To provide for the economic regeneration of the once vibrant village area Dolphins Barn
Motion
Both the Core Strategy (2.2.8.1, p19) and Objective SCO5 (p44) contain a list of 22 Local
Environmental Improvement Plans (LEIP's). This list was based on the Issues paper and the first
round of consultations. The current round of motions has resulted in an extra 9 LEIP's / Local
Plans being proposed.
The purpose of the LEIP approach is to enable Local Area Committees in conjunction with the
Area Manager, local communities, businesses and interests to draw up a resource co-ordinated,
implementable local environmental enhancement package for particular areas where a full-blown
statutory Local Area Plan is not necessary.
To date, two LEIP's have been prepared (Rathgar and Fairview). It will not be feasible to prepare
31 LEIP's / Local Plans in the lifetime of the Development Plan, nor is it realistic to prioritise the
proposed LEIP's at this stage. As such, it is recommended that all the now proposed LEIP's,
including those in the motions, are put in alphabetical order in the Development Plan, with a
report to be brought to the SPC and Area Committees to identify 2/3 LEIP's for prioritisation in
each area.

Ruairí McGinley
Motion
Site H3 Harold‟s Cross Stadium:
The Greyhound stadium in Harold‟s Cross is currently zoned Z9 Amenity/Open Space
Lands/Green Network the objective of which is to preserve provide and improve recreational
amenity and open space and green networks.
The site which covers about 5.86 acres is a pivotal site within Harold‟s cross and with potential to
provide linkage with the neighbouring neighbourhood of Rathmines.
The proposal in the schedule of proposed zoning changes is to change the zoning of the stadium
from Z9 to Z12 Institutional Land (Future Development Potential)
Amendment Proposed:
That the council resolves to retain the existing Z9 zoning for the Greyhound Stadium Site in the
interest of ensuring sustainable plan led development.
Reason: The rezoning to Z12 is premature given the lack of any wider planning framework for the
development of the urban village of Harold‟s Cross. Already the village of Harold‟s Cross is the
subject of a number of planning permissions for residential development and there are a number
of potential development sites which are likely to be the subject of further proposals for
development. In the light of such development pressures there is a need to put a plan in place for
Harold‟s Cross, which will provide an integrated context for the future development of the area.
While it is an objective of the current City Development Plan, to prepare such a plan for Harold‟s
Cross (SC09 Dublin City Development Plan 2011-2017, p 35) this has not as yet taken place.
Without such a planning framework (in the form of a Local Area Plan, or a Village Design
Statement), future development in the village is likely to be piecemeal and un-integrated, and the
opportunity for the development of a high quality sustainable neighbourhood, will be lost.
While Z12 zones have a requirement for the submission of a master plan in any application for
proposed development these are site specific. Such master plans lack the coherence of an area
based plan, acting as they do as overall site design frameworks. Site based master plans give
consideration to the coherence of the development of the site and its boundaries but do not
necessarily consider the operation of the site in the context of the wider area. Furthermore, such
master plans have no requirement for public input or consultation.
A broader area based plan (ideally a statutory Local Area Plan or a Village Design Statement)
would by contrast provide a coherent framework for considering this and all of the other
potential development sites in the broader context of the development of Harold‟s Cross as a
whole. An area based plan would create the potential for links and synergies across a number of
sites and would allow for community participation and engagement. A community visioning event
organised by Harold‟s Cross Village Community Council and the Harold‟s Cross Business
Association on July 6th in Harold‟s Cross National School saw over 80 community members,
business representatives and elected representatives discuss a future vision for Harold‟s Cross
and ideas put forward included the need for greater greening in Harold‟s Cross, an increase in
sports and community infrastructure, better car parking, cycling and pedestrian infrastructure all
of which could be explored within a local plan.
In this regard the Local Environmental Improvement Plans (LEIPs) mentioned in the draft plan in
Motion
19

chapter 4 would not offer the potential of a more comprehensive plan (such as a schematic
master plan, Village Improvement Plan or Village Design Statement as listed in the current
Development Plan). LEIPs are largely envisaged as focusing on public realm and public area
improvements rather than broader urban design and land use guidance and proposals.
In conclusion, the current Z9 zoning should remain in place in order to allow a broader Local Area
Plan or Village Plan to be prepared.
The site is not exclusively used as a Greyhound Stadium it also provides recreational amenity not
only for Harold's Cross but also the wider south city. It is also used as an active recreational
space for tag rugby and furthermore acts as a green lung in the centre of Harold's Cross. The
proposed rezoning would reduce the city's recreational amenity space and also the amenity and
environmental benefits to the wider community.
Although zoned Z9, the existing stadium is a large enclosed private facility for greyhound racing
events. The Irish Greyhound Board state there is not sufficient population to support two
greyhound stadiums in Dublin, and that the Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine have
advised IGB to consolidate on Shelbourne Park, just 2 miles away.
The proposed rezoning of this prime 2.4ha (5.9 acre) site to Z12 means the site can become
available for much needed housing, given the current supply crises in the city, whilst also
providing for 20% open space, instead of the nomal 10% standard for Z1 zones. It is estimated
that the site could provide approximately 150 residential units, and over 1 acre of open space.
There is no requirement to retain the site for Z9 purposes, given the amount of public open space
in the vicinity, including Harold‟s Cross Park opposite.
It is further considered that the proposed zoning is not premature; given it is government policy,
through the Housing Task Force, to expedite the supply of housing in the city. The preparation of
a Local Area Plan can take up to two years.
The Chief Executive is also of the view that an LAP is not necessary for the area given that:
Government advice is that LAP‟s are only needed in areas where large scale development
and regeneration are envisaged. In Dublin this means areas such as Clongriffin/Belmayne,
Ballymun and Cherry Orchard.
The Z12 Zoning provides for a master plan to be provided to demonstrate how the sites will
be developed in relation to its surroundings. The master plan will form part of the statutory
public consultation in relation to all planning applications.
The Development Plan pre – draft has identified Harold‟s Cross as an area suitable for a
Local Environmental Improvement Plan (page 20) to be prepared in conjunction with the Local
Area Committee and the community.
Retain proposed Z12 zoning objective (residential with 20% open space in accordance with a
Master Plan)

Motion
That this DCC Development Plan carry out a local area development plan alongside an
architectural conservational area plan for the entire Camden St/Wexford St/ Redmonds
Hill/Aungier St and Georges Street area and its environs. This area is fast becoming the number
1 district for culture and leisure, business and retail activity. Its growing enormously yet it is
peppered with dilapidated buildings and abandonment on the one hand and hostile traffic
movement on the other. This area is a vibrant mix of many communities and has a huge visitor
capacity. It has received very little attention over the past decade and is in great need of care
and nurture. A local area plan with an architectural conservation plan would breed the necessary
freshness and new life that this entire area needs.
Reason: The East side – Grafton St, Nassau Street, Merrion Square has received serious
attention and resources over the past number of years while on the other hand the Camden
Street area/Georges St area/Mercer St has received very little other than to be clogged up with
massive amounts of traffic. There is little by way of respite and there are very few open spaces.
It is completely disjointed and disconnected and besieged by public transport who now use this
area entirely as alternative routes during the Luas works. There are many significant buildings
and streets within this are and it now needs to be integrated and given the attention and
consideration it needs.
Motion
This is a very large section of the south inner city and some of the area is already designated or
proposed as an ACA. Georges Street is presently partially designated an ACA under the City
Markets ACA. The strategic approach as set out in section 11.1.4 outlines a strategic review of
the city conservation policy framework. This strategic review is predicated on the basis that
consecutive development plans have constructed this robust policy framework which serves the
historic built environment well.
The strategic review of the existing development plan conservation policy framework has
considerable resource implications for the Department and therefore the strategy sets out
undertaking the review in identified priority areas. The rationale for identification of these priority
areas is special historic and architectural interest and in this regard the areas identified, focus on
the historic core, starting at the historic medieval city, adjoining areas and then progressing to the
inner Georgian core. Aungier Street has been identified as one of the areas of special interest.
When these areas are complete or when resources permit, adjoining priority areas will be
identified and will be reviewed according, therefore on completion of the Aungier Street area the
adjoining Camden St/Wexford St/Remonds Hill area will be considered for review.
With regard to local area plans, the schedule of proposed statutory local area plans to deliver the
core strategy are set out in Table F (p.19, Para. 2.2.8.1 Area Specific Plans).
With regard to other non-statutory area plans (LEIPs, VIPs, etc.), at the Special Council Meeting
of 16th September 2015, errata regarding Objective SCO5 are to be set out.
The inclusion of a new entry to comprise the entire Camden St./Wexford St./Redmond's
Hill/Aungier St. and South Great Georges St. area and environs, by itself and in the context of all
other motions requesting further additions to the SCO5 list, or expansion of some specified
locations already on the list, would mean that the delivery of all such plans over the lifetime of the
development plan is unrealistic.
24

No change, as there is sufficient policy context in Plan in relation to this area, as set out above.
With regard to any non-statutory plan for this area, retain text as proposed for ratification at
Special Council Meeting for SCO5 (to be inserted under Para. 4.5.2.1), outlined as follows:

To add policy to the plan in section 2.2.8.1 that states “it will be policy when making planning
decision to treat Village Design Statements, Village Improvement Plans and the Local
Environment Improvement Plans on the same level as Local Area Plans despite their lack of
basis in national planning legislation, and they will not be contravened.
Reason: the Village Design Statement, the Village Improvement Plan and the Local Environment
Improvement Plan have no statutory basis and provide no protection and no real structure to

Section 2.2.8.1 (p19) sets out the following; "A number of local environmental
improvement plans, Village Improvement Plans, Village Design Statements, or other
plans will be prepared in conjunction with the relevant Area Committee and insofar as
priorities and resources permit .…." .
LAP's have proven to be resource intensive and can take up to 2 years to produce. They
remain a priority for areas of significant new development, or major urban regeneration is
needed. LEIP's are an alternative whereby local communities/businesses collaborate with the
Area Committee Area Manager to enhance the public realm and amenities of local
areas/villages.
Planning applications are assessed on the basis of the proper planning and sustainable
development of the area and the provisions of the Development Plan, and regard can be had

To add as an objective under 4.5.1.1, Approach to the Inner City, under 4.5.1.2 Approach to the
Docklands and the Port, and under 4.5.2.1Approach to the Inner Suburbs and Outer City
To, over the lifetime of this Development Plan, draw up and realise a a plan for all Dublin City
Council owned vacant land or sites so that they contribute to and enhance the local area as
appropriate
Reason: to tangibly enhance the shape and structure of our city and reduce the number of vacant
sites across the city
Motion
The preparation of any plans to develop or re-develop lands, whether in the inner city, the
docklands and port area, inner suburbs or outer city, should be based on the principles of proper
planning and sustainable development.
The preparation of a range of a plan for various lands or sites through the city, solely on the basis
of land ownership, would be at variance with this integrated approach. As such, the potential for
the wider context of such sites to be taken account of would not be fully realised, and such plan-
making would be severely limited in scope.
Furthermore, the importance of area-specific plans, which would include council owned lands, is
set out at Para.2.2.8.1 (Area-Specific Plans) of the draft plan, an extract of which is outlined as
follows:
"2.2.8.1 Area-Specific Plans
Dublin City Council will prepare area-specific guidance for the Strategic Development &
Regeneration Areas (SDRAs) and key district centres, using the appropriate mechanisms of
local area plans and schematic masterplans and Local Environmental Improvement Plans
(LEIPs). Local area plans will be prepared for areas subject to large-scale development
within the lifetime of this plan. A schedule of statutory local area plans is set out below,
having regard to the core strategy, and in particular the need to promote the inner city and
the SDRAs, all of which lie within the metropolitan area (see Table F). The rationale for
selection of these plan areas also has regard to the national guidance that LAPs are
particularly suited to areas undergoing significant development (DoEHLG guidelines on
Sustainable Residential Development, 2007).
