As agreed by
• Donabate Parish Council,
• Campaign against Developers Dumping on Donabate CADDD,
• Various Residents Associations
• Chamber of Commerce
Motion
The Donabate Local Area Plan to be amended with the following provisions.
Provision 1
That the social and affordable housing element in new residential housing in Donabate be restricted to 15pc of the units being built, and the distribution and breakdown between social and affordable housing be consistent with current best practice in Fingal.
Provision 2
That the existing town centre of Donabate be enhanced in accordance with the provisions of the Donabate Local Area Plan and the county manager must ensure that any other commercial centre to be developed within the Local Area Plan lands does not compromise the viability of the existing town centre.
Provision 3
That provision is made in the Local Area Plan for the reservation of any additional lands for an integrated transport hub for Donabate and Portrane. Any such reservation should accommodate rail and bus service needs, and car and bicycle parking.
Provision 4
That as part of a comprehensive programme to upgrade vehicular road traffic movements in and out of the Donabate/Portrane peninsula, that the manager submit to the council his proposals and time scales to improve existing county road connections to the proposed connector road. These improvements must make adequate provision for connections from the distributor road eastwards with Portrane and westwards with the national road network and the M1 motorway at Lissenhall junction.
Provision 5
That as part of a proposed programme to have phased provision of infrastructure in advance of housing construction, that the county manager submits his proposals to the council, and reports regularly on progress, in phasing and targets for the provision of necessary infrastructure, in addition to the targets already provided for in the Local Area Plan for Donabate. Such proposals and regular reports must specify the distributor road, foul and
storm water drainage, water and electricity provision, Class 1 open spaces, and other essential community facilities, specifically primary and secondary schools, Garda, fire and medical services, civic facilities, public library, adequate retail facilities, youth facilities, after school care, crèche facilities and enhanced transport links.
Provision 6
That the detailed planning for the new residential developments must make provision for a high degree of permeability, specifically cycling, pedestrian and vehicular permeability both within and between those areas and connecting to the existing town centre. To enhance the degree of permeability, provision should be made for footpaths, cycle ways and walkways and the council must facilitate in particular access to the train station, Newbridge Demesne,
the beaches and the major open spaces at Rogerstown and Broadmeadow estuaries. Permeability must be of the highest design standards and address crime prevention concerns of the local community.
Provision 7
The phasing of residential developments in the Donabate area must be constrained to a maximum of 150 units constructed a year until 2010, and the County Manager must outline to the council his proposals for phasing thereafter having regards to infrastructure provision and sustainability.
Provision 8
That the overall number of units to be constructed must be consistent with the National Spatial Strategy and with the Regional Planning Guidelines for the Greater Dublin Area 2004- 2016, which identifies Donabate as a moderate growth town.
Provision 9
That, in recognition of community concerns for the low lying lands and the areas of ecological sensitivity (Figure 5, Area 3 of the Strategic Environmental Assessment) in the LAP Section west of the railway line and south of the Hearse road, a detailed environmental impact study be prepared and presented to the Council for consideration re:
a) The alternative routes of the new distributor road;
b) The design and construction of the new distributor road;
c) Potential residential and or commercial development in the Section; and
d) The potential designation of open space, greenways or protected lands in the
Section.
