MetroNorth 2.4 THE BENEFITS National An additional runway together with associated terminal facilities will increase trip generation to significantly above current levels. MetroNorth will support the required expansion of the airport which will be the most significant source of increased travel demand in the Airport environs. It is essential that future development at Dublin Airport is prioritised when considering transport infrastructure. Regional The introduction of MetroNorth has the potential to address housing needs by offering genuine choice, an opportunity to those who want to be part of this thriving city and region. This potential is available along all the route of MetroNorth. The potential of brownfield city sites such as that at the Mater metro stop and the former printworks at Botanic Avenue add to the potential of the renewed Ballymun town. For sites in the Fingal area, the County Development Plan sets aside the area between the airport and the M50 for a special Local Area Plan once a Metro route is determined. In Swords there exists the opportunity to develop a location in the area that will provide real benefits for the region. Planning for this town, identified as a ‘consolidation’ town in the Regional Planning Guidelines, developed significantly when in the 1999 County Development Plan an outer boundary was set for its growth. The town has played a significant part in contributing to the housing demand. Thriving new suburbs and sub-centres have been created and there is a young population. Into the future however planning will be increasingly circumscribed by our inability to consolidate to the optimum extent to grow an efficient town, in land-use terms, due to lack of rapid public transport links to remove road-based travel as the sole option. This is even more the case for the surrounding smaller towns and villages. Planning for MetroNorth provides a singular opportunity to grow a sustainable community. Such concentrated ‘smart growth’ in turn allows pressures on those surrounding communities to ease, enabling the north 28
