PAGE 48 Typical Low Density Housing OLDTOWN - MOORETOWN Local Area Plan Archaeological assessment indicates that the lands east of the stream are available for development, while those lands west of the stream are to be incorporated as part of the Archaeological Buffer Zone. The land to the east of the stream may however have residual archaeological potential, which shall be considered as part of any development in this area. Oldtown: Low Density Lands West of School This area adjoins the Rathbeale Road and is influenced by its proximity to the school and Rathbeale Archaeological Park. Development in this area shall take cognisance of existing development and will contribute to the range of lower density housing options in this area. Existing trees/hedgerows adjoining the Rathbeale Road shall be maintainted. Mooretown Medium Density Area This area covers the central and southern portion of the Mooretown lands. The perimeter of the lands to the east and south are largely edged by long rows of back gardens. The main priority is to secure these boundaries with back-to-back housing and protect residential amenity of existing dwellings. A key element of the southeast neighbourhood will be Glasmore Green Archaeological Park. This park will be a key point along the route from Lioscian, the neighbouring estate, to the Rathbeale Archaeological Park and amenities in this area. This park is also linked to the site of the holy well to the south. These archaeological sites shall form part of an open space strategy and will be developed in accordance with the parameters set down in the Archaeological Conservation and Management Plan undertaken for these sites. The detailed design of this archaeological landscape will be addressed within Urban Design/Landscape Masterplan(s) for the lands. Strategic landscaping shall be developed along the western boundary of the lands to soften the transition between the urban and rural areas. Mooretown: Rathbeale Road Low Density Character Area This area adjoins the Rathbeale Road and is influenced by its proximity to the Rathbeale Archaeological Park. This will be a quiet residential neighbourhood, with little traffic but with very good linkages to the neighbourhood hub and the schools. The area will take cognisance of its immediate historical context, particularly its relationship to Rathbeale Archaeological Park and Water Mill Park, both of which will be designed and developed in accordance with the Archaeological Conservation and Management Plan and proposed Masterplan(s). Trees/hedgerows along the Rathbeale Road shall be maintained and strengthened where feasible. 3.3.2 Heights The height of dwellings across the lower and medium density lands shall be mainly 2 storey. Punctuation buildings at key nodal points will be accommodated to provide identifiable visual landmarks within the LAP lands. The specific location of key punctuation buildings with a height of up to 3.5 storeys will be considered at Masterplan stage. Planning Department
OLDTOWN - MOORETOWN Local Area Plan EXISTING HOUSING ON ADJACENT SITE SITE BOUNDARY Planning Department PAGE 49 At the western boundary with the Swords Regional Park, 2-3 storey residential units shall be developed fronting onto the park, with appropriate level of landscaping to soften this urban edge. At the eastern boundary with existing 2 storey residential development, max 2 storey back-to-back residential units shall be developed, with appropriate separation distances and consideration of overlooking and overshadowing. RESIDENTIAL STREET FOOT- FOOT- PRIVATE GARDEN PRIVATE GARDEN PROPOSED HOUSES PATH PARKING STREET PATH HOUSES OR DUPLEXS PRIVATE COMMON GARDEN Typical cross-section through new housing on site boundary where adjoining residential Higher density development adjoining the northern boundary of Oldtown, where higher density will be located, shall overlook the extended Broadmeadow Linear Park and shall be no higher than 3 storey with penthouse set back. The exact location of such punctuation building(s), which shall be restricted in height to 4 storey with penthouse setback, will be examined in more detail at Masterplan stage. Punctuation building(s) will be provided as the exception and not the rule. Punctuation building(s) will be allowed only where it can be demonstrated that they are necessary as a visual landmark in the area and will only be encouraged at significant junctions/corner sites/gateways/nodal points to the development. Development at the Local Centres shall be mainly 3 storeys in height, with potential for key punctuation buildings of maximum 4 storeys along the Main Street and at key junctions with the Local Centres and adjoining streets. The specific location of key punctuation buildings, shall be identified at Masterplan(s) stage. 3.3.3 Housing Mix In accordance with the document ‘Guidelines for Planning Authorities on Sustainable Residential Development in Urban Areas’ (May 2009), the LAP lands are considered to be outer suburban/greenfield in nature, where greatest efficiency in land use will be achieved by providing net residential densities in the range of 35-50 dwellings per hectare, involving a variety of house types. It is an objective of this LAP to provide for a mix of residential units – in terms of density provisions, tenure mix, unit size and design, to support the development of a balanced community. The total number of residential units across the lands will be approximately 3,400 units, which could result in a population of approximately 10,000. In general, a higher density within the upper end of the 35-50 dwellings range will be supported in 3 different areas: within the two Local Centres and associated main streets, and also adjoining the Broadmeadow Linear Park. Lower density will be accommodated in areas adjoining the Rathbeale Road where
