Kilcoole Local Area Plan 2008

impact on the application of childcare policy. If a developer proposes a larger scale
development of say 500 units, 1-2 larger crèches will still be considered as compliant
with the childcare policies. The only difference is than the 500 units most be broken
up into a number of district estates.
In light of this submission and an earlier submission, it is recommended that the
wording of this policy be slightly altered to make it clearer.
<strong>Managers</strong> Recommendation
Make the following amendment to the LAP:-
Part B, Section 4: Residential development – “policies / objectives”
Amend 6 th bullet point as follows:-
From:-
• The maximum size for any single development is 100 houses / 200 apartments
and any development larger than this shall be developed as a number of
separate ‘estates’ with materially different house types, sizes and appearance
To: -
• The maximum size for any single residential estate is 100 houses / 200
apartments. Within each estate, a range of unit types / sizes shall be provided,
within an overall unified design concept. Estates shall be differentiated from
each other by the use of materially different design themes and name.

It is put forward that an inconsistent approach has been taken in the draft plan to
Action Areas, in relation to zoning and specific objectives. For example, although
land uses in AA1 are delineated on the draft map and include CE and AOS uses, the
draft map does not used the same formula in AA3 where CE uses are set out as being
required in the text (new library) or in AA2 here residential and open spaces are
required in the text but the location of each is not shown on the map.
The submission expresses objection to the demarcation of specific zones to specific
land parcels/landowners within the action area and puts forward that this provides
unfair advantage to some of the landowners.
(i)
It is requested that the same approach used in the Greystones - Delgany
LAP is applied whereby uses are not delineated on the plan map as this
will ensure deliverability and will allow landowners to reach equitable
agreements
Manager’s Response
As set out in response to Submission 13 above:-
1. The draft plan that “The position, location and size of the land use zonings shown
on Map 1 within each Action Area are indicative only and may be altered in light of
eventual road and service layouts, detailed design and topography, subject to
compliance with the criteria set out for each Action Area below”. It is therefore
considered that adequate flexibility is already built in to each action area. It is not
considered that unfair advantage accrues to those whose land has been marked for
development in the plan. The ‘development’ zonings cannot be developed without the
co-operation of those with OS / AOS / CE zonings and therefore an integrated and
inclusive solution must be worked out by the landowner group.
2. (i) In relation to the requirement for the provision of a library within AA3, it is
clearly indicated in the draft plan that this usage must be incorporated into the new
