Managers Report on submissions to the Draft Kilcoole ... - Wicklow.ie

Kilcoole Local Area Plan 2008
Manager’s <strong>Report</strong>
commercial and civic buildings in the TC zone.
(ii) In relation to AA2, this entire action area is proposed for OS zoning and has not
specified a location for the limited housing allowed on the map, as the final location
of housing will have to be determined following archaeological assessment of the
entire action area. However, in light of this submission (and submission No. 13
above) the map shall be amended to include an indicative location for the housing in
AA2
3. With regard to the Greystones - Delgany LAP
- Z1 related to the harbour, which comprised one landowner (action plan agreed)
- Z2 related to the land around St. Lawrence’s school. This included three
landowners and no agreement has been reached to date
- Z3 related to the County Council offices site, again one landowner
- Z4 related to St. David’s School, again one landowner
- Z5 related to Blacklion lands, again one landowner. This action area has been
agreed.
This evidence would appear to suggest that the Greystones – Delgany LAP
approach to action areas is either more equitable or efficient than that applied in this
draft plan.
<strong>Managers</strong> Recommendation
Amend Map 1 to show 0.5ha R1 zone in AA2
Submission no. 24 (mapped)
Ms. Hunt, Colette
This submission is in relation to the Holy Faith Convent
1. It is requested that the appraisal of the Convent as set out in the draft LAP includes
an appraisal of the setting as set out in the NIAH.
2. The plan map should be updated to include the location of the walled garden (the
school backs up to a walled garden).
3. Any rezonings in the area of the Convent must take account of the setting as a
whole. Lands to the west of the Convent are unsuitable for “CE” zoning as
development would affected the views of the Downs Hill, the Glen of the Downs and
Sugarloaf Mountain and instead the whole Convent site should be zoned “OS”
including the walled garden.
4. The western link road should be constructed outside convent land boundaries.
5. The mass path must also be protected which partly runs along the Convent lands.
6. The Convent currently operates a spirituality centre, which would be negatively
impacted by the proposed “CE” zoning and new school.
Manager’s Response
1. This submission has been noted; however, changes to the existing Protected
Structure listing and description cannot be altered within the remit of the
Kilcoole LAP and can only be amended within the County Development Plan
2004-2010 review..
2. The walled garden is evident on the map
3. In light of Submission No.’s 12 & 35, it is proposed to amend the proposed
zoning at this location and to omit the CE expansion area to the rear of the
Convent (see Submission No.’s 12 & 35)
4. Noted. The route of this road, as shown on the draft map is indicative only.
The final design of this route will be determined through the normal process,
which will include public participation and this is the more appropriate forum
