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 34
Kilcoole Local Area Plan 2008 Manager’s <strong>Report</strong> to express views on the routes of new roads. 5. Noted 6. Noted <strong>Managers</strong> Recommendation Make the following amendments to the LAP:- 1. Omit proposed CE zoning (c. 2ha) to the rear of the Holy Faith convent and revert this land to AG zoning 2. Change text of Part B: Section 7 – Education: policies & objectives From Policies/Objectives • Two 1.2ha sites (suitable for 16-classroom schools) shall be reserved for primary school development – one to the north-west of the existing girls’ school and one in Action Area 1 • Land of c. 1.6ha shall be reserved adjacent to Colaiste Chraobh Abhann for future school expansion. In the event that it is determined that this land is not needed for this school, this site shall be reserved as an alternative primary school location (suitable for 16-classroom school) To Policies/Objectives • One new 1.2ha site (suitable for 16-classroom school) shall be reserved for primary school development, located in Action Area 1 • Land of c. 1.6ha shall be reserved adjacent to Colaiste Chraobh Abhann for future school expansion. In the event that it is determined that this land is not needed for this school, this site shall be reserved as an alternative primary school location (suitable for 16-classroom school) Submission no. 25 Mr. Keddy, Charlie 1. It is requested that the proposed draft plan not be adopted because Kilcoole is already overdeveloped . 2. It is put forward that the plan does not accord with the Strategic Planning Guidelines, which specify that only “local need” is accommodated in the village. 3. The County Development Plan 1999 stated the land on the sea side of Main Street (R761) from Ballynerrin to the north and the railway station at Wicklow to the south must be protected. Manager’s Response 1. It is noted that Kilcoole has undergone expansion in the last 12 years; however, the scale of expansion has been in accordance with the desired growth levels adopted by the elected Council members in the County Development Plans of 1999 and 2004. It is not considered that the town is overdeveloped at present and it is considered that it has scope for expansion, given the availability of services (infrastructural and community), considerable employment opportunities and its good transport connections to the DART at Greystones and to the Dublin City by bus and rail. 2. Kilcoole is designated a ‘Small Growth Town I’ in the County Development Plan 2004 which is in accordance with the Regional Planning Guidelines. In such towns, there is a ‘local growth’ restriction applied in order to ensure that at least 50% of those purchasing new homes in the town have an established connection to the 35
