Article 81 of Part 8 of the Planning and Development Regulations
2001 (as amended) and circulated internally within the various
departments of WCCC including Planning, Architects, Conservation,
Heritage, Water Services, Roads and Environment.
Prior to the publication of the notice, public consultation
involved:
Briefing the Elected Members of Waterford City and County
Council;
Meetings with stakeholders, including:
· Irish Rail
· NTA
· Bus Eireann
· The prospective North Quays SDZ development company
Subsequent to the publication of the notice, the Elected Members
for Ferrybank were briefed on the contents of the Part VIII
proposals at the joint meeting of the Piltown and Waterford
Metropolitan Municipal Districts on 5th December 2018.
Summary of the Proposed Development
The nature and extent of the proposed works, as described in the
notice is as follows:
Waterford City and County Council advertised the Part VIII
planning application for
“Remedial works consisting of a combination of rock face
stabilisation and railway protection works in the form of rock fall
protection systems and drainage measures to approximately 400
metres of rock face located immediately to the north of Plunkett
Railway Station in the townland of Ferrybank, Waterford. A
protected Irish Rail signal box (Recorded Protected Structure, RPS
571) may require to be taken down and stored off site in the
interest of avoiding accidental damage, such determination, if
required will be made prior to the commencement of the
stabilisation works.”
The proposed development will be carried out in the townland of
Ferrybank, Waterford.
Refer to Appendix A of this Report which includes a plan of the
proposed development and appropriate map of the area.
Planning Policy
The need for the proposed development stems from a principal
goal of the North Quays Strategic Development Zone (NQ SDZ)
Planning Scheme (adopted in February 2018) “to provide for a
sustainable transport hub on the North Quays.” In order to
facilitate this, passenger trains on the Dublin to Waterford
Railway Line will be required to continue past Plunkett Station
along the existing Waterford to Rosslare railway corridor to a
proposed new Transport Hub adjacent to the SDZ site. In order to
secure the safety of this railway line, an approximately 400m long
rock cutting located immediately adjacent to the line in the
vicinity of the existing Plunkett Station will require remedial
works.
Historically, a number of landslides have occurred along the
extents of this rock face. Iarnród Éireann track inspection records
provide evidence of this with rockfall of varying size being
recorded in the 1950’s, 1977, 1983 and 2013.
In order to reduce the risk of global slope instability and of
rockfalls which could affect railway infrastructure and public
safety including Irish rail staff, remedial works in the form of
rock bolting, netting & drainage measures (stabilisation) and
rock fall barriers and embankments (protection) are proposed.
A review of other national, regional and local planning policy
documents has been undertaken. The key policy documents relating to
the proposed development are discussed below.
Project Ireland 2040: National Planning Framework and National
development Plan 2018-2027
As part of Project Ireland 2040, the Government announced the
establishment of a new Urban Regeneration and Development Fund
(URDF). The Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government
(DHPLG) has responsibility for implementing the URDF, which has an
allocation of €2 billion in the National Development Plan (NDP) to
2027, primarily to support the compact growth and sustainable
development of Ireland’s five cities and other large urban
centres.
In line with the objectives of the National Planning Framework
(NPF), the Fund is designed to leverage a greater proportion of
residential and commercial development, supported by
infrastructure, services and amenities, within the existing built
‘footprint’ of our larger settlements. The proposed development
supports national policy and the NPF objectives.
Regional Planning Guidelines for the South East Region
2010-2022
The Regional Planning Guidelines support the re-development of
the North Quays. It was included as a Critical Enabling Investment
Priority in the RPGs in 2004. Through the
“Expansion of the commercial and civic centre of Waterford City
through the redevelopment of the North Quays.” These proposed works
will facilitate the relocation of the train station which is an
integral part of the North Quays SDZ Planning Scheme.
The NPF and NDP and the associated legislative framework will
guide the Regional Assemblies’ delivery of statutory Regional
Spatial and Economic Strategic (RSESs) which will supersede the
current RPGs and which have recently been published in draft form
as outlined below.
Draft Regional Spatial & Economic Strategy for the Southern
Region (2018)
As part of the Draft Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy for
the Southern Region the Waterford Metropolitan Area Strategic Plan
(MASP) Policy Objective 6 on Sustainable Transportation includes
the following text and objective with regard to the relocation of
the Plunkett train station from its current location to a more
central location in the North Quays SDZ site with more direct
access to city centre on the south shore:
a. “It is an objective to prepare a Waterford Metropolitan Area
Strategic Transport Strategy during the lifetime of this MASP with
all relevant stakeholders and it is an objective to ensure
investment and implementation of the Waterford Metropolitan Area
Strategic Transport Strategy.
b. Local Authorities and public bodies including state transport
agencies shall prioritise investment in the following road and rail
infrastructure in the Metropolitan Area in support of Modal Shift
from the private car to sustainable transport subject to the
outcome of environmental assessments and the planning process,
including measures to address environmental issues associated with
brownfield development:
· Relocation of the Railway Station to the North Quays…”
The Draft RSES also refers to Transforming Waterford –
Integrated Transport Proposal which includes the Integrated
Transport Hub as a key requirement for the delivery of the SDZ and
the transformation of Waterford City (described below). The rock
stabilisation and railway protection works are key to enabling this
transport hub to be developed.
Waterford City Development Plan 2013-2019
Waterford City Development Plan 2013-2019 supports the
development of the North Quays SDZ and is a zoned ‘opportunity
site’.
A range of objectives support the proposed development, these
include:
Support for the PLUTS is included in the City Development Plan
and states “Provision of a rail-passenger platform on the North
Quays as part of a new Public Transport Interchange”;
To “ensure mixed-use and well-designed higher density
development, particularly near town centres and public transport
nodes like railway stations.”
“To expand the network to connect the city centre to any
proposed North Quay development with a foot/cycle bridge. (OBJ
6.2.2)”
“To provide cycle and walking networks between neighbourhood
areas, further negating the need for car based journeys. (OBJ
6.2.4)” (P.87)
“Surface water runoff from all new hard-surfaced infrastructure
draining directly into the River Suir and John’s River shall be
considered for appropriate hydrocarbon interception where the risk
of hydrocarbon pollution is deemed significant, and the feasibility
of retrofitting such interception to existing infrastructure, where
such a significant risk is identified, will be examined. (OBJ
6.2.19)”.
To protect and enhance the vibrancy and vitality of Waterford
City Centre. (OBJ 2.1.7)
Transforming Waterford: Integrated Transport Proposal
Waterford Planning, Land Use and Transportation Study (PLUTS)
was adopted by Waterford City and County Council in 2004 to provide
a vision and strategy for the development of Waterford City and
Environs up to the year 2020. A key element of the strategy is to
allow the City to reinforce and develop its role as the economic
driver of the South-East region of Ireland. It states that one core
provision of PLUTS is the:
“provision of a rail-passenger platform on the North Quays as
part of a new Public Transport Interchange.”
3(f): Integrated Transport Hub – Redefining Urban Transport
Model Integration describes how the existing transport integration
in Waterford City is:
“exceptionally poor and is significantly damaging efforts for
modal change. The existing Railway Station is at the heart of this
problem with its location at Rice Bridge and restricted/nearly
unsafe access denying integration with other modes of transport and
compromising the commerciality of inter-city train services.
This is further compounded by the station being restricted to
one platform and passenger trains not being allowed access beyond a
certain point due to an unstable rock face. No capacity to improve
the situation is available at the current location due to the
restrictions in width imposed by the station residing between the
River Suir and the imposing cliff face to the North.
Redevelopment of the North Quays provides an opportunity to
dramatically alter circumstances and to provide a unique transport
interchange facility incorporating a fully enclosed facility for
walkers, cyclists and train, bus and car users. The combination of
pedestrian bridge, green route, train and bus services will be
unique in Irish circumstances and as near optimal as can be
achieved anywhere in this country given the nature of our city
centres.”
The redevelopment of the North Quays and the relocation of
Plunkett Railway Station provides an opportunity provide an
integrated transport hub which is accessible for walkers, cyclists
and train, bus and car users.
North Quays Strategic Development Zone Planning Scheme
(2018)
The North Quays Strategic Development Zone (SDZ) Planning Scheme
was adopted by Waterford City and County Council in February 2018.
The Planning Scheme sets out a vision to:
To create a sustainable, compact extension to the City Centre
that will serve a future population of 83,000 people.
A regeneration catalyst for the City and Region and the
establishment of a sustainable modern city quarter.
Creation of an integrated multi-modal transport hub designed to
sustainably meet the access requirements of the City.
Building on the context and the riverside location of the site
to create a high-quality urban quarter as a natural extension of
the City Centre.
The Planning Scheme vision is supported by a range of principal
goals. The following are the Goals relevant to the Proposed
Development:
To provide a sustainable transport hub on the North Quays.
To provide for sustainable patterns of movement and access with
priority for pedestrians, cyclists and public transport.
The Vision and Goals are supported by several ‘Specific
Objectives’ relating to: Physical and Social Infrastructure.
Planning Strategy, Architectural Strategy and Actions and
Implementation objectives. The Planning Scheme details the Access
Strategy that is required as part of the development of the North
Quays SDZ in order to improve access and connectivity to the site.
The proposed development is consistent with the Vision, Goals and
objectives of the Planning Scheme and the access strategy.
Chapter 1.9 of the North Quays Strategic Development Zone
Planning Scheme (2018) states how one of the visions for the North
Quays Strategic Development Zone Planning Scheme is the creation of
an integrated multi-modal transport hub designed to sustainably
meet the access requirements of The City. It states that:
“Specifically, it is proposed to relocate the train station to
the North Quays close to the new sustainable transport bridge
creating a new integrated transport hub.”
Chapter 3a.6 states that:
“The development of the North Quays area presents an
opportunity, long acknowledged as being necessary, for the City to
relocate the train station from its present isolated location to
the west of Rice Bridge into the City Centre. “
“The Planning Scheme envisages the realisation of this
opportunity and takes the opportunity to further develop the
principles of the PLUTS strategy by ensuring that the design of the
North Quays and surrounding roads encompasses a transport hub where
pedestrian cycling, car, rail and bus users can interchange in a
comfortable environment.”
The Waterford Planning, Land Use and Transportation Study 2004
(PLUTS)
The Waterford Planning, Land Use and Transportation Study 2004
(PLUTS) recognises the potential of the North Quays as an extension
of the city centre and prioritises a new city centre pedestrian
bridge and a new public transport interchange at the North Quays.
Key recommendations of the PLUTS include:
A new City Centre bridge for pedestrians and cyclists which will
link the redeveloped North Quays with the existing City Centre;
Provision of a rail-passenger platform on the North Quays as
part of a new Public Transport Interchange.
A future 3rd bridge crossing downstream on the Suir which would
complete the loop around the system connecting the N25 Bypass, the
River Suir Bridge and the Outer Ring Road.
Waterford City Centre Urban Renewal Scheme (2015)
The Urban Renewal Scheme outlines public realm upgrades,
alterations to traffic circulation and urban realm improvements.
Its vision includes maximising the potential of the City Centre to
continue to grow as a national and regional destination. The North
Quays is located in a brownfield site located in the city centre.
The regeneration of the SDZ has the opportunity to compliment and
facilitate the urban renewal of this area and Waterford city
through integrated transportation proposals including proposals for
a new transportation hub.
Evaluation of the Planning Policy
Having regard to the provisions of national, regional and the
current Waterford City Development Plan and the North Quays SDZ
Planning Scheme as described above, this evaluation has found that
the proposed development supports and is consistent with the proper
planning and sustainable development of the area to which the
proposed development relates, for the following reasons:
1. A principal goal of the North Quays (SDZ) Planning Scheme
adopted in February 2018 is “to provide for a sustainable transport
hub on the North Quays.” In order to facilitate this, passenger
trains on the Dublin to Waterford Railway Line will be required to
continue past Plunkett Station along the existing Waterford to
Rosslare railway corridor to a proposed new Transport Hub adjacent
to the SDZ site. In order to secure the safety of this railway
line, an approximately 400m long rock cutting located immediately
adjacent to the line in the vicinity of the existing Plunkett
Station will require remedial works.
2. The proposed development broadly supports the policies and
objectives of the Waterford City Development Plan 2013 – 2019 and
in particular will support the relocation of Plunkett Railway
Station to the North Quays SDZ Transport Hub and enhance the
vibrancy and vitality of the City Centre which is a key objective
of the Development Plan
3. The proposed development aligns with the vision, aims and
objectives, and the access strategy contained within the North
Quays SDZ Planning Scheme (2018).
4. The proposed development also aligns with the NPF and the
draft RSES in that its objective is to enable Waterford to become a
Regional City of scale leading the economic recovery of the South
East and expanding and enhancing the local economy to realise the
potential of the City and the region as a whole. The regeneration
of the North Quays SDZ and the relocation of the Plunkett Station
to a more central location providing more direct connectivity to
the City Centre and the southern shore is identified as a key
growth enabler for Waterford.
Environmental Impact Assessment Screening Determination
Waterford City and County Council has carried out an
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Screening Report in
accordance with requirements of Section 120(1B)(b)(i) and has
determined that there is no real likelihood of significant effects
on the environment. Accordingly, it has determined that EIA is not
required in respect of this proposed development. The EIA report
and recommendation of the screening were made available with the
Part VIII planning application for the duration of the consultation
period.

The proposed development may require the dismantling and off
-site storage of a signal box which is included on the Record of
Protected Structures in the Waterford City Development Plan
2013-2019 [RPS 571] and which was recorded by the National
Inventory of Architectural Heritage [NIAH 22500027] with a Regional
Rating Value.
In the event that the signal box is to be dismantled and stored
off site to facilitate the proposed development the Department
makes the following recommendations:
· A full survey is made of the protected structure, including
measured elevations and plans and a photographic record annotated
and cross-referenced with the elevations and plans, in order to
facilitate a faithful reconstruction of the protected structure on
completion of the proposed development.
· Every care should be taken during the dismantling, off-site
storage, and reconstruction of the protected structure to ensure
that the protected structure and its features of special interest
are protected from damage as per Architectural Heritage Protection
– Guidelines for Planning Authorities (2011).
· The applicant shall engage appropriately qualified and
competent professionals, as necessary, to specify the works and
oversee their correct completion on site.
· The works shall be undertaken by skilled and experienced
contractors and specialists with relevant experience of traditional
materials and techniques.
Archaeological:
Having considered the submitted information, and further
information as submitted on 21st December 2018 that included an
Archaeological Impact Assessment for remedial works to the Rock
face at Mount Misery, the National Monuments Service agrees in
principle with the proposed mitigation for archaeological
monitoring, with the following additional requirements:
· It is advised that the vegetation clearance on the top of the
rock, that needs to be done as part of the works, is undertaken
well in advance and under close archaeological
supervision/monitoring. No clearance or other works shall take
place on the top of the rock without the presence on site of the
monitoring archaeologist.
· Once the recorded archaeological monuments have been located,
a dedicated/specific report shall be submitted to the National
Monuments Service as Further Information with details of proximity
of proposed works to the archaeological monuments and an updated
archaeological mitigation strategy shall be proposed as part of the
Impact Statement in the report. The National Monuments Service
shall then make further comment in this regard.
· The above requirement for clearance well in advance is to
ensure that no delays will occur to the proposed works from an
archaeological perspective, as it will allow time to mitigate any
archaeological requirements that may arise.
Archaeological Monitoring:
· All works are subject to close archaeological
supervision/monitoring. No further clearance or other works shall
take place in relation to this application without the presence on
site of the monitoring archaeologist.
· All works within the zone of protection for the recorded
archaeological monuments shall be subject to full and close
archaeological monitoring. Should evidence of the standing stones
be identified, further archaeological mitigation by way of testing
may be required. The monitoring archaeologist shall consult with
the Department in this regard.
· The applicant shall engage the services of a suitably
qualified and suitably experienced archaeologist to carry out the
monitoring.
· The monitoring shall be licensed by the Department and a
detailed method statement shall accompany the licence
application.
· A detection device licence shall also be taken out by the
archaeological to cover all metal detection of soil removed within
the zone of protection for the recorded monument as part of the
proposed drainage works.
Contents of the submission are noted. WCCC commits to including
all additional built heritage mitigation measures as listed in the
submission at construction stage.
WCCC provided the DAU with a report ‘Remedial Works to the Rock
Face at Mount Misery, Waterford’s North Quays on behalf of
Waterford City and County Council’s Economic Development Division’
completed in December 2018 that addresses many of the archaeology
issues raised and includes recommendations that WCCC will bring
forward as part of the proposed development.
Recommendation: WCCC commits to including all additional
archaeological mitigation measures as listed in the submission at
construction stage.
