SC15 To protect and enhance the intrinsic quality of Dublin as a predominantly low- to medium rise City, and to provide for taller buildings in the designated limited locations (see figure 21).

SC16 To protect and enhance the skyline of the inner city, and to ensure that all proposals for mid-rise and taller buildings are limited to areas that are predominantly non-residential in character and make a positive contribution to the urban character of the City, having regard to the criteria and site principles set out in the development standards section. In particular all new proposals must demonstrate sensitivity to the

Councillor Damien O’FarrellThis Council resolves to re-instate Par. 15.10.4. of the Dublin City Development Plan 2005-2011 in its entirety into the Proposed Draft Development Plan 2011 - 2017:

"Development in Conservation Areas:

All new buildings should complement and enhance the character and setting of conservation areas. In considering proposals for development in conservation areas, it is policy to have particular regard to:

• The effect of the proposed development on buildings and the surrounding environment, both natural and man-made

• The impact of development on the immediate streetscape in terms of compatibility of design, scale, height, plot width, roof treatment, materials, landscaping, mix and intensity of use proposed.

Development within conservation areas should be so designed so as not to constitute a ' visually obtrusive or dominant form of development. New alterations and extensions should complement existing buildings/structures in terms of design, external finishes, colour, texture, windows/doors/roof/chimney/design and other details.

The Planning Authority discourages the use of uPVC or aluminium in windows, fascias and doors in historic buildings that are not protected. Proposals for the application of cement render to the external fabric of older buildings will not be encourages in conservation areas. In assessing development proposals, the Planning Authority will seek the retention of mature trees (those in good condition) which contribute to the character of conservation areas where appropriate.

17

In conservation areas, no advertising material other than brass or stone name-plate type signs will be permitted. On commercial properties leading into such areas, advertising will be severely restricted, and shall only relate to the service provided in the premises. In dealing with all advertising in conservation areas, the overriding consideration will be the enhancement and protection of the essential visual qualities of the area. Where applications for security cameras are proposed, every effort should be made to conceal the device and to employ best available technology, including the smallest scale of device available, to ensure that the device would not be obtrusive and would not detract from the integrity of the conservation area.

In conservation areas, the development of housing between the main house and the mews building, particularly on corner sites, has had a detrimental effect on the visual and residential amenities of these areas. Hence, bock/and development will not be permitted in conservation areas where the development proposed would introduce a third line of building between the main building and its associated mews."

Councillor Damien O’FarrellThis Council resolves to reinstate in full Par.15.10.2 of the Dublin City Development Plan 2005-2011 In Its entirety into the Proposed Draft Development Plan 2011 - 2017:

"Development within the Curtilage and Setting of Protected Structures

In considering applications for development within the curtilage of a protected structure, the Planning Authority shall have regard to the following:

• The protected status of the structure and the need to protect its special character• The various elements of the structure which give the protected structure its special

character and how these would be impacted on by the proposed development• Proximity of any new development to the main protected structure and any other

buildings of heritage value• The design of the new development, which should relate to and complement the special

character of the protected structure

An insistence on quality will be a foremost consideration when assessing proposals for development within the curtilage of protected structures, with particular emphasis on siting, building lines, proportions, scale, massing, height, roof treatment and materials. This does not preclude innovative contemporary buildings which can contribute to the richness of the historical context. Materials shall be appropriate to the locality and sympathetic to the existing buildings.

Development proposals should include an appraisal of the wider context of the site or structure. This appraisal should examine the visual impact and design of the proposal and should address issues including the grain of historic settings, sensitivity to scale and context, views and the design of innovative quality architecture which would complement the setting of the protected structure. The Planning Authority will seek to retain the traditional proportionate relationship in scale between buildings, their returns, gardens and mews structures, and shall also seek to retain gardens and mature trees (those in good condition) which contribute to the character of a protected structure, as soft landscape."

18

Councillor Damien O’FarrellThis Council resolves to re-instate the following section of Par. 10.2.1 of the Dublin CityDevelopment Plan 2005-2011 into the Proposed Draft Development Plan 2011 - 2017:

"The special value of conservation areas lies in the architectural design and scale of these areas and is of sufficient importance to require special care in dealing with development proposals and works by the private and public sector alike. Dublin City Council will thus seek to ensure that development proposals within all conservation areas complement the character of the area, including the setting of protected structures, and comply with development standards."

Councillor Mary O’SheaThat the following clarification be included to ensure that nothing in the Development Plan that is adopted for the years 2011-2017(the Development Plan) is at variance with or contradicts the provisions of any Local Area Plan adopted prior to the adoption of the Development Plan where the said Local Area Plan is a valid subsisting document at the date of the adoption of the Development Plan. “Provided Always that the provisions of any validly adopted Local Area Plan adopted prior to the adoption of this Development Plan shall have precedence over the provisions of this Development Plan for the lifetime of the said Local Area Plan, for the avoidance of doubt anything herein contained shall not be capable of amending any provision of the Local Area Plan for the lifetime of the Local Area Plan save where that Local Area Plan is amended in accordance with the provisions of the said Local Area Plan”.

Councillor Mary O’SheaThat the term “policy” as used in the draft Development Plan be defined and the relationship between the terms “policy” and “objective” be clarified,. The provisions of the Planning and Development Act, 2000 dealing with the content of Development Plans obliges a Local Authority to set out development objectives in making a Development Plan however the Act would appear to make no so such provision in relation to policy.

Councillor Mary O’SheaThat greater clarity be provided in defining the Inner City, it would appear to be the areas within the canals, see Chapter 17.3 dealing with density standards, this definition is too broad and encompasses areas like Phibsborough which is also a Key District Centre which has entirely different density standards.

Councillor Mary O’SheaThat greater clarity be provided in the definition of Key District Centers and Key Developing Areas, there are areas such as North Fringe, Ballymun, Naas Road and Phibsborough which are classified as being both.

Councillor Mary O’SheaThat, clarification be provided as to the reasons why in some instances such as the provisions dealing with density standards at Chapter17.3 national guidelines have been rejected and different standards are proposed There is a statutory obligation on a Local Authority to adopt a Development Plan which is in so far as is practicable consistent with such national plans, policies or strategies as the Minister shall determine relate to proper planning and sustainable development. Why is it not practicable to adopt national standards where such are rejected?

19

Councillor Mary O’SheaThat the introduction to Chapter 17 should be amended by the deletion of the 4th paragraph beginning with the sentence “Each planning application will be considered on its own merits.” The wording of this paragraph may lead to inconsistency and gives rise to uncertainty. The Development Plan must be clear and free of ambiguity so that there is no room for misinterpretation.

Councillor Mary O’SheaThat the term “Schematic Masterplans”as referred to in Chapter3 at 3.3.1 be defined. The terminology used in Chapter3.3.1 is confusing is it the intention that the Plans listed at 1to 7 in 3.3.1 will be adopted at some future stage? The relationship between these plans and those at Appendix1 many of which appear outdated needs to be clarified.

Councillor Mary O’SheaThat the areas forming part of the 3 Economic Corridors provided as part of the Core Strategy in Chapter 3 be more specifically defined and indicative uses or proposed zoning of these lands be provided.

Councillor Mary O’SheaThat the Guidelines on Telecommunications Antennae at Appendix 16 be amended to(a) contain an absolute prohibition on the location of such antennae in residential areas or beside a school and (b)to take into consideration the past conduct of the Applicant in maintaining unauthorised masts on site in contravention of the law, when considering any application of the erection of a Telecommunications Mast

Councillor Mary O’Shea Remove the reference to rezoning of the Grangegorman lands.

Councillor Mary Freehill With any development proposal on these lands, consideration for change of use will only be given if the current institutional uses e.g. schools, are no longer needed by the community for the foreseeable future.

Consideration should also be given to their potential to contribute to the development of a strategic green network. PRIOR TO THE SUBMISSION OF AN APPLICATION FOR PLANNING PERMISSION FOR any development, other than minor developments associated with the existing use, the City Council will require the preparation and submission of a Schematic Masterplan, this plan must be submitted for agreement by the Local Area Committee.

Where lands zoned Z15 are to be developed, a minimum of 25% of the site, incorporating landscape features and the essential open character of the site, will be required to be retained as accessible public open space.

In considering any proposal for development on lands subject to zoning objective Z15, other than development directly related to the existing community and institutional uses, Dublin City Council will require the preparation and submission of a master plan setting out a clear vision for the future for the development of the entire land holding. In particular, the master plan will need to identify the strategy for the provision of the 25% public open space requirements associated with any residential development, to ensure a co-ordinated approach to the creation of high quality new public open space facilities on these lands.

And, for the avoidance of doubt, at least 20% social and affordable housing requirement, as set out in the Housing Strategy in this Plan, will apply in the development of lands subject to the Z15 zoning objective.

Zoning Objective Z15: Permissible UsesATM, Buildings for the health, safety and welfare of the public, Childcare facility, Community facility, Cultural/recreational building and uses, Education, Medical and related consultants, Open space, Place of public worship, Public service installation, Residential institution

Councillor Christy BurkeDelete following from Appendix 25

Outdoor Advertising StructureDublin is a unique City where high quality architecture of all periods combines with a strongly defined urban form of streets, squares and spaces to create a dynamic metropolis with a very special sense of place. To build on Dublin’s physical assets and to generate an urban realm of the highest possible quality this individual quality of place needs to be nurtured and enhanced through creative, intelligent and co-ordinated intervention. Significant, unde utilised, value exists in the public domain which if carefully harnessed can provide the means by which the City of Dublin can generate public realm improvements without compromise to the character of the City. These improvements could improve street architecture, surface improvements, enhanced access to public services and a more attractive City. Such improvements can be facilitated through a managed programme of on-street outdoor advertising.

Councillor Christy Burke

Appendix 25Amend the following paragraphs:

Applications for new advertising structures on private and public lands (adjacent to primary routes) will be considered having regard to the following: The geographical zone in which the site is located. The rationale for the proposed advertising structure. The concentration of existing advertising structures in the area. The design of the advertising panel and the use of high quality materials. The scale of the panel relative to the buildings and streets in which the advertising structure

is to be located. Impact on the character of the street and the amenities of adjoining properties. Advertising panels will not be permitted where they interfere with the safety of pedestrians,

the accessibility of the public footpath or roadway, the safety and free flow of traffic or if they obscure road signs. An independent stage 2, road safety audit shall be submitted with the application and an independent stage 3 road safety audit conducted at the time of erection.

Councillor Christy Burke

Appendix 25Delete the word “metropole” in following paragraph as it is advertising operator specific.

38

In order to achieve a coherent and standardised typology for outdoor display panels, Dublin City Council has a clear preference for two different types of advertising panels: 6-sheet size advertising panels and 8 sq.m metropole structures.

Councillor Christy BurkeAppendix 25Insert before the paragraph reading “The provision of all advertising in the city centre will be monitored and controlled in order to prevent the creation of undesirable visual clutter and to protect environmentally sensitive areas and buildings” the phrase “Dublin City Council will establish an Advertising Control Unit to oversee and enforce the following objectives”.

Councillor Christy BurkeAppendix 25Motion to Delete “In exceptional circumstances applications for advertising display panels may be considered in zones where advertising structures would not normally be permissible. In such instances temporary display panels may be approved where they can be used for the screening of buildings sites or land, which are aesthetically unsightly.”

And replace with:“In exceptional circumstances applications for advertising display panels may be considered in zones where advertising structures would not normally be permissible. In such instances temporary display panels may be approved where they can be used for the screening of building sites or land, which are aesthetically unsightly. Under no circumstances however will permanent permission be granted and all such permissions will be time limited and the expiry date clearly displayed on or next to the panel. Should active work cease at the building site for a period of three months or more the panels must be removed. In the case of sighs or advertisements erected without planning permission Dublin City Council will use powers section 209 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (or as may be amended) or the provisions of the Litter Act to ensure removal.

Councillor Declan FlanaganThat DCC provide more clarify around the whole area of the Transport 21 plan which is mentioned on page 16 and the fact that it has been commented upon that it has been shelfed , following this reasoning what is the significance of mentioning it in the document in light of this and where does this leave the document as a whole.

Councillor Declan FlanaganI note on page 18 the reference to strengthening Dublin as the National retail destination. That DCC provides further detail in the document of how it will be able to ensure that the city is amenable to all shoppers and at the same time ensure that traffic throughout the city is moving quickly during peak times, can you comment on same please and its not elaborated clearly in the document

Councillor Declan FlanaganWith reference to page 18 and the mention of the city having 503 available hectares of zoned and serviced land which has the capacity to provide 67,000 residential units. That DCC provide the evidence of how these figures arrived at firstly and would they comment on how this can be achieved by way of high density living such as 3-4 story apartments, please comment on same.

Councillor Declan FlanaganThat I wish to welcome Dublin city Councils approach to the Inner city which is mentioned on page 27 of the document , it is very important to rejuvenate this area , however can DCC provide a plan as to how it proposes to achieve this in light of the current situation, can DCCs strategy be incorporated into the document.

Councillor Declan FlanaganIn terms of developing a local area plan for Liffey quays and a masterplan for croke park and the Environs, can DCC provide a any timeframe in place for same and how does the council propose to go about doing this in the current situation. Can a timeframe be included in the document.

Councillor Declan FlanaganThat In terms of Key district centres, DCC provides a run down as to the types of commercial and community services they would like to see in these centres as mentioned in page 29 of the document, can you be specific on this.

Councillor Declan FlanaganThat in reference to page 43, I wish to fully support the idea of an integrated public transport network, however can the council provide details of any high level talks they may have had with the stakeholders as yet, such as Dublin Bus, the Luas, Iarnród Eireann and how have these talks progressed, is there any timeframe in place for making integrated public transport a reality and can details of this be included on the document

Councillor Declan FlanaganThat I fully support the councils view on Cycling around the city as mentioned in page 44 of the plan, however can DCC incorporate into the document how they are going to adequately find the balance between the needs of cyclists with that of motorists.

Councillor Declan FlanaganThat the council says it wishes to implement a 30Kph speed limit inside the city centre (area between the canals), This appears to be a huge area taking in more than the city centre, it is felt that 30Kph speeds may be too low in some of these areas, can the Council comment further on this and the impact it could have on those that use the road. Can Dublin City council remove the section that says area between the canals and put the 30Kph speed limit only in the heart of the city centre?

Councillor Declan FlanaganRe page 47 and the note around Car parking in the city, can the council reduce its hourly car parking charge in order to encourage more shoppers/motorists into the city?

Councillor Declan FlanaganCan the council ensure that high rise density development from 8-16 stories does not occur in Clonshaugh or the Northern fringe as it is against the wishes of he residents and would be out of character with this area? Can Clonshaugh be removed from the list of “special areas” as laid down in the document?

Councillor Declan FlanaganThe following is feedback from the Clonshaugh/riverside residents:Already, as we suggested the new development plan was not presented to you last week in the manner which citizens requested so as it would be clearly recognizable what had changed from the old plan we had suggested as did many more people a plan that was colour coded showing what is old, what is the same and what is new. Again officials in DCC did not follow this simple request. At this basic level we think they try to confuse and as far as possible hide what they really intend for the city.

Councillor Declan Flanagan

50

That DCC make more reference to the need for tourism in the document, DCC needs to do more to encourage tourism into the city, it needs to work more with Bord Fáilte and Dublin tourism in order to achieve this, reference made to Tourism on page 88.

Councillor Declan FlanaganThat DCC make every effort to secure/ push for a metro be set aside so that eventually there might be a possibility of one for Northside Development.

Councillor Declan FlanaganThat DCC liaise more with stateholders such as Dublin Bus towards providing a decent bus service for the Clonshaugh area. A better bus service needs to be in place before any further development can be considered in light of the current proposals.

Councillor Cieran PerryThis Council resolves to re-instate the following section of Par. 10.2.1 of the Dublin City Development Plan 2005-2011 into the Proposed Draft Development Plan 2011 - 2017:


Councillor Cieran PerryRemove the reference to rezoning of the Grangegorman lands.

Councillor Oisín Quinn This Council resolves to keep the Z2 Conservation Area zoning for the terrace of fishermen's cottages known as Llandaff Terrace, Merrion Road, Dublin 4.

Councillor Cieran Perry Section 3.2.3.2Reference is made to the development plan placing an emphasis on institutional lands being used as future development sites. Please insert a statement that all developments within these sites “will be subject to planning controls agreed by the city council and that all sites will contain a community gain clause”. These guidelines are not contained within the draft document.

Councillor Cieran Perry Section 4.4.1.1SCO4: omit the wording “significant long term” from the section. Include the following text within this section “Dublin City Council will implement the Derelict Sites Act to its full legal force to speed up the redevelopment of these sites for the betterment of our city.”

Councillor Cieran Perry SC8 change text to read “…..sustainable densities of development which must include the protection of surrounding residents and communities”

74

Councillor Cieran Perry SC11 add in above addendum “These sustainable densities will include due consideration for the protection of surrounding residents, households and community.”

Councillor Cieran Perry Section 4.4.4.1Delete paragraph 6 of this section because the implication is that heights of up to 8 storeys are standard within the city and that it is DCC policy to retain this height. This is factually incorrect. It is an incorrect representation of the prevailing height within Dublin.

Councillor Cieran Perry SC15: delete reference to “and medium rise” as Dublin is predominantly a low rise city.

Councillor Cieran Perry Section 5.2.4.10In reference to noise pollution, add in the following as a policy‘Dublin City Council will provide greater resources to increase the success of the Environmental Health Unit by providing a 24 hour, 7 day a week service.”

Councillor Cieran Perry With reference to Figure 13 under the Culture section, I wish to draw your attention to the obvious deficit of cultural sites on the north side of the city. I can only assume that the failure to recognise the significance of the GPO, O’Connell Street and many other historical and cultural sites is a reflection on the poor quality of work put into this section. The inclusion of Temple Bar as a cultural centre reflects upon the shallow vision of the City management. It is essential that the poor quality of this section is rectified and that the importance of Dublin as a genuine cultural centre is recognised.

It is with the above in mind that I suggest that Dublin City Council select a chosen day to be designated “Dublin Day” and that everything that we cherish and celebrate about our Capital city be recognised. A day which celebrates everything that is positive about our people, our communities, our history, our arts and everything else that makes Dublin a wonderful place. This event will promote Dublin on an international level using the talents of our people and communities.

Councillor Cieran Perry 8.4.8 HR10: delete all references within the draft plan to “Creative Dublin Alliance” as the composition and purpose of this body is unknown.

Councillor Cieran Perry RE 24: omit the words “private” due to the failure of the PPP system in previous schemes.

Councillor Cieran Perry Reference is made to consideration being given to acceptance of financial contributions in lieu of provision of public open spaces (paragraph 6) by developers. I propose that any decision on this issue is “subject to the agreed approval of local councillors” and that it should be a reserved function of the Local Area Committee elected representatives.

Councillor Cieran Perry Section 17.40.13Residential car parking in apartments

Delete paragraph 3 and the proposed opt out clauses. Car parking is a major concern and this section is open to exploitation.

Councillor Cieran Perry Social Housing LeasingIn relation to the provision of new capital to lease vacant property, it is essential that we delete all reference to “helping absorb some of the oversupply in the market.” It is not the role of Dublin City Council to facilitate commercial developers who have overestimated the housing market. Dublin City Council should not become paying tenants of discredited developers

Councillor Cieran Perry Social & Private Housing.Delete this section and replace with up to date social & economic figures post Budget with a focus on the provision of Social Housing.

Councillor Ray McAdamThis Council resolves to re-instate Par. 15.10.4. of the Dublin City Development Plan 2005-2011 in its entirety into the Proposed Draft Development Plan 2011 - 2017: “Development in Conservation Areas All new buildings should complement and enhance the character and setting of conservation areas. In considering proposals for development in conservation areas, it is policy to have particular regard to:

81

· The effect of the proposed development on buildings and the surrounding environment, both natural and man-made· The impact of development on the immediate streetscape in terms of compatibility of design, scale, height, plot width, roof treatment, materials, landscaping, mix and intensity of use proposed.

Development within conservation areas should be so designed so as not to constitute a visually obtrusive or dominant form of development. New alterations and extensions should complement existing buildings/structures in terms of design, external finishes, colour, texture, windows/doors/roof/chimney/design and other details. The Planning Authority discourages the use of uPVC or aluminium in windows, fascias and doors in historic buildings that are not protected. Proposals for the application of cement render to the external fabric of older buildings will not be encourages in conservation areas. In assessing development proposals, the Planning Authority will seek the retention of mature trees (those in good condition) which contribute to the character of conservation areas where appropriate. In conservation areas, no advertising material other than brass or stone name-plate type signs will be permitted. On commercial properties leading into such areas, advertising will be severely restricted, and shall only relate to the service provided in the premises. In dealing with all advertising in conservation areas, the overriding consideration will be the enhancement and protection of the essential visual qualities of the area. Where applications for security cameras are proposed, every effort should be made to conceal the device and to employ best available technology, including the smallest scale of device available, to ensure that the device would not be obtrusive and would not detract from the integrity of the conservation area. In conservation areas, the development of housing between the main house and the mews building, particularly on corner sites, has had a detrimental effect on the visual and residential amenities of these areas. Hence, backland development will not be permitted in conservation areas where the development proposed would introduce a third line of building between the main building and its associated mews.” Councillor Ray McAdamThis Council resolves to reinstate in full Par.15.10.2 of the Dublin City Development Plan 2005-2011 in its entirety into the Proposed Draft Development Plan 2011 - 2017: “Development within the Curtilage and Setting of Protected Structures In considering applications for development within the curtilage of a protected structure, the Planning Authority shall have regard to the following:

· The protected status of the structure and the need to protect its special character· The various elements of the structure which give the protected structure its special character and how these would be impacted on by the proposed development· Proximity of any new development to the main protected structure and any other buildings of heritage value· The design of the new development, which should relate to and complement the special character of the protected structure

The role of cities and planning and development policies are increasingly critical factors in economic development, employment growth and prosperity. Sustainable development has economic, environmental and social aspects; there is a need for planning to be responsive to changing economic circumstances and to balance complex sets of economic, environmental or social goals. The Development Plan and management system are crucial in promoting economic development and employment growth. The following criteria will be an integral tool to aid assessments of strategic planning and development opportunities:1. Do the density, scale and quality of the development optimise the consolidation of the City Region?2. Is there significant regeneration benefit within the area, and/or the potential for follow-on future development?3. Does the development maximise the economic return on public investment in infrastructure?4. Will the development support an existing or create a new tourist attraction within the City Region?5. Does the development support the development of agglomeration economies and clustering?6. Does the development contribute to the achievement of other strategic objectives for the City Region such as enterprise and employment creation?7. Does it contribute positively to the image and identity of a Creative City Region?8. Does it contribute to an enhancement of quality of life?

Councillor Naoise O’MuiriThis Council resolves to re-instate the following section of Par. 10.2.1 of the Dublin City Development Plan 2005-2011 into the Proposed Draft Development Plan 2011 - 2017:

The special value of conservation areas lies in the architectural design and scale of these areas and is of sufficient importance to require special care in dealing with development proposals and works by the private and public sector alike. Dublin City Council will thus seek to ensure that development proposals within all conservation areas complement the character of the area, including the setting of protected structures, and comply with development standards.

Councillor Vincent Jackson That Dublin city change zoning from the park adjoining Orchard Lawns, Croftwood Green, Blackditch Road & Cherry Orchard Ave. Ballyfermot back to open space from housing / community use due to change in economic situation.

Similarly, any development by the Council or other state agencies should include high quality landmarks such as bridges, monuments and civic centres.

Gateways will act as points at which visitors to the city might be encouraged to switch from private transport to public transport through the provision of park and ride facilities.

17.3, ‘Density Standards’ box: at the end of first sentence in Public Transport Catchments strand, add: “provided that this does not interfere with the objectives in this plan regarding conservation areas.”

Councillor Michael ConaghanFostering Dublin’s Character and CultureIt is agreed that this section of the Development Plan should include more specific provision for the conservation of key artefacts, structures, creations etc. from within the City’s milling, railway and canal experience.

In this context the conservation of the old mill at Rowerstown Lane (Kilmainham) with its roots in the medieval period, should become a specific objective of the new Development Plan. Its conservation and development and future use should be guided by the conservation plan for it drawn up by the Belfast based Industrial Archaeology consultants.

Councillor Michael ConaghanPre-Georgian HeritageDublin City Council has a significant heritage of pre-Georgian buildings which have largely remained unknown and unappreciated. This heritage of “gabled” street architecture was responsible for the growth and development of many of the streets of the City and was as impressive and valuable as the street architecture of the Georgian and Victorian eras that succeeded it. It is agreed that City Council undertake a survey and a study of the remains of this “gabled tradition” and assist the conservation, recording and in some cases the restoration of representative examples of these houses so as to prevent this legacy being lost.

Councillor Michael ConaghanCreating Good Neighbourhoods and Successful CommunitiesThe Draft Development Plan mentions many of the factors and elements that combine to create “successful communities”; however there is no reference to the role of policing. In this regard therefore it is agreed by City Council that in an era of Joint Policing clear reference is made in the Development Plan to City Council’s legal and moral responsibility now for contributing to “safety and security” at community level.

Councillor Michael ConaghanProviding Quality Homes in a Compact City In the Draft Development Plan reference is made to Apartment Dwelling becoming the norm in the “Compact City” and several references are made to the criteria for “size, space, dual aspect etc.” in the development and construction of appropriate apartment dwellings but no mention is made of “apartment management”. To address this serious omission, City Council agrees to include in the Development Plan, clear reference to the development and implementation of appropriate and effective apartment management strategies. In this regard the Plan should include reference to successful templates of apartment management especially those in countries with a long history of apartment dwelling and successful apartment management structures and systems.

Councillor Michael ConaghanThe Proposed Heuston / Museum QuarterThe Heuston / Museum Quarter should be re-imagined and expanded to include all of Kilmainham / Inchicore so as to take in all of this area’s cluster of nationally and locally significant cultural sites. The Development Plan should seek to foster the development of this

108

expanded Cultural Quarter as a more densely populated live / work district, with increased linkages and permeability connecting the disparate parts and transforming under-utilised amenity resources like the grounds of the Royal Hospital in Kilmainham into centre-pieces of a vibrant city quarter, at all times having regard to the grain and character of the area.

Councillor Michael ConaghanRevitalising the City’s EconomyIn this chapter, more reference should be made to the potential of Arts and Cultural spheres of activity, especially those areas where the City has a deep and indigenous talent and world wide renown, music, literature, theatre and increasingly the contemporary visual arts etc. as a means of stimulating the City’s economy. To this should be added film making and high-end fashion products. In this regard, a City “quarter” should be established where young, creative individuals and craftspeople are given space and other necessary supports so as to bring forward a new generation of creative production.

Councillor Mary FitzpatrickThis Council resolves that the following be omitted from Par 17.6.1 of the Proposed Draft Development Plan 2011 – 2017:

“All proposed buildings less than mid-rise in height (25m) but more than two storeys (6m) higher than the prevailing height in the vicinity shall be accompanied by an Urban Design Statement outlining:The context indicating a site and area analysis.The design principles which have been applied to the site and how these will be translated to the development in terms of layout, density, scale, landscape, visual appearance and impact on amenities, including sunlight.Drawings, prospectus and photomontages to demonstrate how the approach has been applied on the site.”

and replaced with: “All proposed buildings less than mid-rise in height (18m) but more than one storey (3m) higher than the prevailing height in the vicinity shall be accompanied by an Urban Design Statement outlining:The context indicating a site and area analysis.The design principles which have been applied to the site and how these will be translated to the development in terms of layout, density, scale, landscape, visual appearance and impact on amenities, including sunlight.Drawings, prospectus and photomontages to demonstrate how the approach has been applied on the site.”

Councillor Mary FitzpatrickThis Council resolves to re-instate Par. 15.10.4. of the Dublin City Development Plan 2005-2011 in its entirety into the Proposed Draft Development Plan 2011 - 2017:

“Development in Conservation AreasAll new buildings should complement and enhance the character and setting of conservation areas. In considering proposals for development in conservation areas, it is policy to have particular regard to:


109






Councillor Mary FitzpatrickThis Council resolves to reinstate in full Par.15.10.2 of the Dublin City Development Plan 2005-2011 in its entirety into the Proposed Draft Development Plan 2011 - 2017:



The protected status of the structure and the need to protect its special characterThe various elements of the structure which give the protected structure its special character and how these would be impacted on by the proposed development Proximity of any new development to the main protected structure and any other buildings of heritage valueThe design of the new development, which should relate to and complement the special character of the protected structure

An insistence on quality will be a foremost consideration when assessing proposals for development within the curtilage of protected structures, with particular emphasis on siting, building lines, proportions, scale, massing, height, roof treatment and materials. This does not

110

preclude innovative contemporary buildings which can contribute to the richness of the historical context. Materials shall be appropriate to the locality and sympathetic to the existing buildings.Development proposals should include an appraisal of the wider context of the site or structure.
