Appendix C: Vegetation Landscape Types within the LAP Area• Woodland

There is limited woodland cover in the Kiltiernan/Glenamuck area. In some instances the mature hedgerows give way to linear wooded areas. If comparison is made with the 1st edition OS map for the area it is evident that the present day woodland habitat corresponds with that mapped in the early 19th century. The species found in these wooded areas are not greatly different from those of the hedgerows.

A wooded strip, located along the south-eastern perimeter of the LAP area and zoned ‘Objective G’, is of interest because it contains a small stand of pure blackthorn. This blackthorn forms a dense stand of ten metre tall bushes that diminish to bushes of about one metre in the adjacent field. Grazing pressure may be keeping the spread of the blackthorn in check.

On the slopes (external to the LAP area) overlooking Palmers Restaurant at the Golden Ball there is a small stand of recently planted ash and older mature broadleaved (ash, sycamore, oak, holly) woodlands. The old woodland appears on the 1st edition ordnance survey map so possibly dates back to mid 19th century. This is valuable habitat for birds and mammals of the area and a link with the network of hedgerows to the upland woods in the hinterland.

• Hedgerows

The most significant habitat type in the LAP area is hedgerow. Many of the hedgerows have a high biodiversity and preliminary inspection undertaken during the HCLA study, identified those classified as being mature as being over one hundred years old. Mature hedgerows in the area are characterised by a range of mature native tree species, most notably ash, have three to four layers of vegetation and are generally four to six metres wide at ground level. These hedgerows may be described as linear woodlands. Unlike recently planted or maintained and stock-proof hedges the mature hedgerows in the Kiltiernan / Glenamuck area have, in many cases, an interior environment. This adds to their value as habitats for birds, mammals and invertebrates.

In general the condition of the hedgerows ranges from very good to excellent. The mature and well structured hedgerows require limited management intervention. Under-planting may be necessary where mature trees and heavy shade lead to a dearth of ground vegetation.

The HCLA Study recommends undertaking a detailed ranking survey of the hedgerows, which could qualify the sustainability of these important resources. This is particularly important considering that land, which has been zoned for future development, contains mature hedgerows.

The main tree/shrub species of the hedgerows are: Ash, hawthorn, blackthorn, sycamore, oak, willow, holly, blackberry, elderberry and elm.

• Grassland

A significant proportion of the land is currently grazed or in a few instances cut for silage. In some cases the grasslands have not been actively managed in recent years and thistle, ragwort and gorse are prevalent. The grasslands to the west of the R117 are generally on shallower mineral soils than those to the east. The land on the west rises to scrub vegetation and then into coniferous woodland. The shallow mineral soils in this area are also prone to have more exposed boulder material. Where grazing pressure is absent gorse has come to dominate on what might be described as rough grassland. The fields immediately behind the Golden Ball have drainage problems and rushes and horsetail plants are evidence that this has been a problem for a number of years. More intensive management of grassland is evident to the east of the R117. Here silage is cut and grass / clover mix is prevalent in some fields.

Reduced grazing pressure may result, in the long term, in increased biodiversity. Plants abundant along the margins of fields begin to colonise the abandoned grasslands. In the field opposite the Church of Ireland church willow and gorse are spreading into the field, which is currently dominated by a variety of grasses and thistle.

Sports grounds are another grassland management regime. The grass is fertilised and cut and limited to a few grass species.

On the western side of Glenamuck Road, there is an area given over to cereal production. Cereal production is an intensive form of agriculture requiring high inputs of fertilizer, pest/weed management and the production of one species over relatively large areas. In spite of that the cereal fields are generally bordered by mature and wide hedgerows.

• Roadside Vegetation

Along the roads of the area the main habitats are hedgerows and stone walls. The margins of the R117 are of limited biodiversity value. Mature beech dominates on the approach from the south along the R117 while leaving the area to the north the mature hedgerows of the area are seen to the east. Along the Glenamuck Road and the R116 where gardens give way to agricultural lands the hedgerows are mature and rich in species, and for the main mature and well structured.

108

• Gardens

The houses in the Kiltiernan / Glenamuck area have for the most part mature gardens with a variety of native and exotic species. Mature poplar, eucalyptus and cypresses are found in gardens with beech, oak, ash, willow and birch. These are often mature trees and give a sense of continuity or linkage to the surrounding countryside and in particular to the hedgerows and wooded patches.

109


Appendix D: Relevant Landscape Character AreasDescription Sensitivity/Strategy

5. Kilternan Plain

This is a large enclosure, which comprises the hillocky plain lying between Three Rock to the west, Newtown, Barnaslingan (The Scalp) and Carrickgollogan to the south, the disused lead mines and chimney to the east. The enclosure is curtailed to the north by the coniferous plantation on Three Rock. The edge of Stepaside Area Action Plan and Ticknick also forms a boundary to the north east.

This enclosure is characterised by a series of smaller hillocks within a plain. Roads run between the undulations most notably the main Enniskerry Road running north-south from Stepaside and disappearing into the Scalp.

This large hillocky plain that is part of the foothills of the Dublin Mountains accommodates much of the rural development in the County (Kiltiernan and Stepaside). Given its terrain and the number of routeways traversing this plain, it is likely to be subject to the most pressure for long term development, which would significantly alter the existing landscape.

• The area has accommodated much change generated by the pressures of being adjacent to a large urban area. The village of Stepaside will accommodate further change as detailed in the Area Action Plan. There is a risk that continued linear development along the road between Kiltiernan and Stepaside will simply merge the two villages into a continuous built up strip. Settlement strategy shall ensure the consolidation of these villages along with the provision of an open space buffer zone between the two.

6. Ballycorus

This enclosure encompasses the valley along which runs the Ballycorus Road and is bounded by the disused lead mines to the south and Ticknick and the Glenamuck Road to the north, Barnaslingan to the west with Three Rock in the background. This enclosure displays past and also present industrial/extractive works. The past is in the form of the old leadworks especially the lead mine’s chimney. Quarrying/extraction has continued into the present with the activities of Cement Roadstone in the valley.

• Recognition of the important role of Ballycorus leadmines in the past.

• Dingle Glen is a sensitive landscape and shall be afforded protection due to its rarity.

• Maintenance and restoration of field patterns and boundaries.

• Consideration of designation of Carrickgollogan Hill as an area for a Special Amenity Area Order.

13. Carrickmines

This enclosure encompasses the area east of the Stepaside Action Area and is bounded by the motorway to the north, the Glenamuck Road to the South and the Enniskerry Road to the west. The most dominant visual feature of this enclosure is the Ballyogan landfill. The landforms of the area have been stripped. This enclosure is dominated by the fact that it is located at the edge of the built up area of Dun Laoghaire Rathdown. It functions as a buffer between the more densely built-up area of Leopardstown/Stepaside and the lower density suburban generated housing area of Kiltiernan.

This enclosure is best viewed from a height adjacent to Dingle Glen NHA. From this viewpoint one gets a clear view of the enclosure. The impact of the multitude of urban uses – the tiphead, pylons and houses on the landscape are evident.

• Following on from decommissioning of the existing tiphead it is probable that the landscape of this enclosure will alter. The decommissioning of the tiphead offers an opportunity to enhance and restore a portion of the landscape for an amenity type purpose. The enclosure sits between the urban and the rural landscapes and is capable of accommodating development.

110

Appendix E: Historical Heritage of Kiltiernan/GlenamuckPrehistoric periodThe first evidence of habitation appears in the Kiltiernan/Glenamuck area in the Neolithic period. Excavations at the portal tomb in Kiltiernan produced artifactural evidence from said Period in the form of coarse ware pottery, flint arrowheads and scrapers. There is evidence of extensive tomb building along the flanks of the Dublin mountains, with portal-type tombs located to the east of the county on the lower slopes of the Dublin mountains e.g. Brennanstown and Kiltiernan. The simple agriculture practiced during this period was suited to the thinner upland soils.

Evidence for habitation in the Dublin area during the Bronze Age is sparse. While the overall settlement pattern in the area comprising the south-east portion of DLRCC is mixed, a number of the lowlands sites date to the Bronze age, while a number of the upland sites date to the Neolithic period, thus suggesting a gradual trend from upland to lowland. Kiltiernan / Glenamuck is located between these two settlement zones.

Pre-Christian PeriodNear Kiltiernan - at Rathmichael, there is evidence of a later Bronze Age hillfort, which encloses a ringfort with a souterrain (or artificial subterranean structure constructed for storage or refuge).The scale of structures such as this and the impressive coastal promontory forts, constructed during the late Bronze age and early Iron Age suggests the presence of sizable populations. The upland focus of settlement is still evident during this time.

Early Christian PeriodThere are sixty-seven pre-Norman ecclesiastical sites in county Dublin, with the main concentration of such sites to the south east of the county (Geraldine Stout). These sites would have functioned as service and population centres. The church at Kiltiernan appears to date from this period.

The move of settlement from upland to lowland is clearly evident during this period. The concentration of important church sites on the lower fringes of the Dublin Mountains demonstrates that Kiltiernan is located in an important transition zone during this period.

Medieval PeriodBy the medieval period the focus of settlement was on the lowland sites where soil was heavier, and forest covering had been cleared throughout the early Christian period. The medieval fabric includes elements such as castles and fortifications. While there is documentary evidence of a castle in Kiltiernan, the site of its location is unknown.

One of the earliest recorded mentions of the name Kiltiernan (i.e. The Church of Tiernan) appears to be in the Papal Taxation Rolls of 1306. In a charter dated 1406 the parish is recorded as being the property of St Mary’s Abbey, Dublin and this connection probably goes back to at least 1185. The foundation of the church at this site has been attributed to a saint called Tiernan, whose festival is April 8, but nothing is known about him.

The only visible fabric that may actually date to this period are the ruins of a small church on Bishop’s Lane located to the west of the south-western boundary of the LAP area. There is no record of the church being used after the dissolution of the local Abbey (Irish monasteries were dissolved in 1540) and the church became a ruin.

16th to 18th CenturiesThroughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Kiltiernan lay beyond the pale. The economy was tillage based with a relatively high proportion of Gaelic as opposed to Anglo surnames in evidence.

In Roque’s 1750 map the early roots of the settlement at Kiltiernan or ‘Kill Ternan’ appears as a cluster of houses around a central open area - perhaps a green or ‘square’. While this could not be considered as a substantial settlement, it does exhibit evidence of planning and formal layout.

After the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the lands and rectory of Kiltiernan passed into the hands of the Dean of St Patrick’s who granted them to the FitzWilliam family.

The Fitzwilliams kept the property until the closing years of the seventeenth century when they passed to the Johnson family (After the 1641 rebellion Kiltiernan may have became part of the Loughlinstown estates of Sir William Domville.). The Johnsons are credited with building a manor house and a mill and this may be the mill, which is annotated in Roque’s 1750 map.

The early focus of settlement was to the west of the present day village of Kiltiernan, in the vicinity of the old church. This is clearly evident in Roque’s 1750 map and also in Taylor’s 1816 map. By the time of Taylor’s map a second mill had been constructed to the east, but the focus of settlement is still on the old church site and the early mill, in conjunction with Kiltiernan Demesne.

111


19th Century30 years later – in the first edition Ordnance Survey map, this focal point may correlate with a cluster of houses which are evident in trees to the west of Kiltiernan Lodge.

Survival of fabric between the various maps is quite strong, with the existence of the mill being illustrated throughout. As the church was abandoned at such an early date, and therefore has not been altered, its survival at this point acts as an anchor point for reference between various maps.

The ‘landscaping’ in Roque’s 1750 map in the sites later occupied by Kiltiernan House and Kiltiernan Lodge, suggest continuity of settlement at these two sites.

While many of these elements display some survival to the present day, the main focus of settlement at Kiltiernan / Glenamuck has drifted eastwards, to occupy a location on the main communication route (R117) in the region.

In Roque’s 1790 map of Ireland, ‘Killternan’ is sufficiently important to merit inclusion. While this map does not give us very detailed information about the site the cartographic style of this map, does illustrate the relationship between the settlement and the surrounding mountain landscape to the west and south.

By 1837 there is evidence of a number of house clusters scattered around the area that later became known as Kiltiernan. To the east of the cotton mill and north of ‘Boddies Bridge’ (now known as Kiltiernan Bridge) stood one cluster of houses.

In the vicinity of the Post Office there is evidence of settlement and again a small number of habitations are evident at the Golden Ball cross roads. These sites appear to form the core around which later settlement evolves.

The Church of Ireland parishes of Kilgobbin and ‘Kilternan’ were combined by Act of Parliament in 1824. Kilgobbin church had been rebuilt on the old pre-Norman site in 1703 and it is reputed to have been the first church erected in Ireland after the Reformation. By 1818, this Church was in poor repair and too small for its congregation. The present day Church of Ireland church at Kiltiernan was designed by John Semple (also the architect for Whitechurch, Donnybrook, Tallaght, Rathmines and the Black Church in Dorset Street, Dublin). It was built on a new site by John Richardson and consecrated on 10 December 1826. In 1837 the Parochial Hall was built, in 1870 a house near the Church was purchased for use as a rectory and in 1908 the stained glass east window was installed.

The 1837 map of Kiltiernan illustrates a thriving location with a Cotton Factory and a Paper Mill in the area. This map also illustrates the area as a Landlord dominated landscape. While industrial features such as mills existed, they were most likely

owned and run by the landed classes. Also illustrating the landed classes is the presence of many large houses, of which Kiltiernan House, Kiltiernan Lodge, Rockville and Glenamuck Houses are important. The impact of parklands and Demesne land on the landscape is also evident at this time.

Both Kiltiernan House and Kiltiernan Lodge were sufficiently substantial to merit mention in the Ordnance survey name books, and both are recorded as being two storey slated houses. The cluster of houses to the west of Kiltiernan Lodge identified in earlier maps would appear to have become disused by the 1830s. While these appear as a distinct group of structures in the 1750 map they appear to have been over-taken by Kiltiernan Lodge at this time, as there is substantial planting in the vicinity of these structures.

Industry and institutionsThe nineteenth century drawing of Kiltiernan paper mill by Wakeman shows a substantial two-storey building with slate roof. This supports the entry in the Ordnance Survey Name books, which provide the following detail: “Paper Mill - North part of the td. of Kiltiernan. About 25 to 30 persons employed & a greater number of boys & girls. Has a good supply of water.”

In addition to the paper mill there was also a cotton Mill located in the townland of Kiltiernan – this was slightly larger than the paper mill:

“Cotton Mill - North part of the Td of Kiltiernan & south of road leading from Dundrum to Enniskerry. About 35 persons employed; has a constant supply of water”.

While there is a long tradition of lead mining at nearby Ballycorus, no direct evidence has been found of a linkage between the two areas. This is possibly because maintenance of the local ‘big houses’ and the mills between them provided sufficient employment for the working class population.

As with previous maps (particularly the 1790 map by Roque), the 1860 map clearly illustrates Kiltiernan as an important point on the route from Dublin, Dundrum and ‘Killgobbin’ to the South of Ireland. The importance of this routeway explains why the earlier settlement - originating at the church site and later evolving in to a mill site - moved eastwards. The beginnings of this move can be seen here, however, at this time, Golden Ball is a more important site on the routeway than Kiltiernan, which has not been named.

112

Appendix F: Recommendations of the Historical Landscape Character Assessment

Recommendations 1 - How the HLCA could inform the LAPIssue Recommendation

Future Development Future development in the study area should take cognisance of the context. Therefore to minimise impact, future development should consider the unique mix of scale / massing in the current fabric.

Protection of Built Fabric It is imperative to protect historically important local buildings.Protection of Hedgerows Protection of local hedgerows is a high priority for ensuring habitat survival and

maintaining local biodiversity.

Adoption of Local Placenames Usage of local placenames should be encouraged wherever possible in future developments.

Use of Local Building Materials An important element of the local character is employment of granite in construction. The use of local granite should be encouraged in future development, to continue the tradition of utilising local materials and to maximise the visual and economic linkages with the local landscape.

Retention of Views Preservation of both internal and external views is important considerations as they are essential elements of the local character.

Recommendations 2 – Future WorkIssue Recommendation

Loughlinstown River Study It is important to undertake a detailed study of the Loughlinstown River system including: the historical industrial systems, the portal tomb, the Early Christian/Medieval church precinct, Mill House precinct, Moss Cottage precinct and the surviving mill ruins.

Kiltiernan Castle The possible location of Kiltiernan Castle is unknown, and should be investigated further.

Flora and Fauna A full inventory of flora and fauna is required, encompassing, mammals, invertebrates, fish, birds, birds and plant life.

Estate Houses It would be worthwhile to undertake a detailed study of the local large estate houses (their demesnes and contexts). This would include Shaldon Grange, Rockville, Kiltiernan Lodge, the old Mill House, and the site of Kiltiernan Abbey. (The latter three buildings/sites are not within the LAP area.)

Victorian Fabric Consideration should be given to investigate and protect the wide range of Victorian buildings and elements in the village.

Design Guide It would be worthwhile considering a style/design guide, which could be adopted to encourage sympathetic further development in the study area.

Appendix J: Development Contribution SchemesSection 48

Sub-section (1) of Section 48 of the Planning and Development Act, 2000, enables a planning authority, when granting a planning permission under Section 34 of the Act, to include conditions for requiring the payment of a contribution. This contribution is in respect of public infrastructure and facilities benefiting development in the area of the planning authority, and that is provided, or that it is intended will be provided, by or on behalf of a local authority (regardless of other sources of funding for the infrastructure and facilities).

The Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council Development Contribution Scheme 2004 was adopted by the County Council on 21 January 2004. Under the Scheme, the contributions to be paid (except where an Exemption applies) in respect of the different classes of public infrastructure and facilities are as follows from 1 January 2008:

The following categories of development will be exempted from the requirement to pay development contributions under the Scheme, or will be required to pay a reduced contribution:

• The first 40m2 of any residential extension, including granny flats, shall be exempt from the contribution scheme. All house extensions in excess of 40m2, including family or “granny” flats, shall be assessed at €125.90/m2 of residential development in respect of the portion exceeding 40m2.

• Primary schools, post primary schools, non-commercial community centres, youth centres, and similar non-commercial community related developments.

• Registered Charities.

• Social housing units, including those which are provided in accordance with an agreement made under Part V of the Act (as amended under the Planning & Development (Amendment) Act, 2002) or which are provided by a voluntary or co-operative housing body, which is recognised as such by the Council.

• Replacement dwellings or replacement commercial developments will be charged 50%.

• The non-built elements of recreational facilities (e.g. playing pitches, golf courses) will be exempt.

• Initial afforestation to be exempt from contributions.

Section 49

Section 49 of the Planning and Development Act, 2000 enables a Planning Authority when granting planning permission pursuant to Section 34 of the Act to attach a condition to a planning permission requiring payment of a financial contribution in respect of any public infrastructure service or project hereafter referred to as a “Supplementary Development Contribution Scheme” (SDCS).

The supplementary development levies payable are as follows (2008):

Residential: A contribution rate of €319,070 per gross site hectare.

Commercial: A contribution rate of €727,480 per gross site hectare.

The following developments are exempt from the SDC levy: house extensions; a granny flat where it is a condition that it be used as a family unit; public utilities i.e. schools, community centres, youth centres etc; organisations which have been granted exemptions from Income tax/Corporation Tax under the provisions of section 20 of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 and are currently in receipt of an exemption certificate. Large-scale recreational developments (e.g. golf courses, sports pitches, tennis complexes, etc.), excluding buildings and ancillary facilities, shall also be exempt from the supplementary development contribution levy.

The contribution shall be updated each year on 13 January during the life at the scheme at a fixed compound interest rate at 5% per annum.

Appendix K: GDDR Scheme - Optimal Route Layout Description (May 2006)The basic design philosophy adopted was the provision of roads that would allow traffic to/from the north and south of the Enniskerry Road to feed into one road (the GDDR) to facilitate access to/from the M50 and future development lands. The road hierarchy of this design would provide two single carriageway sections of road (the GDDR and the Link Road) feeding into a dual carriageway section of road (the mainline GDDR) closer to the Carrickmines Interchange.

The GDDR scheme requires two distinct cross section types along its length. They are that of a Two-Lane Single Carriageway and that of a Reduced Dual Carriageway. These cross sections include specific modifications to accommodate the provision of bus and traffic lanes in the future if required.

The junction strategy adopted in the design included four principal junctions between the GDDR scheme and the existing local road network with an additional key junction on the GDDR itself. The traffic impact and geometric requirements of each junction go together in the design process. The general traffic philosophy was the control of vehicles through the scheme. This was facilitated by the use of signal-controlled junctions throughout the scheme.

The proposed scheme option layout facilitates the development needs of the Glenamuck Road area allowing future development access to the distributer road at preferred access points. The Scheme provides restricted access to Kiltiernan

Village, thus removing the majority of unwanted through traffic and creating a naturally traffic calmed village. The scheme layout also requires a number of road closures (‘Cul de sacs’) on existing roads. These include:

• The existing Glenamuck Road is to be closed south of the existing roundabout junction to the south of the Carrickmines Interchange. The existing Glenamuck Road southern arm of the roundabout is to be removed from the junction as part of this Scheme.

• The existing Enniskerry Road will be closed south of Kiltiernan Village adjacent to the proposed tie-in with the GDDR Link Road.

• The existing Enniskerry Road at the northern tie-in to the GDDR single carriageway road.

• The existing Barnaslingan Lane will be closed south of Kiltiernan Village in close proximity to the proposed ‘cul-de-sac’ on the Enniskerry Road and adjacent to the proposed tie-in with the GDDR scheme.

The design has provided for public transport, pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure along the entire length of the GDDR scheme.

The scheme also considers future junction provision for development access and preferred points on the proposed road network are indicated. Careful consideration is also to be given to the tie-in between the GDDR scheme and the existing road network to ensure a safe transition between both road types and standards at detailed design stage.

(i) Cross Section Requirements

The GDDR requires two distinct cross sections along its length. They are that of a Reduced Dual Carriageway (Section A-A) and that of a Standard Two-Lane Carriageway (Section B-B). These cross sections will require specific modifications to

accommodate the provision of future bus lanes. The Link Road also requires two cross sections along its length namely that of two Standard Single Carriageways, Section B-B and Section C-C respectively. The required urban cross sections and total effective carriageway width are shown below in Table 1.

Four principal junctions between the GDDR scheme and the existing local road network are to be provided with an additional key junction on the GDDR itself. The following key junctions in the GDDR scheme have been designed, assessed and analysed:

• Junction 1 – Roundabout junction with the GDDR, Ballyogan Link Road and Glenamuck Road,

• Junction 3/9 – Signalised junction between the GDDR and the Link Roads,

• Junction 5 – Signalised junction between the Link Road and the existing Glenamuck Road,

• Junction 11 – Priority junction between the Link Road and the realigned Enniskerry Road, and

• Junction 12 – Signalised junction between the Link Road and Ballycorus Road.

Other junctions in the scheme which are likely to be development driven (i.e. will be designed and constructed subject to future development and planning applications on zoned lands) include the following:

• Junction 2 - Signalised junction north of Kilternan Village,

• Junction 6 - Signalised junction on the Link Road between Junction 5 and 12,

• Junction 3/9 - Signalised junction between the GDDR and the Link Road (additional junction arm),

• Junction 7 - Signalised junction on the Enniskerry Road between Junction 8 and 12,

• Junction 10 - Signalised junction on the GDDR between Junction 3/9 and 1,

• Junction 13 - Signalised junction on the existing Glenamuck Road between Junction 4 and 1, and

• Junction 14 - Junction on the existing Glenamuck Road between Junction 5 and 8.

The proposed junction strategy will meet the local objective of free flowing traffic with safe and strategically placed junctions to connect the GDDR and Link Road with the existing local road network and consequently minimising the provision of junctions on the network. Table 2 summarises the key junction types.

Recommended target design speeds are as follows:

Table 3: Road Name and Target Minimum Design Speed.

Road Name Target Design Speed

GDDR (Dual Carriageway Section) 85 kph

GDDR (Single Carriageway Section)

60 kph

Link Road (Single Carriageway) 60 kph

Kilternan Village (Enniskerry Road) 50 kph

(ii) Drainage and Receiving Waters

Three attenuation ponds are proposed as part of the GDDR Scheme and these are specifically designed and provided as a requirement for the GDDR Scheme. The road drainage provisions for attenuation (currently totalling approximately 7,000m3) may be combined with development attenuation provisions.

(iii) Road Signage and Public Lighting

Proper signage and adequate lighting are important aspects of major road schemes particularly on approach to junctions where driver confusion may occur. In urban areas, it is considered necessary to provide lighting over the full extent of new road links.The required road signage is recommended to be examined in more detail during the detailed design. Strategic direction signing is very important to ensure the most efficient route for the road user and to discourage alternative routes, which could lead to congestion within Kiltiernan Village. The signs will be designed in accordance with the ‘Traffic Signs Manual’ (1996) published by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and

Table 2: Summary of Key Junction Types on the GDDR Scheme

Local Government. It is envisaged all of the proposed signs will be accommodated within the land take for the Scheme.

Public Lighting is recommended to be provided in this Scheme at all key junctions, on the mainline GDDR and the Link Road. This is a safety requirement for users of the roadways and where provided, is done so to mandatory road safety and design standards.

(iv) Service Relocations

The disruption of utilities along the route has implications for the design and construction stages of road schemes as follows:

• It will be necessary to re-route sections of existing services, with connections back to the existing apparatus at the terminal points of these diversions,

• Provision must be made for any proposed additional services and/or extensions to existing networks where these works can be anticipated, and

• For existing services, it will be necessary to maintain existing services as far as possible during construction. This may entail temporary diversions of services and/or staging of the works in the construction phase.

(v) Boundary Treatments

The form of boundary treatment to be implemented should be appropriate to the adjacent landuse. Where agriculture is predominant, timber post and rail fencing is recommended, though the detail and exact form of fence may depend on the particular animals. Where gardens or property associated with dwellings is impacted upon, particular provisions may be as agreed between residents and DLRCC.

As development in the area proceeds, it is likely that boundary treatments will need to be amended to suit the particular developments taking place. Such amendments to the boundary treatments should be carefully considered as part of the planning process.

Particular boundary treatments may also be necessary to mitigate visual, noise and vibration impacts of the scheme. The recommendations of the Environmental Study should be followed in such situations.

(vi) Safety Audit

A Stage 1 Safety Audit will be carried out on the Scheme upon completion of the preliminary design. The Safety Audit will be carried out in accordance with the relevant sections of the NRA DMRB standard HD 19/01 and the draft National Road Safety Audit Guidelines published by the NRA.

(vii) Mobility Management Plans

The GDDR Study recommends that Mobility Management Plans (MMPs) be required for proposed developments in the

LAP area. (This is also in line with DLRCC policy.) Developments would include centres of employment, or existing centres where expansion/development is proposed, mixed use, leisure and other developments, and which DLRCC considers will have significant trip generation and attraction rates at peak hours or throughout the day, and where the utilisation of existing or proposed public transport may be employed to good effect.

In addition to requirement for MMPs at the planning stage, it is also recommended that the MMP’s be monitored following the development opening to ensure that the proposed targets and objectives are being met. Either the developer or DLRCC should complete this monitoring process on a yearly or semi-yearly basis. The monitoring process should be agreed prior to grant of planning permission. Consideration should also be given to the implementation of suitable penalties if targets are not met within an agreed timeframe.
