INTRODUCTION O’Connor Sutton Cronin & Associates (OCSC) have been commissioned to prepare this plan with respect to the proposed development on Eglinton Road, Donnybrook, Dublin 4. The exact site location can be seen in Figure 1 below. Site Location Figure 1: Site Location The proposed development will consist of the demolition of 6 no. houses and ancillary structures on site, and the construction of a residential development of two connected apartment blocks of 148 no. apartments, rising in height from 3 storeys to 12 storeys over basement, on a site of 0.38 hectares. This plan is being prepared as a transportation demand management tool for the site. This will have the aim of reducing car use by the residents at the site, by increasing the attractiveness and practicality of other modes of transport and by reducing the need to travel. 1 O’Connor Sutton Cronin & Associates Eglinton Road Residential Development Multidisciplinary Consulting Engineers Mobility Management Plan The MMP targets set out herein will take account of future potential improvements in sustainable transport infrastructure over and above those currently in operation. In this context, the MMP will set targets into the future which will be flexible and reflective of the maximum achievable modal split at any time dependent on a variety of factors including actual local infrastructure and other facilities available. 2 O’Connor Sutton Cronin & Associates Eglinton Road Residential Development Multidisciplinary Consulting Engineers Mobility Management Plan 2. CONTENT OF THE TRAVEL PLAN The Dublin City Council Development Plan 2016 – 2022 provides guidance for the provision and requirements of plans such as this. In the instance where the occupier is unknown and the development is not existing, as is the case with this development, the applicant is requested to meet the following requirements: Submit an estimate of the numbers of residents and their characteristics based on, for example, conditions at similar developments and the extent and floor area types (uses) to be provided; Provide a comprehensive outline of public transport services (existing and proposed) available to the future residents; Prepare a conceptual plan indicating proposed links (footpaths, traffic routes) from the development to the public transport services – the plan would clearly show the positioning of the building(s) relative to the site boundary and access roads/links; Prepare a statement on the nature and extent of facilities that will be considered for provision, and that would serve to encourage walking and cycling; Set out the anticipated targets with respect to modal choice; Provide an outline of the various schemes that may be appropriate to facilitate a change in travel patterns to and from work. Thus, based on the above, this report is a statement of the broad objectives in respect of Mobility Management for the site as a whole. The plan sets out targets and objectives along with the mechanisms, including both hard and soft measures, which could be put in place to support modal shift. At this stage, the plan is intended to be preliminary and will be revised accordingly once more detailed information regarding the final occupiers becomes available. Moving forward from this, the plan will continue to be regularly updated based on experience gained from its implementation and operation. Reviews will also be held on a regular basis in consultation with resident representatives. 3 O’Connor Sutton Cronin & Associates Eglinton Road Residential Development Multidisciplinary Consulting Engineers Mobility Management Plan 3.
