The assessment should be read in conjunction with the photomontages prepared for the scheme, and the landscape report also prepared by Jane McCorkell Landscapes. 1.1 Study Methodology This assessment is based on the following guidelines -: The EPA Draft ‘Guidelines on the information to be contained in Environmental Impact Assessment Reports’ (2017) and ‘Draft Advise Notes for preparing Environmental Impact Statements’ (2015) The assessment involved -: 1 Visiting the site and the surrounding area 2 A review of statutory planning and other documentation in order to ascertain local and wider significance 3 A study of ordnance survey mapping and aerial photography; a review of plans, sections and elevations of the proposed development and Part VIII Planning Scheme documentation Where appropriate and in accordance with the EPA Advise Notes and Guidelines the below table of terms are used to describe the degree, quality and duration of an impact -: Impact Criteria Description Profound An impact which obliterates sensitive characteristics Significant An impact which, by its character, magnitude, duration or intensity alters a sensitive aspect of the environment Moderate An impact that alters the character of the environment in a manner that is consistent with the existing and emerging needs Slight An impact which causes noticeable changes in character of the environment without affecting its sensitivities Imperceptible An impact capable of measurement but without noticeable consequences Terms relating to the duration of impacts as described in the EPA Guidelines are listed as follows: Momentary: lasting seconds to minutes Brief: lasting up to one day Temporary: lasting up to one year Short-term: lasting one to seven years Medium-term: lasting seven to fifteen years Long-term: lasting fifteen to sixty years Permanent: lasting over sixty years Proposed development Old School House, Porterstown Clonsilla, Dublin 15 3 Landscape and visulal impact assessment 1.2 References - Fingal Development Plan 2017—2023 - Environmental Protection Agency, (2017) Draft Guidelines on the information to be contained in Environmental impact Assessment Reports - Environmental Protection Agency, (2015) Draft Advice Notes for preparing Environmental Impact Statements - Landscape Institute (UK) and Institute for Environmental Management & Assessment (2013) Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment, 3rd Edition. 1.3 Nature of Impacts Impacts on the landscape arise in two distinct but closely related aspects. The first impact is on the character of the landscape arising from the insertion of new development or the alteration of elements within an existing context. The second aspect is visual impact, which arises as a result of changes or insertions within a view. The impact on the view depends on the degree and nature of the change and such changes may rise from either ‘visual intrusion’ (i.e. alteration without appreciable blocking) or ‘visual obstruction’ (i.e. alteration with a notable extent or full blocking). It is recognised that as with all landscape and visual considerations, impacts will be influenced and informed, to some degree, by subjective perceptions of how the overall change(s) matter to any given individual. The assessment of landscape and visual impacts includes: - Direct impacts upon specific landscape elements within and adjacent to the site - Effects of the overall pattern of the landscape elements which give rise to the character of the site and its surroundings - Impacts upon any special interests in and around the site - Direct impacts of the scheme upon views and - Overall impact on landscape character and visual amenity 2 Existing Receiving Environment 2.1 Site Context & Description The subject site is a linear parcel of land, located on the southern side of the Clonsilla Road. The 2.32 hectares is a long rectilinear space which is bound to the south by the Royal Canal. Extensive residential and infrastructural development has taken place in the surrounding lands Proposed development Old School House, Porterstown Clonsilla, Dublin 15 4 Landscape and visulal impact assessment over the last number of years. The site is well serviced by public transport in the form of train and bus routes, and is in close walking proximity to a number of schools and public amenities. The landscape character is agricultural lands surrounded by residential developments.

O’Neill By e-mailed to [email protected] Senior Executive Officer, Planning Department, Fingal County Council County Hall Swords Co. Dublin 5 December 2007 Dear Sirs, On behalf of DUBLIN 15 COMMUNITY COUNCIL I wish to make the following observations on the Clonsilla Village Urban Centre Strategy, DUBLIN 15. The area is bounded by the Clonsilla Road to the North, the Maynooth rail line to the South, Clonsilla rail station to the West and the Dr Troy Bridge to the East. The intent of the strategy is to create a realistic vision for the future enhancement of the vitality and viability of the Village as an Urban Centre within Dublin 15, providing a framework to guide the formulation of future development proposals. We have structured our submission to address the issues for investigation in the strategy: o Proposals for the co-ordinated development of greenfield sites and future infill development o Creation of a network of safe pedestrian and cyclist routes o Traffic management and car parking strategy for the village o Potential of the Royal Canal as a local amenity and preservation of existing local heritage o Creation of a network of public open spaces and an enhanced public realm and character within the Village Dublin 15 Community Council Page 1 of 8 1.0 Current situation: Clonsilla Village has grown organically over a long period of time, in comparison with the rest of Dublin 15.

Co. Dublin 27 May 2009 Submission on the Draft Conservation Management Plan for Phoenix Park Dear Commissioners of Public Works We would like to make the following submission on Conservation Management Plan for Phoenix Park – Consultation Draft. 1.0 Introduction The Dublin 15 Community Council was formed 15 years ago (merging the Castleknock & Blanchardstown community councils which date from the early 1970's) to provide an umbrella organisation for the many residents and voluntary community groups in the Dublin 15 area. Residents Associations and Community groups focus on their own specific areas but often feel powerless to influence the big issues like transport, educational, recreational & sporting infrastructure or crime prevention. The Community Council provides a forum to discuss these issues and potential solutions. Our main objective is to develop the consensus views of the Dublin 15 community in matters relating to Planning & Development, Public Transport, Environment, Education, Health Care, Policing, Job Creation, Recreational Facilities, General Infrastructure and Tourist facilities. Having developed the consensus, make representation to State and other Statutory Bodies through a wide variety of communication channels, with the aim of improving the quality of life for the residents of Dublin 15. Page 1 of 5 2.0 Major problems Blanchardstown was earmarked from the early seventies as one of County Dublin’s’ three new towns. It has been anticipated for the past twenty years that this area would eventually accommodate a population of circa 100,000 persons.

  • Archaeological Assessment at Diswellstown, Carpenterstown, Castleknock, Dublin 15
    ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT AT DISWELLSTOWN, CARPENTERSTOWN, CASTLEKNOCK, DUBLIN 15 ON BEHALF OF: GLENVEAGH HOMES LIMITED AUTHOR: JACQUI ANDERSON OCTOBER 2019 IAC PROJECT REF.: J3509 DOCUMENT CONTROL SHEET DATE DOCUMENT TITLE REV. PREPARED BY REVIEWED BY APPROVED BY Archaeological Assessment at 01.10.19 Diswellstown, Carpenterstown, 0 Jacqui Anderson Grace Corbett Faith Bailey Castleknock, Dublin 15 Diswellstown, Carpenterstown, Archaeological Assessment Castleknock, Dublin 15 ABSTRACT Irish Archaeological Consultancy Ltd has prepared this report on behalf of Glenveagh Homes Limited to study the impact, if any, on the archaeological and historical resource of the proposed development at Diswellstown, Carpenterstown, Castleknock, Dublin 15 (ITM 707740/736886). The report was undertaken by Jacqui Anderson of IAC Ltd. There are two recorded monuments within 500m of the site, a habitation site (DU017-010) and a holy well (DU017-011), c. 395m south and c. 445m southeast of the proposed development area respectively. Previous archaeological investigations in the environs of the proposed development area have revealed a prehistoric habitation site, which is now recorded in the RMP (DU017-010) and a number of isolated pits at another site, c. 340m east of the proposed development area. A field inspection carried out on the 12th August 2019, failed to identify any previously unknown features of archaeological potential. The development area contains a modern residence, outbuildings and a tennis court. It remains possible that ground disturbances associated with the proposed development may have an adverse impact on previously unrecorded archaeological features or deposits that have the potential to survive beneath the current ground level with no surface expression. This is possible within the open greenfield areas of the site.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.
