Kildare. Given that the scheme contains over 100 dwelling units this application is being made directly to An Bord Pleanála under the Strategic Housing Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Act 2016. The purpose of this report is to describe the planning context including receiving environment, planning history, outline the proposed development and demonstrate how the proposal is consistent with the relevant s.28 planning guidelines and local policies and objectives (statement of consistency). The lands in question (12.68 hectares) are predominantly zoned ‘New Residential’ (10.74 hectares) with approximately 1.93 hectares zoned for ‘Open Space/Amenity’ at the north end. The lands are under freehold ownership of the applicant. Additional lands owned by Kildare County Council (measuring 0.25 hectares) are included within the red line boundary of the application site (12.93 hectares) as they are required to facilitate access. The lands are generally flat and are greenfield in nature, with the current use being for agriculture (pastoral). The lands are largely free of any constraints, apart from internal hedgerows. There is a stream along the southern boundary, known as Kilwoghan Stream1. 1 The spelling of Kilwoghan Stream is based on OPW Eastern CFRAM Study HA09 Hydraulic Report from 2015 (for the Celbridge and Hazelhatch areas) and is different from the spelling of Kilwogan Lane. 5 David Mulcahy Planning Consultants Ltd The applicants are experienced developers some of whom live in Celbridge and have carried out significant housing developments in the town previously. They aim to provide a high-quality housing scheme that will represent a significant positive contribution to Celbridge town providing options for a variety of households. For clarity this report addresses: • Statement of Consistency with development plan, local area plan and s.28 Ministerial Guidelines (s5.0 and s.6.0) • Material Contravention Statement (s.6.3.3) • Housing Mix Statement (s.6.1.3) 6 David Mulcahy Planning Consultants Ltd 2.0 SITE LOCATION & DESCRIPTION 2.1 Location The subject lands are located to the north of Celbridge town in the Townland of Crodaun. Specifically, the lands are located west of the Maynooth Rd (R405) and north of Kilwoghan Stream (which runs to the north of Kilwogan Lane) see Fig Nos. 1 and 2 below.

The site is comprised of 3 no. vacant fields divided by hedgerows. The quality of these dividing hedgerows has found to be of a poor quality following a site inspection by an arborist – please refer to the arboricultural impact report prepared by The Tree File Ltd. The site contains a number of ESB overhead wires and associated support poles. There is a small stream running along the southern boundary of the site (Kilwoghan Stream). There is woodland thicket/regenerative scrub either side of the stream. 2 Net of the lands in the ownership of Kildare Co. Co. to the east of the site (0.25Ha). 8 David Mulcahy Planning Consultants Ltd The eastern boundary of the site is defined by a row of mature trees at the south end. The remainder of this boundary is defined by fencing. The western boundary of the site is defined by a mature hedgerow, including some mature specimen trees (oak). The site has extensive frontage onto the adjoining public road (Maynooth Road, R405) to the east which is within the 50kph posted speed limit.

The red line boundary of the application also includes lands in the ownership of Kildare County Council as works are proposed to the Maynooth Road (0.25Ha) in order to facilitate access. A letter of consent from the council is included with the application. 2.4 Adjoining Lands & Land Uses in the Vicinity North The M4 Business Park is located to the north of the site on the opposite side of the roundabout junction. A temporary Educate Together post primary school (Celbridge Community School) is located opposite Salesian College. 12 David Mulcahy Planning Consultants Ltd West There is a large post primary school located to the north west of the site – Salesian College. The school caters for boys and has an enrolment of 700+ pupils. There are agricultural fields situated to the west of the site. South There is a narrow strip of land to the south of the subject site. This strip of land is in third party ownership and therefore is outside the legal interest of the applicant. This strip of land fronts onto Kilwogan Lane (L5054), a relatively narrow road with no road markings or footpaths. Kilowgan Lane provides access to agricultural lands west of the subject site. There is mature residential housing to the south side of Kilwogan Lane (‘Castle Village’ and ‘Thornhill Court’). Thornhill is a two storey apartment complex. East The R405 Regional Road (Maynooth Road) runs along the east side of the site. There is a strip of lands owned by Kildare County Council between the subject site and this road at the northern end of the site. There is a dedicated cycle lane and public footpath on the west side of the Maynooth Road where the site is situated.

    ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF LANDS IN THE TOWNLANDS OF COMMONS WEST, BOYCETOWN AND KILCOCK (ADJACENT TO THE EXISTING BRAYTON PARK ESTATE), KILCOCK, COUNTY KILDARE ON BEHALF OF: RYCROFT HOMES LIMITED CASE REF.: ABP-302746-18 AUTHOR: ROSS WATERS DECEMBER 2019 IAC PROJECT REF.: J3417 Kilcock SHD, Archaeological Assessment Co. Kildare DOCUMENT CONTROL SHEET DATE DOCUMENT TITLE REV. PREPARED BY REVIEWED BY APPROVED BY Archaeological Assessment of 16.12.19 1 Ross Waters Grace Corbett Faith Bailey Kilcock SHD Co. Kildare i IRISH ARCHAEOLOGICAL CONSULTANCY LTD Kilcock SHD, Archaeological Assessment Co. Kildare ABSTRACT Irish Archaeological Consultancy Ltd has prepared this report on behalf of Rycroft Homes Limited, to study the impact, if any, on the archaeological and historical resource of the proposed strategic housing development at lands in the townlands of Commons West, Boycetown and Kilcock (adjacent to the existing Brayton Park estate), Kilcock, County Kildare (ITM 687736/739821). The report was undertaken by Ross Waters of IAC Ltd. There are no recorded monuments within the proposed development, the closest is a bawn (KD005-019) situated c. 440m to the southwest. The Pale ditch is thought to have traversed the landscape to the south, west and northwest of the town of Kilcock. Although its route is unconfirmed, there is potential that it may have crossed the north east side of the site. The only archaeological discovery from previous investigations in the surrounding area was of two pits, one of which contained burnt bone, c. 285m to the north. The proposed development lay across a series of open fields throughout the post-medieval period, situated in a rural landscape on the periphery of Kilcock.

PLANNING APPLICATION Planning Authority: Meath County Council Planning Authority Reg. No: RA150188 Applicant: Alcove Ireland Two Limited Application Type: Permission Planning Authority Decision: Refusal APPEAL Appellant: Alcove Ireland Two Limited Types of Appeal: 1st Party -v- Refusal Observer: Christina Farrell DATE OF SITE INSPECTION: 27th April, 2016. INSPECTOR: Paul Caprani PL17.246143 An Bord Pleanála Page 1 of 40 1.0 INTRODUCTION PL17.246143 relates to a first party appeal against the decision of Meath County Council to issue notification to refuse planning permission for the construction of a residential development comprising of 200 residential units (later revised to 223 units), a crèche facility and associated car parking in the townland of Newtownmoyaghy, Kilcock, County Meath. Meath County Council refused planning permission on the grounds that it contravened a number of objectives contained in the Meath County Development Plan in relation to household allocation and also failing to accommodate a school site as part of the overall layout. It was concluded therefore that the proposed development would materially contravene the Meath County Development Plan 2013-2019. The application was accompanied by an EIS and an NIS. The Board should note that there is a concurrent application and appeal located on the adjoining site to the east which also relates to residential development. Under this application Meath County Council granted planning permission for the construction of 150 dwellings and this decision was the subject of a third party appeal expressing concerns that the proposed development would give rise to flooding issues and that the flood risk assessment carried out in respect of the proposed development was flawed.

  • 0050 Mike and Angela Parle
    Dear Minister, I refer to your recent launch of the above new plan, backed by cabinet. I am responding to your invitation to make a formal submission. If your plan fails to gain traction, this recent article summarises the resulting damage that will be done to Ireland and its citizens: http://www.independent.ie/business/irish/how-dublin-is-eating-ireland-35417250.html. The author opines "Obviously, the massive overcrowding in this baby belt was undermining the quality of lives for those on the East Coast, in particular, commuters. And with over 50% of the entire economic activity of the country, this swollen part of the country was draining potential commercial opportunities from the rest of the country." "If we do nothing and allow the market to determine the next 25 years, this part of Ireland will become unpleasant, angry and unstable. Now this is real dystopia." "In contrast, what was termed “Rural Ireland” will become “Empty Ireland”, pretty but desolate, a theme park for tourists trying to find the “Real Ireland”. It will be a bit like a giant famine village — an abandoned place, which used to be thriving but is now silent." It is forecasted that unless radical action is taken, some 75% of the projected population and new homes will be clustered around the capital city by 2040. Thus creating a potential community disaster for villages like Leixlip in North Kildare. Based on our own experience we in Leixlip would agree that "This will further exacerbate massive and increasingly unmanageable sprawl of housing areas, scattered employment and car-based commuting, presenting major challenges around lop-sided development, under-utilised potential, congestion and adverse impacts on people’s lives and the environment.” In addition, efficiciency and effectiveness of Irish development will regress and result in higher costs and poor value for taxpayer investment.
