Wicklow Page | 1 Project Ireland 2040 in the Mid-East - 2019 Progress Report 1. Project Ireland 2040 This document sets out the projects and programmes which are being planned and delivered in the Mid-East as part of the public investment detailed in Project Ireland 2040 - the Government’s National Planning Framework and National Development Plan. Project Ireland 2040 set out ten National Strategic Outcomes (NSOs), built around the over-arching themes of well-being, equality and opportunity. This document sets out the main achievements under each NSO in 2019, for the Mid-East region. These documents serve to highlight the diverse range of investment being made by the State across the country under Project Ireland 2040 – a list of the major projects in the Mid-East is contained in the Appendix. The document draws on information from a wide range of publicly available sources, as well as material provided by Government Departments and Agencies. 2. The Mid-East and Project Ireland 2040 Area The Mid-East has experienced high levels of population growth in recent decades at more than twice the national growth rate. Managing the challenges of future growth is critical to this area. A more balanced and sustainable pattern of development, with a greater focus on addressing employment creation, local infrastructure needs and addressing the legacy of rapid growth, must be prioritised. Page | 2 Project Ireland 2040 in the Mid-East - 2019 Progress Report 3. Progress against National Strategic Outcomes 3.1 National Strategic Outcome 1 – Compact Growth This outcome aims to secure the sustainable growth of more compact urban and rural settlements supported by jobs, houses, services and amenities, rather than continued sprawl and unplanned, uneconomic growth. There were 1,079 social housing new builds in the Mid-East in 2019 with more planned in 2020. In line with the national increase in new houses being built, there were 4,648 new dwelling completions in the Mid-East in 2019.

In the Mid-East these include: Bray, Newbridge, Naas, Celbridge, Greystones, Leixlip, Maynooth, Arklow, Ashbourne, Laytown- Bettystown-Mornington, Wicklow and Trim. The URDF is a key part of Project Ireland 2040 and has a total budget of €2 billion over the period to 2027. The aim of the URDF is to stimulate new residential and commercial development in our larger cities and towns. New services and amenities will support these new developments, and help to achieve the ‘compact growth’ also set out in Project Ireland 2040. In total, 11 projects were approved for funding from the first call of the URDF in 2018. The second call closure for applications was extended to 29 May 2020 given the Covid-19 crisis.

    Archaeological Assessment at Naas Town Hall, Main Street, Naas County Kildare

    ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT AT NAAS TOWN HALL, MAIN STREET, NAAS COUNTY KILDARE LICENCE NUMBER: 18E0515 FOR: KILDARE COUNTY COUNCIL I.T.M.: 689221/719481 LICENCEE: DAVE BAYLEY NOVEMBER 2018 Naas Town Hall, Main Street, Archaeological Testing Naas, Co. Kildare Licence Number: 18E0515 ABSTRACT Irish Archaeological Consultancy Ltd has prepared this report on behalf of Kildare County Council, to study the impact, if any, on the archaeological and historical resource of the proposed redevelopment of the Naas Town Hall, which is located on Main Street, Naas, Co. Kildare (ITM 689221/719481). The testing was undertaken by David Bayley and Muireann Ní Cheallacháin of IAC Ltd under licence 18E0515. The proposed development area is located in the townland of Naas West, parish of Naas, and barony of Naas North. The eastern boundary of the site is on the townland boundary with Naas East, Main Street North. The proposed development area is within the zone of potential for the historic town of Naas (RMP KD019-030). The proposed development area contains the site of a recorded monument, the site of White Castle (KD019-030018). The existing town hall, which was formerly a gaol, is also listed within the Record of Protected Structures for Kildare (RPS NS 19-047) and the NIAH building survey (NIAH 11814041). Four site investigation test pits were excavated in the rear yard during June 2018, which were archaeologically monitored. One test trench and one test pit were excavated within the rear yard in October 2018. The works confirmed the presence of an overburden layer within the yard area and identified the footing of a stone and mortar wall to the immediate west of the town hall structure.

    Chief Executive’s Report On submissions/observations received to the Draft Naas Local Area Plan 2021 - 2027 Appendix 1: Summary of Submissions/Observations Received The submissions summarised in Appendix 1 exclude the following: • Submissions No. 1 to 12 inclusive. These submissions are from the Prescribed Authorities and are summarised in Section 3 of the Chief Executive’s Report. • Submissions that relate to the requests for the zoning of land. These submissions are summarised in Section 4 of the Chief Executive’s report and refer to the following submissions: 92, 118, 166, 210, 243, 245, 260, 298, 321, 335, 343, 344, 349, 355, 360, 446, 456, 467, 482, 504, 506, 508, 524, 548, 552, 594, 598, 615, 646, 656, 657, 658, 666, 667, 668, 675, 676, 678, 679, 680, 686, 694, 696. Sub. Name Summary of Submission No. 013 M Murphy The submission relates to Permeability Measure 63. The submission does not understand the need for this as there is already an entrance from the R445. The proposed pathway is approximately 50 meters from the existing one and serves no additional benefit to the community. Negative implications: • Health and safety risk for children to have another entrance\exit to busy road. • Security risk to the residence of the estate. • Creates a walk-through area where increased footfall will have a negative effect on the privacy and security of the residents. • Risk entrance will encourage loitering and anti-social behaviour. • Litter will increase from additional footfall. • Use of bicycles along a quiet walkway is a danger to people walking. Submission believes the proposal is a total waste of taxpayers’ money and could recommend several ways where the money could be better spent to improve the community.

Dates of Site Inspection : 08/05/14 and 15/05/14 Date of oral hearing : 3rd , 4 th and 6th of June 2014 Inspector : John Desmond HA0046 / MA0013 An Bord Pleanála Page 1 of 65 Part A 1.0 SITE DESCRIPTION 1.1 The application site, comprising those lands contained within the indicated boundary in drawings figure 1.2 ‘Proposed Scheme Layout’, of EIS Volume 3, can be best described in three sections. • The proposed Osberstown Interchange entails work along a c.1.6km length of the M7 extending west / southwest from the underbridge to the Grand Canal Naas line.
