 Spectators of the sport should have access to accessible toilet facilities and every part of the sports facility and should be no more than 40m from an accessible toilet

 Scale of changing facilities should also be clearly considered in the context of other water based events that would benefit from use of the quayside buildings

 Attention should be paid to all access points onto and off the water – junction between River Liffey and White water needs to be given particular attention from a universal design perspective and attention should be paid to providing visual contrast at level changes and the water’s edge.

 Need to address both conservation and accessibility needs in an integrated and balanced manner- conservation of Georges Dock as a protected structure and the application of universal design principles

 Welcome engagement process as Part of the Part 8 process and recommend further engagement

CARA

 Need proposal to comply with universal design requirements in accordance with 2018 Guidance Document “Great Outdoors, A Guide for Accessibility”.

 Building occupied by School of Computer Science & Statistics and Electronic and Electrical Engineering

 Supportive of proposal

 Concerns in relation to risk of vibration from operation of pumps impacting on use of laboraties at basement level – could be mitigated by properly considered foundation design and mounting arrangements for pumps

 That access to the building be unrestricted during construction works.

Submissions raising points of Objection

The following provides a summary of the main points of objection raised within submissions.

Page 25

 Rowing and Kayaking should be supported in the Liffey. Untrue to state that the sport will provide an anchor facility for all water sports and leisure activities along the Liffey. No evidence of support and collaboration from DCC and people who use the Liffey

 Justification for the proposal – Inappropriate location, River Liffey needs resources and historic infrastructure crumbling

 No requirement for the proposal, not right for the location and waste of money

 Dock currently used as recreational space, Proposal would deprive the plaza of its relatively peaceful nature. Project commercialises the pedestrian space and increases noise and stress of an already noisy and stressful city

 Need for market space and open space in the City

 Open water swimming complex would be far more appropriate and costly for City

 Costs associated with the project- no economic analysis on the viability of the project undertaken. Complexity of the proposal will lead to long term costs for the Council – maintenance and operation of water pump and filtration

Dublin Fire Brigade

A report has been received from Dublin Fire Brigade in support of the application. Dublin Fire Brigade support the Part 8 proposal on the basis of the excellent design and engineering capabilities of the proposed George’s Dock facility to meet Dublin City Council’s, Dublin Fire Brigade’s and multiple other emergency services training needs.

Members of the Fire Brigade visited a site assessment of the White Water Rescue Centre in the New York State preparedness Training Centre in order to ensure the effectiveness and compatibility of this facility with the water rescue requirements of a similar planned project in Georges Dock. The assessment carried out was on the basis of the ability of the proposed centre to meet the requirements of the practical elements of the Rescue 3 International Swift Water Rescue and Flood Management Course syllabi and other Flood Responder, Boat

Page 27

Handling and High Line Rescue training courses and exercises held under the direction of the Dublin Fire Brigade Water Rescue Training Programme.

The submission concludes the following in respect of the proposal:

In conclusion the overall perception of both of the Dublin Fire Brigade assessors was that the NY State facility and hence the proposed similar Dublin facility, is and will be an excellent water rescue training site, with multiple features and configurations facilitating the effective and safe execution of all water rescue syllabus requirements. The assessors best expectations on all aspects of the facility, particularly in relation to safety, where met and surpassed.

It is Dublin Fire Brigade’s recommendation that such a water rescue facility would be a unique and valuable asset to the Dublin and national Fire and Emergency Services, in addition to all other emergency services, and these water rescue aspects and features should be considered for inclusion in any proposal for a White Water Centre in Dublin.

Both assessors would have no reservations in recommending the design capabilities, engineering skills, professionalism and quality assurance of the designers to design and deliver a product meeting all facility requirements and quality expectations.

North Lotts and Grand Canal Dock SDZ- Water Animation Strategy 2018

The Water Animation Strategy is a non-statutory companion document to the North Lotts and Grand Canal Dock SDZ Planning Scheme. The following Vision statement is set out within the strategy – “To promote the use of the waterways as an integral part of the vitality and experience of Dublin Docklands, that enhances the area as a world class destination for living, doing business, tourism, leisure and cultural activities”.

The Strategy sets out the following description of Georges Dock:

Georges Dock

Development around the Dock is well established. Key developments such as the IFSC and CHQ building, are major activity generators. The Outer Dock is highly accessible and has in recent times contained an event platform for holding markets and festivals. The Inner Dock is quiet space that is residential in character and is an amenity setting for surrounding developments. The Outer Dock contains a large pontoon which is used for events such as Oktoberfest. Dublin Fire Bridge (who currently use the Liffey for training purposes) are also seeking to use the dock for further training purposes. The Inner Dock is not actively utilised.

Georges Dock indicated as an active zone with sports based use within the Strategy. The following key objectives are set out within the strategy which are of relevance to the proposal:

Page 33

2. To facilitate a range of leisure, cultural and commercial activates that increase the level of engagement with the water.

3. To compliment and add to the number of attractions in the Docklands and increase the number of tourists visiting the area each year.

4. To enable desirable existing uses to continue and where possible expand and promote new uses that enhance the enjoyment of the waterways.

5. To work with and support local water sports and recreation clubs (e.g. rowing clubs) and other voluntary and community organisations utilise the water and to assist in the provision of new facilitates to enable this.

As part of the implementation of the strategy DCC planned actions for 2018-2022 in partnership with Waterways Ireland, Dublin port Company and Irish Water include the detailed design of new water sport training facilities at Georges Dock and Custom House Quay.

Planning Assessment

Development Description

A detailed description of the proposed development is set out earlier in this report. In brief the proposal comprises of the following key elements:

 Works to Georges Docks – to provide a white water rafting course within the existing Dock;  Works to the surrounding area – including provision of new plant rooms building housing the mechanical control centre and the ESB sub station;

Page 34

 Demolition of existing DDDA office buildings and construction of proposed new Quayside Buildings;  Conservation and protection works to the quay walls;

Proposed Whitewater facility

The Architect’s report submitted in conjunction with the application outlines that the proposed white-water course is designed for general water sports use and for occasional competition events. The arrangement of the course and its support accommodation will provide for the needs of canoe and kayak club members as well as for elite training. A rafting session varies from one and a half hours to two hours duration and includes orientation and 5 or 6 laps of the course.

The facility will operate on a booking system, and therefore bookings will be scheduled in advance and participants will arrive by appointment. This phasing of users will help control the number of visitors arriving at any one time. The application documents also states that participants arriving by mini-bus will use the drop-off area provided along the quays.

The proposed scheme comprises the construction of a new concrete liner and island inserted into the historic George’s Dock, a Protected Structure, to create a new White Water Rafting Course with a reorganised public plaza and all associated works. A new single-storey plant room serving the centre shall be constructed adjacent to the Triumphal Arch and lock on the Public Plaza.

At present the existing Dock is underutilised and in a state of disrepair. The provision of an active use and associated repairs to the Dock is supported by the planning authority.

The proposed use is in accordance with the zoning objectives pertaining to the site wherein Water- based recreational and cultural activities is permitted in principle under Z11 zoning objective and cultural and recreational building and uses is “open for consideration” on Z9 zoning. The Dock has furthermore been used previously for hosting events such as Oktoberfest and Christmas Markets.

The provision of active recreational use is compliant with and actively encouraged by Section 4.5.1.2 and Policies SC4, GI10 and G113 of the Dublin City Development Plan. As detailed within the submissions on the application the proposal has the potential to serve the needs of the City but also provide for a world class recreational and training facility for the Country.

Page 35

The principle of the proposed active recreational use is in accordance with zoning objectives pertaining to the site. The impact of the proposed works to facilitate the adaption of Georges Dock to accommodate the proposal is assessed in the later sections of this report.

Proposed Demolition of Existing Quayside Building

The proposed development comprises of the demolition of the existing quayside office building to accommodate new quayside buildings. The existing quayside building comprises c.983 sq.m. of single storey office use. The building has an enclosed yard at the East where off street parking is provided. The building over sails the quay and prevents access to the river edge.

The application documentation outlines that the adaptation of this building was considered by the design team. However it was considered that it was unfeasible to adapt it to the requirements of the proposal. The proposed development therefore comprises the demolition of the existing building.

The planning authority has no objection to the proposed demolition of the building which does not provide active frontage to the Liffey, prevents access and views from the River edge and contributes little to the visual amenity of the Conservation Area.

Proposed Quayside Buildings

The proposed development includes the construction of 2 no. quayside buildings namely building east and building west and associated plant room and kayak storage building. The buildings have a combined total floor area of 763.98 m2 and maximum height of 5.5m. Building West comprises of replacement DCC offices and Building East accommodates water support facilities for the development. The provision of cultural and recreational building and uses is “open for consideration” on Z9 zoning objective pertaining to the quayside area of the site. Building West will accommodate replacement of the established office use currently provided within the existing building on site.

Building East comprises of water sports accommodation associated with the White Rafting Centre including – foyer and reception/ticketing area, shop for wetsuit hire and equipment hire

Page 36

and sales, visitor orientation changing room etc. This building will be the first points of contact for visitors to the facility. Orientation will be undertaken on the pontoon in the river and from there visitors will enter the White water course via kayak/canoe.

The proposal includes a yard to support a range of dockside activities including water tours and other water space activities currently operating on the Liffey.

The buildings are separated by a sheltered courtyard that opens to the quays and allows views upstream and downstream. The buildings are set back from the quay wall and facilitate access to the river edge.

In design terms the Quayside buildings are modelled on maritime shed-type buildings similar to those which occupied the Liffey Quays in the past. Section 5 of the Architects Report prepared by Urban Agency provides the following description of the proposed materials for the quayside buildings and plant rooms.

 Quayside Buildings - External walls: standing seam or similar, aluminium panels, metal louvres, render, concrete plinth finish.  Plant room- Standing seam or similar, aluminium panels, metal louvers, render with feature external signage and architectural graphics of Docklands history and White water Course information.

The replacement of the existing DCC office building with modern contemporary buildings is supported by the planning authority. The provision of 2 no. modern buildings with enhanced public realm will provide an active frontage and allow for the animation of the Liffey. Final details of materials for the proposed quayside buildings should be subject to written agreement with the planning department.

Assessment of Works Proposed

As detailed above, the policies and objectives of the City Development Plan are supportive of the principle of active recreational use along the River Liffey. In this regard the proposal has the potential to act as a catalyst for tourism and active recreational uses at this location.

The following section of this report considers the impact of the proposal on the receiving environment both in terms of the physical works to Georges Dock, a protected structure, the visual impact of the proposal on the character and setting of the Conservation Area and the

Page 37

impact on the wider receiving environment in terms of traffic impact, archaeology, noise and flood risk,drainage.

The development is assessed under the following headings in this regard.

 Impact of proposed works on Protected Structure  Visual Impact  Archaeology  Noise Impact  Traffic Impact  Flood Risk and Drainage

Impact of proposed works on Protected Structure

Georges Dock is a Protected Structure RPS 3173. The Dock is described as follows within the Record of Protected Structures set out within Volume 4 of the City Development Plan “Limestone ashlar dock walls with granite copings, granite and cast iron bollards, steps, lock gates, cast iron mooring rings, ladders and winches”.

The proposed works to the protected structure has been assessed in line the guidance set out within Chapter 11 of the Dublin City Development Plan 2016-22022 including Policies CHC1 and CHC2.

A Conservation Report prepared by Howley Hayes Architects is submitted in conjunction with the application. This sets out a review of the condition of Georges Dock, an assessment of its significance and a review of the impact of the proposal. The report concludes the following in this regard:

The significance of the dock lies chiefly in its historical, architectural and technical merit as an integral part of the development of Custom House quay, and as an example of early nineteenth century maritime engineering on the north Dublin quayside.

Georges Dock will not be brought back to its original use, as an active wet dock, and instead will continue to function as a water basin or similar in the future.

Page 38

All proposals should be fully reversible and not detract from the form and shape of the dock, nor impinge on or over-sail the dock walls.

The proposed use, a white water rafting facility, is considered appropriate as it will reactivate the dock with a water based activity….

Two new buildings are proposed on the north quay of the Liffey, in place of existing Dublin City Council office, which is of poor architectural merit, and detracts from the quayside. The proposals for two new contemporary structures, will be designed to an appropriate arrangement and scale. An open area between both buildings provides views and access to the edge of the quay wall and the new buildings will not over-sail the quay side”.

A report has been received from the Conservation Officer in respect of the proposal. This outlines the following in respect of the proposal:

“The proposed scheme comprises the construction of a new concrete liner and island inserted into the historic George’s Dock to create a new White Water Rafting Course with a reorganised public plaza and new quayside visitor centre and all associated works. A new single-storey plant room serving the centre shall be constructed adjacent to the Triumphal Arch and lock on the Public Plaza. The proposed intervention is significant.

The previous partial infilling of the historic dock c.1997 is regrettable in terms of the impacts on architectural conservation and has had an adverse direct and visual impact on the historic dock. The pontoon inserted into the dock at this time is currently disused and unsightly and its proposed removal will have a beneficial impact on the setting of the protected structure.

The execution of a comprehensive drawn and photographic survey of the dock walls with the input of a Conservation Expert following the draining of the dock has informed the proposed conservation repair strategy for the historic stonework that is visible above the modern hardcore backfill.

The proposed new quayside visitor centre buildings facilitates public access along the quayside, unlike the existing buildings. This will be a positive contribution to the animation of the area”.

Page 39

The Conservation Officer’s report concludes the following in respect of the proposal:

The proposed reanimation of George’s Dock by the new White Water Rafting Centre is supported in principle, as is the proposed replacement of the existing former Dublin Dockland’s Authority Offices on Custom House Quay which are of little architectural interest, on the basis of the reversibility of the proposed works and the conservation gain that will arise with the conservation repairs to the historic stonework, lock gates and other associated features and paving at George’s Dock and Custom House Quay.

Visual Impact

The visual impact of the proposed development is considered in the context of the current development on site. George’s Dock and the quays on both sides of the River Liffey are part of a Conservation Area designated in the Dublin City Development Plan 2016-2022 (indicated by the red hatched area on Map E). Policy CHC4 of the City Development Plan as cited within the planning history section of this report relates to development within Conservation Areas.

At present Georges Dock is maintained as a dry basin and visually detracts from the character of the area. This point is noted in a number of submissions on the application.

The visual impact of the proposed white water rafting facility is addressed within section 5.5.12 of the EIA Screening Report. This outlines that public realm around the proposed white-water rafting structure will be substantially the same and in this regard no visual impact is envisaged. In response to this, it is noted that the proposed development includes a plant room within the plaza area associated with the operation of the White water facility. Details of materials of the plant room should be submitted for written agreement of the planning authority.

The Visual Impact Assessment furthermore addresses the visual impact of the proposed structure within the basin and the creation of channels within the basin for water sports. In this regard it is stated that the proposed artificial structures for training will be permanently visible and the built channels will only be intermittently visible when the white water generating machinery is switched off and the water subsides. It is stated that this general coincides with the surrounding office blocks and commercial properties not being in use (i.e. outside office hours). It is furthermore noted that no residential properties are located in the vicinity of the basin. The provision of an active leisure use within the Dock and associated repair of the Dock is supported in principle. On the basis of the above it is considered that the proposed White water training facility will not have a negative impact on the visual amenity of the area. Final

Page 40

details of the materials of the proposed “mock up” structures should be submitted for written agreement with the planning authority.

The replacement of the existing DCC office building with modern contemporary buildings is supported by the planning authority. The existing building at this location is of low architectural merit, contributes little to the character of the Conservation Area in which it is located and provides a poor vista when viewed from the Liffey. The building currently over sails the Liffey and restricts access to the River edge.

The provision of 2 no. modern buildings with enhanced public realm will provide an active frontage and allow for the animation of the Liffey. It is considered that vistas from River and surrounding area will be significantly improved as a result of the proposal as the proposed buildings will provide a positive aesthetic to the quayside. Final detail of materials for the proposed quayside buildings and associated plant room and Kayak storage unit should be subject to written agreement with the planning authority.

Archaeology

The development is located within a Zone of Archaeological Interest as identified within Map E of the City Development Plan.

The Part VIII application documentation outlines that minimal groundworks are associated with the proposed development. It is stated that the area of the proposed quayside buildings has been previously significantly disturbed by the construction of the existing building on site.

The application has been reviewed by the City Archaeologist. The report received outlines the following in respect of the proposal:

It is noted that the proposed development is partially within the Zone of Archaeological Constraint for the Recorded Monument DU018-020 (Dublin City) which is listed on the Record of Monuments and Places (RMP) and is subject to statutory protection under Section 12 of the National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994. Further, the site in question is located partially within the Zone of Archaeological Interest in the Dublin City Development 2016-22

Page 41

The proposed site is one of archaeological potential. The dredging of the fill of the dock has the potential to remove subsurface maritime archaeological features within the intertidal estuarine silts and gravels, such as shipwrecks. It should be noted that wrecks over 100 years old and archaeological objects underwater, irrespective of their age or location, are protected under Section 3 of the National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1987

Medieval/prehistoric archaeological features may also survive within the silt fills in the dock. Later Mesolithic fishtraps (c. 6000 BC) were found during the construction of the Convention Centre on the North Quays (c. 500m east of proposed site) during an excavation to -3.5m OD (McQuade, M. 2007. Final report of Archaeological Excavation National Conference Centre Spencer Dock North Wall Quay Dublin 1. Unpublished report for MGL).

The industrial archaeological legacy of George’s Dock and Custom House Quay is of significance. There are 18.listed structures on the Dublin City Industrial Heritage Record (DCIHR) in the immediate vicinity of and including George’s Dock. These include George’s Dock - Ref. 18 07 101, Lessee’s Office (Harbourmaster) – Ref. 18 07 105, Inner Dock – Ref. 18 07 002, Sea Lock – 18 11 154, Sugar Store – 18 11 191 and Bonded Stores (CHQ) 18 12 002.

The proposed construction of the new quayside buildings will be undertaken on the campshires along Custom House Quay. The subject site is within within the Zone of Archaeological Constraint for the Recorded Monument DU018-020 (Dublin City) (subject to the protection listed above) and the quay is listed on the Sites and Monuments Record compiled by the National Monuments service (Ref. No. DU018-020564). The proposed site of the buildings may include subsurface archaeological features associated with earlier quaysides and industrial features associated with the maritime heritage of the area.

The recommendations of the City Archaeologist including the submission of an Archaeology Impact Assessment are attached.

Noise Assessment:

A noise report prepared by Patrick Parsons is submitted in conjunction with the subject application. The report identifies that the sound of water entering the course will be the main source of noise from the development, the sound of pumps operating will not be audible above the noise of the water.

Page 42

Activity based noise sources as identified within the report include the following:

 Operation of course – first session of the day will bring into use the pumping station to send water around the white water course and also the water treatment system;  Elite Training Sessions – 8am to 10am- training facilities for elite users – low level of noise from these experienced users;  Rafting and General Kayaking - 10am to 9pm daily- typically run in 2 hour slots-noise envisaged from these users;  Rescue Training - Training would typically take place during course hours but would not continue being 10pm-Low levels of noise envisaged – some instructions are likely to be shouted during training sessions;  Quayside buildings – unlikely to generate any significant noise on the surrounding area;

The report identifies the existing receiving environment is not a noise sensitive environment. The nearest residential buildings are apartments which are approximately 105m to the north of Georges Dock at Custom House Harbour within the Inner Dock. The Hilton Garden Inn Hotel is 80m to the east of Georges Dock and the Trinity College Building (Stack B) is a potential noise receptor. The report identifies that the predominant use surrounding the application site is office which is not a noise sensitive use. Georges Dock has previously been used as the venue for Oktober Fest and the Christmas Fair.

The report concludes the following in respect of noise impact:

“It has been demonstrated that the development site is not within a noise sensitive area.

The main source of noise that will be generated by the development will be the sound of the water being pumped into and around the course but as demonstrated at a similar course, this noise, beyond 50m away from the discharge point, was not audible above background road traffic noise.

There are a number of existing late night activities in the area dominating the evening noise regime which will be in operation long after the 10pm closing time of the proposed water course”.

On the basis of the above no sound attenuation is proposed. The noise report outlines that a further detailed Acoustic Assessment Report is commissioned to identify mitigation methods for the operational phase of the facility.

Page 43

The noise report has been subject to assessment by the Air Quality Monitoring and Noise Control Unit in DCC. The following assessment is set out in this regard:

The Acoustic Consultant’s report written by Patrick Parsons dated May 2019 concludes that the development will not impact occupiers of noise sensitive residential premises in the area. This conclusion is based on the existing background noise levels, the noise levels that will be generated and the fact that the nearest noise sensitive residential dwelling is 105 meters away. The nearest noise sensitive commercial premises is not identified in the report.

No sound attenuation such as building acoustic screens is proposed for this reason. Mitigation measures are not proposed. It is recommended in the report that a further study and report is required to fully address what noise control measures may be required.

If a further report is sought the following must be addressed in the report.

The nearest noise sensitive premises must be identified including occupied commercial buildings. The impact the development and use will have on the occupiers must be established.

Remedial measures must be proposed including the use of a noise minimisation plan. The plan must be written by the developer and approved by the Planning Department of Dublin City Council. The plan must be developed and written to minimise noise associated with the use and ensure occupiers of noise sensitive premises in the area are not unduly impacted”.

This recommendation is attached below.

Flood Risk Assessment and Drainage Strategy

A Flood Risk Assessment and Drainage Strategy prepared by Patrick Parsons is submitted in conjunction with the application. The EIA Screening Report prepared by Cunnane Stratton Reynolds furthermore outlines the following in respect of Water and Services Facilities.

Page 44

 Any interaction of the development with the adjoining River Liffey is small scale and confined to surface water drainage of the quayside buildings.

 The potable water of the George’s Dock basin and salt water of the River Liffey will continue to be separated by the existing concrete structure present in situ.

 Upon the original fil of the Dock basin work supplementation will be relatively minor due to water treatment and evaporation.

 Thereafter water demand will be managed with agreement from Irish Water and once the initial fill has been completed, any necessary water supplementing will be minimised through the use of the integrated water treatment plant.

The application has been informed by and reviewed by the Drainage Division of Dublin City Council. No objection to the proposed development is raised by the Drainage division subject to compliance with recommendations which are attached to this report.

It is noted that pre application consultation has also been undertaken with Irish Water in respect of the proposal. Correspondence from Irish Water is attached Appendix N of the Flood Risk Assessment and Drainage Strategy submitted in conjunction with the application. This outlines the following in respect of the proposal:

“subject to a valid connection agreement being put in place, your proposed connection to Irish Water networks can be facilitated”.

Traffic Impact / Accessibility

The following documents are submitted in support of the application:

 Mobility Management Plan

 Preliminary demolition and construction management plan

 Preliminary Site Servicing Assessment

At the outset it is noted that the site is strategically located in terms of connections to public transport. All servicing is proposed via on street parking and loading bays in the area. A review of the submitted documentation has been undertaken by the Transportation Planning Division which provides the following assessment of the proposal:

The site is located within the city centre in close proximity to multiple public transport options including Bus, Luas, mainline and local line rail services and also public bike sharing

Page 45

schemes. In this regard the development site is well located form an accessibility point of view. The application has confirmed that there will be no alterations to the existing road network and therefore shall not have any impact on the proposed Liffey Cycle Route.

Operation of Facility

In terms of users, it is anticipated that the majority of users and staff will be arriving by foot, public transport and mini buses. The application has categorised the users of the facility into A, B, C and D;

 User A – (external paddler) will use the remote parking available in Ringsend and paddle into the facility via the Liffey or use a proposed shuttle service.

 User B – resident club paddler or rental paddler) will arrive by foot or by minibus.

 User C – (rafter and general visitor/spectator) will arrive on foot/ public transport or by mini bus

 User D – (fire and rescue personnel) will arrive by minibus and a dedicated drop off point is provided for the first responder’s heavy kit at the Plantroom in the Plaza.

The facility will operate on a booking system, and therefore bookings will be scheduled in advance and participants will arrive by appointment. This phasing of users will help control the number of visitors arriving at any one time. The application documents also states that those participants arriving by mini-bus will use the drop-off area provided along the quays.

The existing car park area adjacent to the existing Dublin Docklands office will be used as a kayak storage area and open area adjacent to the new East Building.

Mobility Management & Transport Assessment

The applicant has submitted a comprehensive Mobility Management Plan which outlines a number of integrated initiatives which will seek to encourage sustainable travel practices to the proposed facility. This plan also outlines that Mobility Management Plan Co-ordinators will be appointed and be responsible for the implementation, monitoring and revising the MMP when required.

While no dedicated Transport Assessment has been carried out, the MMP sets out the expected numbers using the facility over a 5 year period. It is expected that in Year 1, it will have approximately 32 visitors per day which is expected to steadily increase over the years to a figure of 103 users per day. The MMP also confirms that no car parking is proposed as part of the development and sets out the options for both car and coach parking areas across the city and will encourage users to then use public transport or walk to the facility. This division is satisfied with the contents of the MMP and request that it be conditioned in the event of an approval.

Servicing, Fire & Emergency Access

Page 46

A preliminary Site Servicing plan has been submitted with the application. This sets out how the expected servicing arrangements for the development. Due to the nature of the use, it is expected that the development will not generate any large increase in servicing trips than existing. The plan states that it is anticipated that 1-2 deliveries will take place each day by way of small transit type vans.

In terms of emergency vehicle access, the plan states that the facility is easily accessible from the Quays and Georges Dock to the north. There is also an existing vehicular access from the Quays in the area called The Plaza, adjacent to the CHQ building.

Construction Management

A preliminary demolition and construction management plan has been submitted. In line with the comments from TII, the applicant / developer shall submit a Construction Management Plan prior to commencement of works.

Lighting

A lighting report is submitted in conjunction with the subject application. This sets out details of the proposed illumination of the course and concludes that the proposed lighting will not have a significant impact on the surrounding environment. The conclusions of this report are noted by the planning authority.

EIAR Screening Report

An EIAR Screening Report is submitted in conjunction with the subject application. This outlines that the proposed development does not meet or exceed the mandatory thresholds for EIAR as set out within the Planning and Development Regulations. In this regard, the submitted screening report assesses the development as a subthreshold EIA Development and the screening has determined that the characteristics of the proposed development are not considered significant due to the nature, size, scale, and location of the development. It has therefore been concluded that there is no requirement for an Environmental Impact Assessment to be carried out for the proposed development. The planning authority accepts and concurs with this conclusion.

Requirement for Appropriate Assessment

Under Article 6 (3) of the EU Habitats Directive and Regulation 30 of SI NO.94/1997 “European Communities (Natural Habitats) Regulations (1997) any plan or project which has the potential to significantly impact on the integrity of a Natura 2000 site must be subject to an Appropriate Assessment. This requirement is also detailed under Section 177 (U) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended). An Appropriate Assessment Screening Report prepared by Altemar

Page 47

Marine and Environmental Consultancy is submitted in conjunction with the subject application.

The Screening Assessment concludes the following in respect of the proposal:

“The level of effect of the proposed project on Natura 2000 sites, without the use of mitigation that is “designed to avoid or reduce the impact of a project or plan on a Natura 2000 site” is deemed not to be significant due to the location in an urban environment,, lack of direct hydrological connection to the River Liffey during construction and operation of the WWRC, existing background noise and lighting within Dublin City, the distance to the Natura 2000 sites, and the significant mixing of foul and surface water via the indirect link through Ringsend WWTP, the estuarine element of the River Liffey and within Dublin Bay. The drainage of surface water to the River Liffey from the quayside buildings is minor (80m2) and will use the existing network currently in place. Any silt or potential hydrocarbon impacts from works in the quayside buildings, in the absence of any control measures, would not be deemed to have a significant impact on Natura 2000 sites, due to the minor scale of this element of the project, the settlement of silt in the estuarine element of the River Liffey and the existing Emergency Management Plan in place in Dublin Port to contain oil spill from entering Dublin Port from upstream sources, prior to reaching Natura 2000 sites”.

Having regard to the above reasons and considerations, the Screening report concludes that there would be no significant negative effects on any Natura 2000 site as a result of the proposed development. As a result, a Stage 2 Appropriate Assessment would therefore not be required.

The conclusions of the AA Screening Report are noted by the planning authority. Having regard to the nature and scale of the proposed development and the proximity to the nearest European site, no Appropriate Assessment issues arise and it is not considered that the proposed development would be likely to have a significant effect, individually, or in combination with other plans or projects, on a European site. The development is therefore considered to be acceptable in this regard.

Response to Submissions

This section of the report provides a response to the points raised within the submissions made in respect of the application. The submissions have been categorised as those in

Page 48

support of the proposal, items requiring clarification and objections. The points raised are addressed below.

Submissions in support of the proposal

The points raised within the submissions lodged in support of the proposal have been taken into consideration. The submissions identify the lack of a training facility within the Country and the need for athletes, sports clubs and emergency rescue personnel to travel for training. The submissions detail significant support from local and national canoe and kayaking clubs and those engaged in the sport. The benefits associated with the use of the facility for year round training for emergency services is furthermore noted.

At a local level the submissions detail the potential benefits for the local community in terms of engagement in water sport, the provision of an active use within the underutilised dock and spin off benefits for tourism and the local economy. The development provides for an active recreational space within the existing unsightly and underutilised Georges Dock.

In addition to the points raised within the submissions it is noted that the provision of an active recreational use within the Dock is in accordance with the Z11 and Z9 zoning objectives pertaining to the site and compliant with and actively encouraged by Section 4.5.1.2 and Policies SC4, GI10 and G113 of the Dublin City Development Plan.

Submissions requiring clarification

A number of submissions on the application are supportive of the principle of the proposal but require points of clarification. The issues raised have been reviewed by the design team for the facility and are addressed as follows:

Trinity College – Occupier of Stack B

 Concerns in relation to risk of vibration from operation of pumps impacting on use of labourites at basement level –

Page 49

Potential impacts will be mitigated by foundation design and mounting arrangements for pumps.

The rafting course will use 4 no. pumps. The pump room housing these pumps is located at a vertical depth approximately 6m below the Stack B ground floor and 45m horizontally. The pumps are virtually silent and vibration-less under standard operational conditions. (0.3mm/sec)

The pumps will be fitted with vibration sensors with two level alarm that will automatically shut down the pumps should the vibration level reach a level that would damage the pump. The sensor is usually set to shut the pumps down at 8.2mm/sec. The vibration level of a shutdown is such that no vibration will be detectable within the Stack B building at any stage of the pump operation.

 Access

Temporary access arrangements will be agreed with the occupier of Stack B during the construction phase of the project.

National Disability Association

Dublin City Council has engaged in consultation with the NDA throughout the design process of the proposal. The following is noted in response to the points raised within the submission:

Accessibility of quayside buildings - Every effort will be made to provide suitable space to allow for the greatest number of potential users.

The installation of hoists will be investigated with the Design Team. However, a number of options for accessing the water are being looked at currently.

The primary access route to the White Water Course for participants is by walking from the Quayside Building to the Course. The route via the Liffey under the Lifting Bridge is an alternative feature but is subject to tidal variations (4 meter tidal range on the Liffey) so regularly this will not be available to users of the facility. The provision of Conveyors to bring

Page 50

rafts and kayaks from the Liffey to the Course is not possible either due to the change in water type, i.e. Salt to Fresh and therefore rafts that operate on the Liffey will always stay on the Liffey side of the current Dam and any private Canoes/Kayaks (Clubs, Irish Elite Team etc) will need to be dipped in a cleaning solution prior to transferring to the course from the Liffey.

 New paving have the appropriate Slip Resistance properties-

The proposed plaza area formed by the two new quayside buildings will incorporate paving with slip resistant properties.

 Edge protection within central island

The central island area is restricted to the staff working on the course and coaching staff linked to the activities on the course along with personnel from the Dublin Fire Brigade and other Emergency Services. Members of the public will not get past the start point of the course and this area will have the appropriate edge protection.

 Engagement with CARA

Dublin City Council and the project design team will engage with Cara in the detailed design of the proposal- in relation to their 2018 document “Great Outdoors, A Guide for Accessibility”.

 City Kayaking

In response to the points raised within the submission by City Kayaking it is noted that the City Council has facilitated City Kayaking by providing a temporary space within the quayside car park for changing rooms plus storage space for kayaks and other items needed for their Liffey tours for a number of years to enable the business to establish. The owners were informed from the outset that this agreement was temporary arrangement due to the fact that there have been plans for many years to redevelop the site. The licence agreement with the Council is for 11 months each year and is subject to a renunciation agreement. The Council has been clear that a long term lease would not be given for the site and that long term that they needed to identify alternative arrangements.

Page 51

Other Points

 Access / Use of Facility

As detailed within the application documentation the use of the facility will be open to all groups/individuals. The facility will operate on a booking basis and time slots will be allocated to different users.

 Replanting/replacement of trees proposed for removal

As illustrated within the application drawings a number of trees are proposed for removal to facilitate the proposed quayside buildings. This has been discussed and agreed with the Parks Department.

 Need for appropriate facilities for reuse and filtering of water to ensure minimal impact on water quality/quantity

Reuse and filtering of water has been incorporated in the design of the White-water facility.

 Timeframe for opening

Pending decision and detailed design - construction envisaged in application documentation as 18 months.

Objections:

The following provides a response to the relevant planning issues raised within the objections on the application.

 Active Use including Rowing and Kayaking should be supported in the Liffey.

Page 52

The use of the Liffey for active recreational sports is supported by the City Council and in line with the objectives set out within the Dublin City Development Plan and the Water Animation strategy for Docklands. Dublin City Council are actively engaged in promoting the increased use of the Liffey by Water sports groups and are currently working with Waterways Ireland on auditing current users of the water bodies within the Docklands with a view to encouraging them to use the Liffey and the Docks more. The City Council support numerous events on the Water such as the Liffey swim, the annual "All in a Row" charity race, the annual "Parade of Sail".

The proposed White-water Facility is proposed in tandem with rather than in place of use of the Liffey for active recreational use. The benefits associated with the proposed facility include a year round access to the facility. The City Council will continue to support active recreational use on the River Liffey.

 No evidence of support and collaboration from DCC and people who use the Liffey.

The City Council has engaged in consultation with various users of the Liffey such as City Kayaking, Sea Cruises Connemara who operate the Discovery Tour on the Liffey, Dublin Port Company, the Irish Nautical Trust along with many others.

The City Council has also engaged in consultation with local stakeholders in relation to the proposal including the Docklands Oversight and Consultative Forum, the Custom House Dock Management Company, CHQ/ EPIC etc.

 Justification/requirement for the proposal

The use of Georges Dock for active recreational space is in accordance with the Z11 zoning objectives pertaining to the site. Furthermore, Georges Dock is identified within the Water Animation Strategy as an active recreational space. The proposal will provide a unique sporting facility for the City which can be used for year round training and recreation for visitors, clubs, and athletes and emergency services.

 Inappropriate location,

As detailed above the provision of active recreational use is in accordance with the zoning objectives of the site and the policies and objectives of the City Development Plan and Water Animation Strategy.

Page 53

 Dock currently used as recreational space, Proposal would deprive the plaza of its relatively peaceful nature. Project commercialises the pedestrian space and increases noise and stress of an already noisy and stressful city

Georges Dock is currently underutilised and in a state of disrepair and visually detracts from the amenity and character of the area. The dock is located within an urban environment. As detailed within the Noise report submitted in conjunction with the application, this is not a noise sensitive space. George’s Dock has been used in the past for events such as Oktoberfest and Christmas Markets.

The use of the Dock for active recreational space is in line with the Z11 zoning objectives pertaining to the site and the policies and objectives of the City Development Plan and the Water Animation Strategy.

 Need for market space and open space in the City

The provision of market space and open space within the City is actively promoted by the City Council. Georges Dock is currently underutilised and in a state of disrepair. The Dock currently detracts from the visual amenity of the area. While the Dock has previously been used for markets and events on a seasonal basis the longer term use of the Dock for active recreational purposes is supported by the Development Plan.

 Costs associated with the project- no economic analysis on the viability of the project undertaken. Complexity of the proposal will lead to long term costs for the Council

Costs associated with proposals are not a planning consideration.

Page 54

Conclusion

It is considered that the provision of an active recreational use within the underutilised Georges Dock and associated quayside development is in accordance with the zoning objectives pertaining to the site and the policies and objectives of the Dublin City Development Plan 2016-2022. Having regard to the nature and scale of the proposal, it is considered that the development would not seriously injure the amenity of property in the vicinity and subject to compliance with the recommendations set out below, it is considered that the proposed development accords with the City Development Plan and the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.

Summary Description: Nine-bay multi-storey reinforced concrete grain silo, built 1915-20 having three five-storey single- bay staircore projections to principal/south elevation (recessed bays between projecting stair cores infilled c.mid 20th century). Attached high level gantry on riveted steel supports built c.1920-30 having terminal structure to south connecting silo with Alexandra Quay (terminal structure rebuilt c. late 20th century). Attached high-level gantry on riveted steel supports to east elevation built c.1920 connecting silo with former flour mill (Odlums) to east. Structure extended to north by two- bays c.1932 with addition of attached steel bin silo and further extended to north c.1937 with addition of three-bay reinforced concrete silo. Single-storey lean-to extension to south built c.late 20th century.

Exterior Description: Flat roofs throughout. Painted reinforced concrete walls arranged in vertical recessed panels to 1915 silo, having projecting cornice with mutules below four-stage attic level and central head house. Painted riveted steel plate walls to c.1932 silo extension. Painted reinforced concrete walls to c.1937 silo extension. Square-headed window openings concentrated to south elevation of silo having splayed concrete cills to 1915 structure and flat cills to c. mid 20th century infill extensions. Metal multiple-pane windows having pivot opening sections. Square-headed window openings to attic level having tripartite window frames. Square-headed door openings to staircore projections and adjacent infill extensions having double-leaf timber panelled doors. Square-headed vehicle openings to west and east elevations of 1915 silo having granite wheel-guards and diorite setts to western openings.

Interior Description: Internally only the ground floor, attic distribution floors and the three projecting stairwells to the south elevation, are accessible under normal conditions with the main body of the structure housing the grain storage bins.

The ground floor of the 1915 silo comprises a double-height loading area stretching across the four northernmost bays of the building, this space is open to the exterior on both the east and west elevations to facilitate loading of vehicles. Diorite setts survive to the western most bay with poured concrete flooring to remainder. Painted concrete walls and parallel rows of square columns, having chamfered detailing, support the overhead grain bins. The ceiling comprises the exposed square-profile hopper soffits of the grain bins (each identified with a painted numeral). Late 20th century stainless steel chutes traverse the space at high level for the conveyance of grain between bins. Projecting clerestory windows to the southern wall, in tandem with a gantry walkway to the northern bays, afford overhead surveillance during the loading of vehicles.

The ground floor of the c.1932 steel bin silo extension comprises a double-height space stretching across the entire floor plate. Unlike the 1915 silo there does not appear to have been vehicle access to this space. Concrete floor throughout, with timber covered trenches (possibly housing augers) running on a north-south axis. Painted riveted steel plate walls having square-headed window openings to the former external north elevation (a metal frame window survives to the west elevation of this section of the silo). ‘I’-profile steel columns having riveted connections support the overhead grain bins. The ceiling comprises the exposed circular-profile hopper soffits of the grain bins (each identified with a painted numeral). Late 20th century stainless steel chutes traverse the space at high level for the conveyance of grain between bins with gantry walkways facilitating access. A late 20th century passenger lift is located within this space and provides direct access to the distribution floor at attic level.

The ground floor of the c.1937 concrete silo extension comprises a double-height space stretching across the entire floor plate. Concrete floor throughout with timber covered trenches (possibly housing augers) running on a north-south axis. Painted concrete walls and parallel rows of square columns having stop chamfered detailing, support the overhead grain bins. The ceiling comprises the exposed square and circular-profile hopper soffits of the grain bins (each identified with a painted numeral). Late 20th century stainless steel chutes traverse the space at low level for the conveyance of grain between bins. Loading of vehicles takes place externally, via chutes which penetrate the north and east elevations. High level square-headed window openings to the north elevation and south elevations (those to the south elevation include glazed projecting observation lights) afford overhead surveillance during the loading of vehicles.

The lower distribution floor at attic level spans the entire floor plan of the 1915 silo and subsequent extensions of c.1932 and c.1937. This floor is accessed via a passenger lift located in the 1932 silo. Concrete floor throughout with clear separation between building phases and having circular floor access hatches to bins. Painted concrete walls with evidence of lime-wash coatings to the 1915 silo. Square-headed window openings to the former external north elevation of the 1915 silo having splayed cills.

Appraisal: An enormous and architecturally impressive representative of large-scale early-twentieth-century industrial architecture, this grain silo, designed by Frederick G. Hicks, constitutes the most elaborate in Ireland in terms of both scale and design. The application of a cornice to this symmetrical façade gives the structure a formal aspect not usually found in this building type. When viewed from Ringsend, on the opposite side of the River Liffey, the composition and scale can be well appreciated and stands out as the most monumental structure in the district.

Historical Background: In the late 19th century flour milling and food processing became substantially more industrial in scale, stimulated by the growing demands of an expanding urban population. It is in this context that the ‘silo’ emerged c.1900 as a distinct building type to provide increased capacity for the storage and distribution of bulk grain. The land on which the R&H Hall Silo was constructed is shown as sand banks on the 1888-1913 O.S map (not reproduced here), however by the close of 19th century an ambitious programme of land reclamation, associated with the construction of the Alexandra Basin, had provided prime industrial development sites, close to the newly created deep water berthage (Gilligan, pg.148). A plan of Dublin Harbour produced in 1906 by The Dublin Port and Docks Board shows the subject lands annotated ‘lands being reclaimed’ (fig.2). Described as the ‘Great Silo’ by H.C. Hartnell in the Port of Dublin Official Handbook (Hartnell, pg.13), the structure was originally commissioned for the ‘Merchants Warehousing Company Ltd’. The silo first appears on the 6 inch Cassini map (fig.3), which records the building to the south of Alexandra Road, connected to the waterside by an elevated gantry (known as a marine leg), with terminal structure and further gantry arm running parallel to the quayside. The Merchants Warehousing Company’s new facility was built to designs by Batchelor & Hicks, who adopted a mildly classical style for the silo. The principal south facing façade, as originally completed, was well composed with a stepped roofline and three symmetrically placed projecting stair cores. Construction on site commenced in 1914 with the Dublin Daily Express reporting on 25th August of that year ‘construction of the boundary walls and gates around new silo now in progress’. Driven by a brief to produce increased storage capacity on a scale not previously seen in Ireland, Batchelor & Hicks abandoned traditional construction materials in favour of modern steel reinforced concrete. The silo was finally completed in 1920 with the facility providing thirty-two storage bins accommodating over 13,000 tonnes of grain. The silo quickly established the Alexandra Basin as the centre of grain importation into Dublin and in 1921 ‘The Dublin Port Milling Co. Ltd’ commenced works on construction of a new flour mill to designs by Hicks & Ashworth, to the immediate west of the silo (NIAH Ref: 50060590), with the two buildings connected by an elevated gantry1. Large scale milling could now take place on the quayside, where grain, unloaded into the silo was thereafter processed in the adjacent mill. An advertisement for the project’s contractor ‘J & W Stewart’ depicts both the silo and mill building shortly after completion. An increase in the importation of bulk grain, reflecting Ireland’s growing dependency on wheat and barley from countries such as Australia and America, coupled with stringent requirements for its storage, under the Agricultural Produce (Cereals) Act of 19332, led to expansion of the silo in two separate phases during the 1930s (Rowley, pg141). The first expansion took place in c.1932 with the addition of a two-bay steel extension, comprising externally expressed circular silos sited to the immediate north of the original structure, housing an additional twelve storage bins capture the silo shortly after completion of the c.1932 steel bin extension). The second extension was constructed

1 The Dublin Port Milling Co. Ltd’ flour mill was later purchased by Odlums and the site is now referred to as the Odlums Site. 2 The so called ‘economic war’ between Britain and Ireland saw the Fianna Fáil government introduce the Agricultural Produce (Cereals) Act of 1933, which specified that milling licence owners had to both provide storage facility and buy the bulk of the wheat soon after harvest so that it could be dried, (Rowley, pg.138).

Page 68

c.1937 by the London based engineering practice of L.G. Mouchel & Partners Ltd. Mouchel’s extension was executed in reinforced concrete using the continuous ‘slip-form’ method of construction and housed an additional fifty-four bins, of both square and circular design (Rowley, pg.134). In stark contrast to the classical aspirations of Batchelor & Hicks’ initial phase, both programmes of extension reflected a strictly utilitarian design with the functional form and massing of the storage bins clearly expressed to the external elevation. Images of Alexandra Dock dated 1947 capture the silo after completion of the second extension phase (fig.6). The silo saw steam power give way to electricity, with the buildings plant equipment powered by electric motor. The port had advertised in 1927 that ‘The Dublin Corporation Electric Lighting Plant Ltd. operated within the precincts of the harbour and afforded ample serves for lighting and power for industrial purposes at favourable rates’ (Hartnell, pg.13). It is noted that an electricity substation, built c.1900 is located to the northeast of the silo for distribution of power to the immediate area (NIAH Ref: 50011171). In 1987 the silo was sold to R&H Hall Company Ltd. after the Merchant Warehouse Company reported losses to its operations at Alexandra Basin (Irish Independent 5th August 1987). The silo remains in active use and continues to function as a bulk dry grain storage facility, though 4 no. of the steel bins, dating to the c.1932 extension phase, have been decommissioned due structural failures in the steel plating. Aside from the 2 no. principal extensions which date to the 1930s, further alterations and additions were carried out c.mid 20th century to include the infilling of Batchelor & Hicks stepped roofline and the asymmetrical infilling of recessed bays between the 3 no. original projecting stair cores of the principal southern elevation. A further single-storey office extension of concrete block construction, abutting the southern elevation of the building, dates to the late 20th century; the terminal structure and section of elevated gantry running parallel to Alexandra Wharf was also rebuilt during this period. A significant number of telecommunications antennae have also been added to the roofline.

Significance/NIAH Rating: The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH) has been carried out for this area. The NIAH uses eight categories of special interest (architectural, historical, archaeological, artistic, cultural, scientific, technical & social) and identifies five categories of rating in seeking to rank buildings. The NIAH rating values are International, National, Regional, Local and Record Only (I, N, R, L, O). Structures which are considered of International, National, and Regional significance are deemed worthy of inclusion on the RPS.

Page 72

The NIAH has assigned the R&H Hall Silo, Alexandra Road, Dublin 1 a ‘National’ rating. These are structures and sites that are considered to be of great architectural heritage significance in an Irish context. Examples include Ardnacrusha Power Station, Co. Clare; the Ford Factory, Cork; Carroll’s Factory, Dundalk; Lismore Castle, Co. Waterford; Sligo Courthouse, Sligo; and Emo Court, Co. Laois. As a result, it is included in the list of Ministerial Recommendations for inclusion on the RPS of structures deemed as being of ‘Regional’ significance or higher identified during Stage 2 of the Dublin Survey.

Assessment of Special Interest under the Planning and Development Act 2000: The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage assigned this building ARCHITECTURAL & TECHNICAL interest.

The Conservation Section, following an inspection of the site on 9th October 2019, has considered the opinion of the NIAH and is in agreement with the two categories of special interest assigned. In addition, the Conservation Section assigns HISTORICAL interest to the site. As a result, the R&H Hall Silo, Alexandra Road, Dublin 1 is considered to be of special interest under the following headings:

 ARCHITECTURAL: - The Bachelor & Hicks silo at Alexandra Basin represents one of the first vertical silos to be have been built in Ireland. Previously, floor silos such as those located at Waterford, built c.1905 (NIAH Ref: 22900908), and Westport, built c.1908 (NIAH Ref: 31308726), conformed to a traditional warehouse layout having large open plan floors on a horizontal arrangement. The silo at Alexandra Basin was one of the first high rise grain stores to utilise multi-storey vertically-aligned drums/bins.

- The early silo and its extension dated c.1937 were designed by known architectural and engineering practices which forged reputations through their use of modern industrial materials and their work on industrial complexes. Batchelor and Hicks designed the original silo building in 1915 and are accredited for their use of the Hennebique reinforced concrete frame system at No.27-30 Dame Street, Dublin in 1906, when it was used ‘reputedly for the first time in the city’ (Casey, pg.415). L.G. Mouchel & Partners Ltd., consulting engineers for the c.1937 extension had designed a number of early reinforced concrete bridges in Ireland as well as 2 no. of the Battersea power station chimneys in 1931 and the Earls Court exhibition centre in 1935, which at the time was one of the largest reinforced concrete buildings in the world, (Rowley, pg.141).

- The silo (including phased extensions) is of an imposing monumental scale which dominates the industrial landscape (see fig.13). Referred to by Hartnell, in 1926 as the ‘Great Silo’ it remains one of the most instantly recognisable landmarks of the Dublin port complex (Hartnell, pg.13).

- The silo is an exemplar of early twentieth-century industrial architecture. Paul Lamour refers to it as ‘the great towering grain silo’, listing it among one of a small number of modern movement buildings to have been built during the early 20th century (Larmour, pg.8). The structure also features as a case study within More than Concrete Blocks Vol. 1, where it is described as ‘a totem to Dublin Port’s twentieth-century history’ (Rowley, pg.132).

- The Bachelor & Hicks silo of 1915 displays an embellishment and architectural elaboration which is unusual in the Irish context in such buildings, having classical detailing rendering the structure reminiscent of a skyscraper (it is noted that the American silos of the central grain belt are colloquially referred to as ‘Prairie Skyscrapers’). In contrast, the extensions of c.1932 and c.1937 are utilitarian in nature

Page 73

demonstrating the relationship between architectural form and function. Collectively the composition presents a compelling juxtaposition and interrelationship of differing design approaches within one single structure.

- The interior is characteristically functional with a simple utilitarian design dictated by process. The ground floors comprise vast double-height spaces dominated by the soffits of the silo hoppers and forests of piers which support the cavernous grain bins overhead. Detailing is reduced to a minimum, though subtle stop chamfers enliven concrete elements to both the 1915 and c.1937 phases. High level gantry walkways and the considered placement of observation windows, offering vantage points from which to oversee the loading of vehicles, demonstrate a clear understanding of the process flow from receiving, storing to distribution of the bulk grain. The three principal stair cores include concrete staircases with metal guarding and electric light fixtures in a restrained modernist style. Limewashed wall and ceiling finishes survive to some process areas with an early 20th century colour scheme retained to the switch room. Though elements of the internal plant have been replaced during the late 20th century, some significant early items remain including the electric switch bank complete with instruments having a maker’s plate reading ‘ELLIOTT BROTHERS (LONDON) Ltd’.

 HISTORICAL: - The silo and extensions are a physical legacy of Dublin Port’s surviving historic industrial landscape, reflecting the development of the Alexandra Basin and the associated socio-economic achievements of the late 19th and early 20th century port authority. The silo continues to maintain its physical connection to the quayside with an elevated gantry to the south, which facilitated the unloading of grain from Alexandra Wharf (Rowley, pg.133).

- The R&H Hall Silo represents one of a small number of early 20th century silo structures still in active use, providing a sense of historical continuity with past industrial activity. The silo also serves as a reminder of the importance of food processing as an industry in early 20th century Dublin.

- The expansion of the silo in c.1932 and again in c.1937 is testimony to the changing socio-economic situation in Ireland during the 1930s, reflecting Irelands growing dependency on bulk grain importation, coupled with stringent requirements for its storage, under the Agricultural Produce (Cereals) Act of 1933 (Rowley, pg141).

 TECHNICAL: - The 1915 silo represents an early use of reinforced concrete, a material that distinguished the modern era and which allowed Bachelor and Hicks to break free of traditional structural constraints, pushing the boundaries of height and scale. More than Concrete Blocks Vol.1 notes that the walls of each bin were only 17.8cm thick, due to the strength of the concrete, allowing for the most efficient use of internal space (Rowley, pg.339).

- The steel plated extension of c.1932 reflects an unusual choice of construction at a time when reinforced concrete was generally recognised as the superior material for the design and execution of silo structures. Favoured during the late 19th century due to a rapid construction timeframe, early steel silos were prone to corrosion and often suffered from poor weather-tightness. The steel bin extension to the R&H Hall Silo at Alexandra Road, together with the silo at the adjacent former Odlums site (NIAH Ref: 50060591), represent one of a small number of industrial scale steel silos to have been built during the first half of the 20th century. It is notable that the use of riveted steel plate was abandoned in favour of ‘slip-form’ concrete construction for the third and final phase of silo expansion.

Page 74

- The concrete silo extension of c.1937 was constructed using the ‘slip-form’ method of construction and reflects an early use of the technique in Ireland. Pioneered during the early 20th century in the construction of grain silos and elevators in North America, the ‘slip-form’ concrete construction technique facilitated the construction of vertical bulk grain storage on an enlarged scale and to an increased efficiency.

- The silo was at the forefront of mechanisation reflecting advancements in new technology through the use of electric powered ‘pneumatic suction pumps’. Though elements of the internal plant have been replaced to facilitate advancements in the industrial process, surviving redundant plant equipment together with the survival of the early industrial form of the principal internal spaces allow a sound understanding of the manufacturing process.

Conclusion: The Conservation Section has considered the applicants’ reasons for seeking addition and concludes that having reviewed the site it is recommended that the R&H Hall Silo, including the early 20th century elevated gantries to the south and east, be proposed for addition to the City’s Record of Protected Structures. A single-storey lean-to extension to the south elevation of the principal silo structure together with the terminal structure attached to the southern end of the elevated quayside gantry and the associated section of gantry running parallel with Alexandra Wharf, date to the late 20th century and are of limited significance - it is recommended that these elements of the structure are excluded from protection.

The purpose of this report is to attain the approval of the Central Area Committee of Dublin City Council for the initiation of the statutory process for the proposed addition of this structure to the Record of Protected Structures. This includes undertaking a statutory public consultation process in accordance with Section 55 of the Act. Following the statutory consultation process, a further report will be prepared taking any submissions and observations received into consideration, with a recommendation to the City Council to proceed or not with the proposed addition, or with a recommendation including amendments to the proposed addition.

Recommendation: It is recommended that the R&H Hall Silo (including the early 20th century elevated gantries to the south and east), Alexandra Road, Dublin 1 be added to the Record of Protected Structures, in accordance with Section 54 and 55 of the Planning and Development Act, 2000 (as amended).

Recommendation Address Description (to appear on RPS) R&H Hall Silo, Alexandra Road, Dublin 1 Grain silo including early 20th century elevated gantries to south and east (but excluding single- storey lean-to extension to the south elevation, terminal structure attached to southern end of the elevated quayside gantry and the associated section of gantry running parallel with Alexandra Wharf).

Dalymount Park Following a detailed appraisal of Dalymount Park, the current plan for the redevelopment is to build a four-sided enclosed UEFA Category 3 stadium with a capacity of 6,000. This will include a new public library for Phibsborough, flexible community space and meeting rooms. The projected cost of the redevelopment is an estimated €35 million including inflation and vat. The competition for the procurement of an integrated design team should be completed in November 2019. A funding application was submitted through the Large Scale Sports Infrastructure Fund (LSSIF) in April 2019. The Department of Transport, Tourism, & Sport have not made any announcement on this fund but it is hoped there should be one by the end of the year. Dublin City Council cannot confirm the commencement date until a commitment for funding from the LSSIF fund is announced. However, the Dalymount Park redevelopment appraisal submitted by Dublin City Council to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport has just been approved by the Strategic Research and Analysis Division (SRAD) as being compliant with the Public Spending Code.

Proposed

Parks Section are undertaking a planting project on Dorset St /Drumcondra Rd Lr. The project is a greening pilot project to repair the green infrastructure on the central median. All 22 trees bar one were dead on Drumcondra Road Lower. Before the works were initiated Parks held extensive community engagement as part of the North East Inner City Greening Strategy. We also had a meeting with the Dorset Street stakeholder group in Civic Offices informing them of the project and the new interventions.

The new intervention will ensure that the trees will be able to establish and live to maturity. The project involves opening up the ground plane and introducing ground planting. This will further enhances the greening in the area and biodiversity. The opening up of the ground will also introduce

Page 126 further SUDs measures, restoring natural processes, allowing the soil to breath, absorb and release rainwater slowly.

The new trees are being installed on the weekend of 9th November as large specimens and will have a significant positive impact in the area. The trees to be installed will be Platanus (London Planes) in keeping and extending the green corridor of Drumcondra into the city.

After this section of the project is complete, we will go back to the community and discuss continuing this treatment the whole length of Dorset Street. Ventry Park The meeting with residents provisionally dated for 21st November has been postponed to allow the landscape architect designs to be further developed. A new date will be set as soon as possible and councillors will be briefed in advance.

The successful candidate will be tasked with producing a plan for the implementation of the Government’s Migrant Integration Strategy Strategy in the NEIC. This work will be carried out in close consultation with, inter alia, the NEIC Migrant Ethnic Communities Steering Committee.

The vision of the Government’s Migrant Integration Strategy is that migrants are facilitated to play a full role in Irish society, that integration is a core principle of Irish life and that Irish society and institutions work together to promote integration.

ULI ADVISORY SERVICES PANEL REPORT PUBLISHED

The report of the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Advisory Panel following their work in the NEIC in June 2019 was published at the ULI Ireland Conference on 24th October

The report was commissioned earlier this year by Dublin City Council, who called upon ULI to provide independent advice to on how to tackle the disadvantage and poverty that has persisted in the NEIC.

The panel of eight international property experts – from the Netherlands, the U.S., U.K. and Ireland – was convened between 23–28 June through ULI’s Advisory Services Programme to conduct a thorough evaluation of the challenges and opportunities facing the area before presenting its recommendations to Dublin City Council.

Page 2 of 9 Page 138

The panel, found that the NEIC area has many advantages including a central location, excellent transport connectivity and a diverse, strong community, but that there were also a number of challenges facing the neighbourhood such as deprivation and unemployment, a limited use of existing assets and a lack of co-ordinated leadership.

Recommendations included developing an arts strategy that works towards an authentic arts district for the NEIC that could enhance the physical environment, change perceptions of the area and bring in new visitors and tourists. This would incorporate existing assets, as well as bringing interim spaces to life for incubator space for artists and for arts, sports, recreation and green spaces.

The full report is available to download at https://1eg3hu1iihkr2ga6vceuz7hb-wpengine.netdna- ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/127/ULI-Documents/ULI-Dublin-ASP-Report-Final.pdf

THE BIG SCREAM – NEIC HALLOWEEN COMMUNITY FESTIVAL

The NEIC funded 10 - day Big Scream Halloween festival was successfully delivered from 22nd – 31st October. Different elements of the festival attracted extensive positive media coverage including national TV appearances, radio interviews, news items and numerous print media articles. The Halloween night events on Sean MacDermott St. and Sheriff St. received overwhelmingly positive feedback from the general public. An Garda Siochána reported a marked reduction in anti-social behavior, with no reports of criminal damage or public order incidents. An evaluation exercise will be undertaken and the report will be shared with the Committee in due course.

CENTRAL AREA COMMITTEE DUBLIN CITY SPORT & WELLBEING PARTNERSHIP REPORT NOVEMBER 2019

1. DCSWP HIGHLIGHT EVENTS & PROGRAMMES NOVEMBER- DECEMBER 2019

GAGA (GET ALL GIRLS ACTIVE) 2019______

GAGA is a Dublin City Sport & Wellbeing Partnership core programme which takes place from October to December aimed at increasing female participation through multi-sport initiatives.

The programme culminates in GAGA Day on Wednesday 4 December. Now in its second year GAGA Day is an initiative held to enable and Page 147 Page inspire all girls to participate and engage in sport and physical activity through a range of new and existing programmes and events across the city.

As a Local Sports Partnership the GAGA programme and GAGA Day links into the women in sport 20x20 “If She Can’t See It, She Can’t Be It” national campaign https://20x20.ie. This campaign is an all-inclusive movement to shift Ireland’s cultural perception of women’s sport by 2020 with a 20% increase in media coverage of women in sport, a 20% increase in female participation at all levels of sport and a 20% increase in attendance at women’s games and events.

MARATHON KIDS 2019______

DCSWP is delighted to be re-engaging with the Marathon Kids programme for 2019 in partnership with South Dublin Council and Fingal County Council Local Sport Partnerships. Marathon Kids is an 8-week initiative encouraging and promoting the social, physical and mental benefits of physical activity for our children.

During the programme 5th and 6th year primary school students complete four running sessions each week inching them closer to completing their first marathon. The students will come together for the last marathon mile in a grand finale event held in Morton Stadium, Santry on 13 November 2019 making their achievement even more special.

1

We have had a very positive response to the programme with 15 schools signing up this year meaning 550 of our young students in the city will be enjoying regular physical activity during school-time.

Motion in the name of Councillor Nial Ring

That the Central Area Committee agree to congratulate the relatives, the Justice for the Forgotten organisation and Dublin Bus workers for their vigilance and efforts to ensure that the memorial plaque to the three busmen killed in the Dublin bombings at Sackville Street will be restored and reinstated on Marlborough Street following the completion of the Moxy Hotel development.

Motion in the name of Councillor Gary Gannon

That the Central Area Committee agree to engage with the management of Glasnevin Cemetery so that the two towers at the front of the cemetery, which face onto the Finglas road can once again be illuminated during the darker evenings.
