Masterplan - Holy Cross College SHD, Drumcondra 1.1 Purpose of the Masterplan CWTC Multi Family ICAV acting on behalf of its sub-fund DBTR DR1 Fund in conjunction with the GAA have worked together to produce the Masterplan for the Clonliffe College lands as required by the Z12 zoning of the lands in Dublin City Development Plan 2016-2022. The Masterplan seeks to set out the future development framework for the Clonliffe College lands to ensure the successful delivery of a co-ordinated development in accordance with the Z12 zoning which takes cognisance of a number of key stakeholders such as The Archdiocese of Dublin, Belvedere College, Mater Dei Institute of Education and the local communities, in addition to CWTC Multi Family ICAV acting on behalf of its sub-fund DBTR DR1 Fund and the GAA. The aim of the Masterplan is to provide the framework for the sensitive transition of the lands to realise the potential of this underutilised, but nevertheless, important area in Drumcondra. The overriding vision of the Masterplan is to create a legible, easy to navigate, and welcoming piece of city that is pleasant to use, recognise and incorporates the history of the lands and associated built heritage and benefits from identifiable new buildings and public spaces. In accordance with the Z12 zoning, the Masterplan sets out the framework for development across the lands through public amenity spaces, potential for residential development, hierarchy of public and private realm, heights, massing and approach to materiality. Furthermore this document intends to describe how the development will connect with and enhance the surrounding communities, both in terms of movement and enjoyment of public amenity. This Masterplan seeks to address the key concerning principles for future development. The implementation of the framework set out in the Masterplan will be by way of planning applications by the relevant landowners.

RICHMOND ROAD These lands are a combination of the Z12 zoned lands and the LEGEND: Z9 green network which stretches along the banks of the Tolka, with a small portion of the joint development site straddling the boundary to Z1 lands. Whilst the statutory basis for the preparation of the Masterplan relates to the Z12 lands, considering the sites’ relationship to the Z9 lands which straddle the River Tolka, and the TOLKA RIVER opportunity to provide for an open space network on the site which links in to the River Tolka, the extension of the Masterplan to include the adjacent portion of Z9 lands is considered to be logical and appropriate. These lands are covered under the Joint Development Boundary, referred to on the adjacent diagram. DRUMCONDRA ROAD The lands subject to the Z12 Masterplan (the area bounded by solid Masterplan Z12 Boundary blue lines ) are set out on the accompanying map total 14.5 ha.
