In the current Dublin City Development Plan our section of South Circular Rd. is
zoned Z2 - to protect and/or improve the amenities of residential conservation
areas. Is the Board satisfied that the proposed development is consistent with this
zoning? I would question whether the scale of the development and the proposed
access at the end of our road achieves any improvement of our neighbourhood. The
increased level of traffic both during and after construction will put significant
pressure on the local infrastructure which will adversely impact the residential
amenity in the area. We note that a valuable opportunity to open up the streetscape
at the end of the road has been lost with the proposed wall and below street level
floors of the buildings along SCR. The development does not provide any
enhanced public spaces or facilities for local amenity and puts added pressure on
existing public transport. The development will no doubt reduce the value of our
houses and will increase pressure on people to move away from the area with
potential for significant development of private clinics along our road - similar to
Eccles St. just at a time when a number of young families have moved into the area.
We are very concerned with the potential for increased traffic along our street and
with the pressure that the proposed development will put on parking in the area.
We rely on street parking and east of access is an important amenity as a residential
community.

Is the board satisfied that the traffic surveys that have been carried out reasonably
represent the proposed increase in traffic and resulting potential for congestion in
the area, particularly at rush hour? Currently there is significant congestion on the
street. There are regular tail backs along the full length of SCR from Kilmainham
Village to St. James' s Hospital, particularly travelling west towards the village at
evening rush hour. The junction on Con Col bart Rd. is a well-known bottlekneck,
as is Inchicore Village from the N7. We are at the convergence with the N4 and the
N7, two of the busiest national primary routes in the country.
Have the traffic surveys been carried out at a representative time of year particularly during school tenn, at rush hour and in the winter months when traffic
is at a peak? Traffic surveys during the summer within the period of economic
downturn would not be representative.
Has the potential impact of improved economic conditions been properly assessed
in assessing traffic?
We would ask the Board to particularly give consideration to the potential impact of
the development on parking in the area, i.e.:
o
If our concerns about parking have not been addressed adequately in the planning
application then we strenuously object to the proposed development. It is a
significant amenity to the residential area and there is no off-street parking on SCR.
Has due consideration been given to the compounding impact that the proposed
development will have when considered in conjunction with the new Mercer
Institute for Successful Aging and the proposal to co-locate the maternity hospital
on the site? Are the applicants aware of any other developments on the site?
If our observations have not been adequately addressed in the proposed planning
application then we would urge the Board to reject the application or stipulate appropriate
conditions that would mitigate our concerns.
