Pursuant to the requirements of the above, notice is hereby given of the proposal to construct the following development by South Dublin County Council:
AIRTON ROAD EXTENSION - PROPOSED NEW LINK ROAD FROM COOKSTOWN INDUSTRIAL ESTATE ROAD TO BELGARD ROAD
The proposed works will form part of a wider integrated road network which will result in the creation of a new permeable street connecting the Airton Road to the Cookstown Road and further south to Tallaght Town Centre via an approved Part 8 development.
It will act as a catalyst for connecting Tallaght Hospital, Technology University Dublin (TUD), a post primary school, an innovation centre, and a residential community. The proposed new link road will be carried out through the Part 8 process.
The South Dublin County Council County Development Plan (CPD) sets out several objectives relevant to the proposals for the provision of a new link road connecting the Airton Road to the Cookstown Road. Of particular note are CS2 Objective 4: which promotes and supports the regeneration of underutilised industrial areas within areas designated with Zoning Objective Regeneration ‘REGEN’ (to facilitate enterprise and/or residential led regeneration) and CS2 Objective 6: which promotes higher residential densities at appropriate locations, adjacent to town centres or high-capacity public transport nodes (Luas/Rail).
The lands at Cookstown are zoned regeneration with an objective of facilitating enterprise and or residential led regeneration. Section 11.2.4 of the CDP stipulates that development within Regeneration zones will be assessed against the relevant criteria within the Urban Design Manual –A Best Practice Guide (2009), the Design Manual for Urban Roads and Streets (2013) and/or the Retail Design Manual (2012) as appropriate.
Where the Tallaght Town Centre and Cookstown neighbourhoods met, the network included in the draft LAP promotes provision of a new link road connecting the existing Airton Road to the Cookstown Road, which is referred to as the Airton Road extension. The Airton Road extension will significantly open-up currently inaccessible land, by improving access to public and road transport and by creating permeable/accessible places.
The Proposed Scheme consists of the following works:
The construction of three signal-controlled junctions, Junction of Cookstown Ind. Estate Road with Airton Road Extension, Junction of Airton Road Extension with the entrance into Belgard Retail Park and the Junction of Airton Road Extension and Belgard Road.
Junctions – Junction layouts are to be as per the NTA’s standard for cycleways, the layout of the proposed junctions will be updated in line with new NTA standards when the latest layouts come available.
The construction of associated drainage and culverts.
The provision of associated road markings, traffic signage and public lighting.
The installation of ducting for statutory service relocations and the diversion of existing statutory services that are affected by the works.
The construction of boundary walls, fencing and access treatment.
Associated earthworks and appropriate landscape works.
