Peamount/Gollierstown

The current development plan applies an EE zoning to lands at Peamount/Gollierstown immediately south of the the Grand Canal. As an elected member at the time, I supported this zoning and continue to do so in terms of the next plan.

However, as development on these lands is much more likely to proceed in the lifetime of the next plan, I believe there is a need to reflect on how development will interface with the old quarry area along the Grand Canal at Gollierstown given the ecological and historical sensitivity of this area. I propose the Development Plan should provide for a linear park of at least 50 metre width, and preferably 100 metres width, to the south of the old quarry area.
