LTR·OATEO I J l 0 FROM RK PL ~~04~

Your Ref: PL29N.PA0043 National Paediatric Hospital at StJames's Hospital.

I wish to make an OBSERVATION to An Board Pleamila in respect of planning reference PL29N.PA0043

REASON:

1) Apparently the Irish Aviation authority are unaware of the proposed helipad plans submitted in PL29N.PA0043.The lack of detailed consultation for a Helipad at level 5 has serious "implications of the proposed development for proper planning and sustainable development" and "the likely effects on the environment of the proposed development''.

2) "for the purpose of Section 37E (3) (c) of the Principal Actl". The An Board Pleamila inspector has failed to list the Irish aviation Authority and Dublin Chief Fire Office as a prescribed body considered relevant to Helicopter operations.

I understand that An Board Pleamila can only consider submissions or observations relating to-

(i) the implications of the proposed development for proper planning and sustainable development, and

(ii) the likely effects on the environment of the proposed development, and (iii) the likely significant effects or adverse effects on the integrity of a European site, (if

applicable). if carried out

I guide An Board Pleanala to my Source Document:

Irish Aviation Authority: OPERATIONS ADVISORY MEMORANDUM (OAM) No: 08/00 Reissued: 23/05/05.

Unk: https:Uwww.iaa.ie/media/HelicopterSiteOperatorsGuidelines1.pdf

Title: Heliports -Guidelines for Heliport Site Owners/Occupiers and for Heliport Site-keepers (Replaces OAM 08.00 as reissued on 01/06/02). NB: Section 4 Elevated Heliports

Section 4. Elevated Heliports

4.1. By virtue of the siting of the vast majority of elevated heliports within congested areas with the associated perceived risk to the heliport building, third parties and to nearby structures, only helicopters with Performance Class 1 capability are permitted to land at or tak~off from elevated heliports. The helicopter type, intended to be used, must possess a Flight Manual performance profile demonstrating that, in the event of engine failure occurring at any time during the take-off or landing manoeuvres, the helicopter can safely land back on to the elevated heliport or safely fly away, avoiding all obstacles by a vertical margin of at least 35 feet (see Aeronautical Notice 0.2).

4.2. The minimum acceptable dimensions of an elevated heliport must also be described in the Flight Manual, the Flight Manual Supplement and/or in the Operations Manual for the helicopter type under consideration. Elevated heliports which do not conform to the required dimensions should not be considered for use. Any proposed development for an elevated heliport for day or night use, will always attract the need for IAA operational approval and licensing. Factors considered will include, intended operations, heliport dimensions, obstacle environment, lighting, approach path indicators; and visual cues and flight visibility from the type of helicopter to be used; and pilot qualifications and training. Thus, a heliport 'proving' flight test programme, undertaken by a helicopter operator in conjunction with the IAA, will normally be required, and successful completion of a special pilot training and checking programme to ensure pilot competency will also be necessary before an IAA approval of helicopter operations to an elevated heliport will be considered.

4.3. The provision of Rescue and Fire Fighting Services (RFFS) at elevated heliports is mandatory and must be provided to the scales laid down in Chapter 6 of ICAO Annex 14, Volume 2, (Heliports). Close liaison with the local Fire Brigade during the heliport planning and construction stages must be established and maintained thereafter to ensure a viable emergency plan is agreed, maintained and monitored.

4.4. In all cases, it is necessary that an elevated heliport developer consult in advance, with the IAA and with the local planning authority before final development committal is made to the project. Recent experience has shown that, where a planning application is made, environmental considerations, such as possible noise disturbance, fuel contamination, public access, etc., weigh heavily in the decision making process.

4.5. When seeking guidance from the IAA, an architect's! engineer's drawing/plan together with a helicopter operational report from an appropriately qualified consultant, including aerial photographs of the proposed heliport site taking in nearby structures and obstacles should be forwarded to Authority for preliminary evaluation. Site visits during the heliport development phase and thereafter by IAA Inspectors will be required. Fees will be payable in respect of site visits and licensing, as appropriate. OAM 08/00 11 5.

Pl ---t

The Board in its deliberations may wish to contact the following competent authority:

http://www.iaa.ie/ safe reg/iaip/Mik~d%20Files/AIP%20Files/AO/EI AD 1 1 EN.pdf

The IAA may also advise the Board on the number of Helicopters currently on the Irish civil register that conform to Performance Class 1.

Should the prospective applicant remove the elevated helicopter pad that will serve the "whole campus" then An Board Pleanala may wish to consider the implications for this removal under overall"access".

Thank you for considering my observation. A fee of € 50 accompanies this observation and an electronic copy can be forwarded to the Board if requested.
