Planning, Station and Environs and Future Development

A Community Under Threat

• Quiet and Green

• Integrated with the Railway Works

• A Cul-de-sac threatened by greater permeability and proposed future development of the Railway Works

A Community Under Threat

• Future Development: the Railway Works Site is Twice the Size of Temple Bar, similar to the Docklands

A Community Under Threat

• The community needs to be a participating stakeholder in any future development

CIE’s History of Neglect and Failure to Plan

• Section 43(1) , Transport (Railway Infrastructure) Act 2001 as amended by the Planning and Development, (Strategic Infrastructure) Act 2006, sets out matters Bord Pleanála is required to consider before deciding whether to grant the order

• These include: ‘the likely consequence for proper planning and sustainable development in the area in which it is proposed to carry out the Railway Works and for the environment of such works.’(s. 43(1)(g)).
