SLIGO COUNTY COUNCIL Glenview Halting Site, Ash Lane, Sligo

1c Project Details Programme Constraints: See information outlining the Baseline Schedule indicated in Section 3a below. Site Area: The area of the site measures approximately 0.953 Hectares. Site Ownership: The property is in the ownership of Sligo County Council Services: All existing main services such as sewerage, water, communications and electricity are available on site. Sligo County Council is in the process of preparing a Pre Connection Enquiry Form to Irish Water regarding connections to the existing water and wastewater services. The location of ESB meters for all Halting Site bays is in the Caretakers Building which is scheduled to be demolished as part of Phase 2 of the proposed scheme. This must be address at design stage and agreed with the service provider. Also, the shallow gradient on the foul sewer requires the regular cycling of the flushing chamber indicated on the site layout plan to ensure wastewater is removed. The Design Team will be required to liaise with statutory services, e.g. Irish Water, ESB, and Telecoms Planning and Part 8 consent:

Phase 1 - Sligo County Council has submitted a Part 8 Planning Application for the proposed development and a decision to proceed is expected to arise from the scheduled meeting of Sligo County Council members on the 11th June 2018. Phase 2 – Sligo County Council intend to submit a Part 8 Planning Application for a group housing scheme on the Western portion of the site which is to be accessed via the existing access road from Ash Lane

Zoning: The site is zoned Residential (R3) in the Sligo & Environs Development Plan 2010-2016. Note: As part of the adopted Sligo County Development Plan 2017-2023, the Sligo & Environs Development Plan 2010-2016 and its provisions, policies and objectives unless otherwise amended, have been subsumed into the County Sligo Development Plan 2017-2023. Investigation Works: See topographical survey attached at Appendix 3. Ground Investigation Survey by others. Infrastructural Constraints: Constraints known to date:

The site fronts onto Ash Lane (N16) in Sligo which is a busy public roadway

SLIGO COUNTY COUNCIL Glenview Halting Site, Ash Lane, Sligo

Phasing Works Requirements: It is envisaged that the scheme will be divided into two parts as follows:

Phase 1 on the Eastern side of the site consists of the refurbishment of 6 no. bay service units and includes the construction of a new access road from Ash Lane. The construction of the proposed roadway will be a priority to ensure access is maintained to carry out the refurbishment works to the existing units. Phase 2 on the Western side of the site is to consist of a group housing scheme accessed via the existing access road from Ash Lane

Heritage/Environmental/Conservation Issues: The site lies outside the Zone of Archaeological Potential as per the Record of Monuments and Places (RMP).

Building Regulations: The development will be designed to comply with the requirements of the latest building regulations in accordance with Building Control (Amendment) Regulations 2014. As defined by the Framework agreement, the Engineer will be appointed by Sligo County Council as the Assigned Certifier and the Design Certifier and will fulfil the statutory duties of the Assigned Certifier and Design Certifier, with support from design team members acting as Ancillary Certifiers. Due account is to be taken of the Code of Practice for inspecting and certifying Building and Works. Sustainability and Environmental Considerations: The successful design team will be expected to incorporate materials and systems which maximise the sustainability of buildings ensuring exceptional design life of building elements and infrastructure (within the funding constraints). Where innovative or novel solutions are proposed, diligence must be exercised in establishing the appropriateness, suitability and life expectancy of such solutions, and must in all cases conform to Irish, British and /or European standards and the existence of appropriate Agrément Certification. H&S The existing development is accessed from the N16 which is a busy artery through Sligo city centre. The site is also adjacent to Sligo University Hospital entrance and opposite IT Sligo. Detailed Traffic Management proposals will be required and must be agreed with all relevant stakeholders. The Safety and Wellbeing of the existing residents of the Halting Site must also be considered as Phase 1 work is undertaken. A secure Site Compound must be put in place and construction working hours must be compatible with an existing residential area of this nature.
