D19A/0908: Permission for development on a site of c. 0.76 ha (the site is bounded to the north by greenfield lands within the administrative boundary of Dublin City Council; to the south by the culverted Trimleston Stream, Booterstown Marsh and a public park; to the east by the Nutley stream and rail line; and to the west by Merrion Road/Rock Road R118). The proposed development shall provide for 1 no. vehicular access (exit point) from the site via Merrion Road/Rock Road (R118) linking to the existing traffic signalised junction at Trimleston Avenue/Merrion Road/Rock Road. This vehicular access (exit point) is proposed to serve a proposal for a new recreational and interpretive centre building on Dublin City Council lands to the north of the current site (this proposal is the subject of a separate and concurrent planning application to Dublin City Council and includes vehicular entry point). The proposal also provides for open landscaped space, which forms part of an overall biodiversity plan for this site and the adjoining development site to the north (a number of biodiversity proposals are the subject of a separate planning application lodged concurrently to Dublin City Council). Biodiversity proposals for this site provide for a range of measures including (1) a coastal meadow; (2) a coastal tree belt; (3) a new bird hide (c. 8.5 sq m) (overall height c. 3.25m); (4) a mown grass access path; (5) a coastal meadown flood plain; (6) small bee boxes, swift boxes and sand martin boxes; and (7) retention of existing scrub, natural grassland and wildflower areas. The associated site and infrastructural works proposed include provision of services and connections; all landscaping works and boundary treatment (including the provision of steel gates along the boundary frontage of the site at Merrion Road/Rock Road R118). An environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) and Natura Impact Statement (NIS) will be submitted to the Planning Authority with this planning application.
