Planning precedent report

The development will consist of the provision of construction access and haul road (total length approx. 494m), to facilitate the construction of development permitted under Reg. Ref. F20A/0204 (ABP PL06F.308446), on a site of approx. 1.1ha. The haul road extends from the existing access onto the Donabate Distributor Road (R126), northwards towards Main Street, Donabate, to connect with the site associated with Reg. Ref. F20A/0204 (ABP PL06.308446). The haul road infrastructure works include: • Temporary road surface finish with a width of approx. 5.5m and length of approx. 494m; • Incorporation of swales along the proposed haul road edge which will discharge to a temporary drainage basin; and • All ancillary and associated site development, drainage, landscape and boundary treatment works. It is intended that this additional haul route will assist in reducing the level of construction traffic accessing the site via the permitted construction and development access from Main Street, Donabate. On completion of development permitted under Reg. Ref. F20A/0204 (ABP PL06F.308446), the extent of the haul route will be reinstated to its current agricultural use or incorporated into future development of zoned lands at Corballis East. This application will be accompanied by a Natura Impact Assessment (NIS).
