The development consists of the retention and completion of revisions to a section of the northern site boundary comprising the omission of the pedestrian/cycle access (consisting of ramp and stairs) off Thomas Omer Way and the repositioning of the pedestrian access c. 6 m in an easterly direction to co-join with the permitted vehicular access. The amendments do not involve any changes to the position of the permitted vehicular access itself and the access road remains in accordance with the Clonburris Strategic Development Zone (SDZ) Planning Scheme. Permission is also sought for the relocation of bicycle parking areas within the site; revisions to the permitted boundary treatment along a section of the eastern site boundary; the installation of 3 no. flagpoles in the south-eastern part of the site; and revisions to the site compound including repositioning of bin store area and replacement of previously permitted bio-mass heating with new heat pump and gas storage tank.

The development will consist of works located inside the Clonburris SDZ relating to the Stage 2 roads, public parks/open space areas and services infrastructure works (as part of a separate concurrent application) as per the Clonburris SDZ Planning Scheme (2019) to facilitate the future development of the northern part of the overall SDZ comprising: A) The construction of c. 2.3km of a new Link Street Clonburris Northern Link Street (CNLS) and approximately 800m of side streets including ancillary cycle facilities, pedestrian crossings, traffic signals, footpaths, car parking (79 no. spaces) public lighting as well as services infrastructure (including ESB, Comms, gas main, trunk surface water sewer, and watermain) and ancillary works. B) Provision/upgrade of 12 signalised junctions (5 new and 7 upgraded) as follows: Junction 1: R136 & Adamstown Avenue/Thomas Omer Way, Junction 3: R113 & Thomas Omer Way / Ninth Lock Road, Junction 4: CNLS & R136, Junction 6: CNLS, Junction 8: CNLS & R113, Junction 9: CNLS/Neilstown Road & Ninth Lock, Junction 24: CNLS/Neilstown Road & Ninth Lock, Junction 28: R136 & Adamstown Avenue/Thomas Omer Way, Junction 2: CNLS & Thomas Omer Way, Junction 5: CNLS, Junction 7: CNLS, Junction 27: R136 & Adamstown Avenue/Thomas Omer Way along with minor priority-controlled junctions are proposed along the street alignment to provide access to existing development and future development cells within the Clonburris SDZ. C) Approximately 2 km of upgrade of existing streets, including minor priority-controlled junctions are proposed along the street alignment to provide access to existing development and future development cells within the Clonburris SDZ, including pedestrian crossings. D) Provision of 2 main public parks centrally (Na Cluainte Park North) c. 2.78 ha and in the eastern part of the subject lands (c. 0.77 ha) both to include open water attenuation areas. E) Drainage infrastructure works to include surface water attenuation areas, Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDs) as well as landscaped areas including attenuation ponds and the provision of underground attenuation. Provision of surface water drainage and waste supply trunk infrastructure within the proposed road corridors; wastewater infrastructure including a foul pumping station (known as pumping station no.3) and foul pipe network within proposed road corridors to facilitate drainage connections to future development within the SDZ lands. The easterly section of the development will collect surface water and discharge into an existing outfall situated within Moorfield Walk whereas the western surface water catchment will connect (as part of a separate concurrent application) to an existing surface water outfall on the Griffeen Road (and ultimately to an existing Griffeen River outfall). F) Provision of trunk watermain infrastructure within the CNLS as well as connections to the permitted watermain infrastructure as part of SDZ20A/0021. G) Permission is also sought for all ancillary site development and landscape works associated with the development, including hard and soft landscaping, (tree pits, boundary treatments, road marking, signage, enabling works and temporary construction works, (including site accommodation, site compounds, and temporary construction boundary fencing) as well as temporary project signage (at 6 no. locations) and provision of underground utility connections under the Dublin - Cork Railway line (at 3 no. locations) and Irish water diversions. This application is being made in accordance with the Clonburris Strategic Development Zone Planning Scheme 2019 and relates to a proposed development within the Clonburris Strategic Development Planning Scheme Area, as defined by Statutory Instrument No. 604 of 2015.

The proposed primary school will extend to c3,355sq.m will be 2 storeys in height and will comprise 16 no. classrooms with an additional 2 classroom Special Educational Needs Unit; a General Purpose Hall and all ancillary teacher and pupil amenities and facilities. The proposed development also provides for hard and soft play areas, including 2 no. outdoor ball courts, bicycle parking, staff car parking, vehicle drop off and set down areas. Photovoltaic Panels (PV) are proposed on roofs in addition to EV Charging Points and a packaged Biomass heating plant. The proposed development also provides for all landscaping and boundary treatments and all associated site development works. Access to the site will be via a new junction and access road off Thomas Omer Way. The new access road will run south off Thomas Omer Way and then west into the site. The proposed access road Is in accordance with the Clonburris Strategic Development Zone (SDZ) Planning Scheme and incorporates public lighting, footpaths and cycle tracks. A further pedestrian / cycle only connection to Thomas Omer Way ls also proposed along the western green corridor, west of the proposed school building.
