AMENDMENT V2 – 100

Action Area Plans & Specific Local Objectives

1. To extend plan boundary to include a new ‘Specific Local Objective’ area of 19.25ha (as outlined in light blue on the map below)
2. To zone the land within this SLO as follows:
   1. Max 11ha ‘RN - New Residential’ (blue hatched area)
   2. Minimum 3.25ha AOS (light green hatched area)
   3. Minimum 5ha OS1 (dark green area)

SLO XX:            Inchanappa

This SLO is located on part of the grounds of Inchanappa House that adjoin the M/N11 to the east, the R772 to the west and bounded by Inchanappa House and outbuildings to the south. The overall SLO measures c. 19.25ha, as shown in Figure 2.X.

This Specific Local Objective shall be delivered as a residential and open space development in accordance with the following criteria:

• The lands zoned ‘OS1’ in this SLO shall be developed as a ‘community park’ open to all (not just residents of this SLO) comprising woodland walks, landscaped areas, seats etc and a teenage zone and adult gym (minimum 0.4ha in area) at an easily accessible and safe location and well connected to Ashford Village;
• The lands zoned ‘AOS’ (or other similarly sized lands within the SLO area) shall be developed as a community sports area, including (but not limited to) playing pitches / courts etc and an indoor sports / community hall suitable for a range of sports and community uses; only a site that is well connected to Ashford village by active and sustainable transport modes will be considered for this element of the SLO;
• Only 50% of the residential element may be developed prior to the OS1 and the community sports zone (including buildings and appropriate access) on AOS being laid out and completed by the developer in manner to be agreed with Wicklow County Council and devoted to the public;
• The design and layout of the overall SLO, in particular the residential element, shall address and provide for passive supervision of the community park and amenity walks. At no point should the design or layout allow for housing backing onto this proposed public open space area.
• A pedestrian walk linking the residential area of this SLO to land designated as Opportunity Site 1 shall be provided as part of the development.
• The minimum set back of new housing development from the M11 in this SLO shall be 50m. Where housing development is proposed within 100m of the M11, the developer shall be responsible for designing, providing and maintaining suitable noise and light pollution mitigation measures.

This SLO shall be the subject of comprehensive (not piecemeal) masterplan that allows for the sustainable, phased and managed development of the SLO area during the plan period. Separate applications for sections of the SLO will not be considered until an overall SLO masterplan has been agreed in writing with the Planning Authority unless it can be shown that any application will not undermine the achievement of the overall objectives for the area. The position, location and size of the land use zonings shown on plan maps are indicative only and may be altered in light of eventual road and service layouts, detailed design and topography, subject to compliance with the criteria set out for the SLO.
