Proposed amendment No. 9 Residential Car Parking Standards, Cherrywood SDZ

Consultation is closed

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council as the Development Agency appointed by Government to promote the Cherrywood Strategic Development Zone (SDZ) Planning Scheme made an application to An Bord Pleanála on 31 May 2023 to amend the approved Cherrywood Planning Scheme 2014 (as amended) in relation to Residential Car Parking Standards, Section 4.2.10 Car Parking Standards.

The main reasons for the proposed Amendment are as follows:

to update the Planning Scheme to align and accord with changed and emerging national, regional and local policy context relating to car parking, and to promote sustainable public and active travel modes, and climate change mitigation measures
to guide the provision of an appropriate level of car parking provision, including having regard also to the need to consider car ownership and usage trends, changes in travel behaviour, climate action, and emerging best practice in relation to car parking
to set out reduced maximum car parking standards for residential development across each of the residential density zones (Res 1 - Res 4) and within the Town Centre and Village Centres, and for shared car spaces
to reduce the maximum residential car parking standards as proposed by way of this Amendment to take cognisance of proximity to public transport services, the ambitious modal split targets for sustainable transport modes as set in the Cherrywood Planning Scheme, and the potential for car sharing and other recent and emerging innovations in car parking

An Bord Pleanála, as the relevant Competent Authority, notified the Planning Authority on 17 May 2024 regarding their determination, under Section 170A(4)(b), that the proposed Amendment to the Cherrywood Planning Scheme constitutes a material change but which falls within the criteria set out in subsection 3(b). Notice is hereby given pursuant to Section 170A(7) of the Planning and Development Act, 2000, as amended, that a copy of the proposed Amendment, along with the Reports to Inform Screening for SEA and AA in accordance with subsection (6)(b) may be inspected at the following locations, during normal opening hours, for a specific period of not less than four weeks from Friday 31 May 2024 to Monday 1 July 2024 inclusive.
