Transport and Movement

 

The village is located mid-way between Malahide to the north and Balgriffin to the south and is surrounded by greenbelt. The busy Malahide Road (R107) runs north-south to the west of the existing village. Chapel Road, which splits the village runs east-west and forms a junction with the R107 at the Parish Church of St. Nicholas of Myra, a Protected Structure. The village Centre is based around the parish church, cottages and the relatively recently developed lands at St. Olave’s local centre and residential development. Functionally, the village can be described as a commuter village under development pressure. The LAP will address issues such as transport, car parking, quality of the links to the surrounding area as well as the future provision of pedestrian and cycle tracks.

 

The junction of Malahide Road and Chapel Road will also be signalised as a condition of planning permission for a residential development within the village.

 

  • How walkable is Kinsaley? Do you find the village centre easy to get around?

 

  • What improvements could be made to public transport links?

 

  • What  measures  are  needed  to  create  safe,  good  quality  and  attractive streets for people to move around, socialise and do business?

 

  • How can the use of public transport, cycling and walking be promoted so that people can rely less on private cars.

 

  • How  can  transport  facilities  for  the  elderly  and  mobility  impaired  be improved? Is additional parking required? If so, where should it be located?

 

Infrastructure

The development of the village as well as its enjoyment by current residents is dependent on the satisfactory provision of service infrastructure, utilities, energy and communication networks. The provision of necessary infrastructure and utilities will also be critical to the future sustainable development of the area. Infrastructure includes elements such as wastewater disposal, surface water disposal, Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), water supply and quality, waste management, energy infrastructure, telecommunications and broadband. Irish Water manage foul and drainage water supply. There is a current Planning Application under assessment (F18A/0041) for a new waste water pumping station at Chapel Road.

 

  • Have you noticed problems with flooding or drainage of surface water in the village?

 

  • Surface water attenuation ponds are sometimes developed as high quality landscaped features. Do you think that would work in Kinsaley?

 

  • Is the village’s infrastructure including telecommunications, broadband and energy satisfactory?
