MAP SHEET 8: Swords

Select, where provided, the reference for the amendment on which you wish to comment , or for flood maps, the drawing ref number: 

The recommended zoning of ‘MRE – Metro & Rail Economic Corridor’ at the subject site facilitates opportunities for high density mixed use employment generating activity and commercial development, and supports the provision of an appropriate quantum of residential development adjacent to metro, rail and light rail stations. 

Our client welcomes the conclusion by Fingal County Council that this is a key development site that has the potential to deliver on a much more appropriate mix of uses that would benefit from the exceptional connectivity of the site and location in proximity to a range of services and amenities. The Council will be aware that since the Draft Development Plan was prepared, a Railway Order (ABP Ref 314724-22) for the Metrolink project has been submitted to An Bord Pleanala. The Order will result in a temporary and permanent landtake of the subject site in order to deliver the Metrolink project. October Investments is supportive of this significant piece of public transport infrastructure and it is wholly appropriate that the subject site is re-zoned to reflect its strategic context in relation to Metrolink.

October Investments Ltd is an established developer actively engaged on preparing a development scheme for the subject site, based on the zoning proposed in this alteration to the Draft Plan. The landowner is keen to bring development forward for planning permission once this proposed amendment is formally adopted.

On behalf of October Investments Limited we confirm that we welcome the material alteration noted above – PA SH 8.2. and trust that the proposed alteration will be formally adopted into the new County Development Plan.
