- 5.7 Demand Management and Travel Planning 5.7.1 Policy Objective T16: Travel Demand Management It is a Policy Objective, in conjunction and cooperation with other agencies, to implement Travel Demand Management measures aimed at reducing the demand for travel and increasing the efficiency of the transport network with due consideration given to the effect of parking controls on nearby residential roads. (Consistent with RPO 8.7 of the RSES) Traffic Demand Management covers a range of measures aimed at reducing the adverse impacts of car use and promoting the use of sustainable travel modes. It is the implementation of measures that seek to change travel demand patterns and travel behaviour targeted at reducing the need to travel, reducing the amount and length of single occupancy car trips and encouraging walking and cycling and use of public transport, in preference to car based travel and the avoidance of adding more physical capacity for travel (such as more roads, bus and train services etc). It is part of the ‘Shift’ in the ‘Avoid - Shift – Improve’ strategic approach. 5.7.2 Policy Objective T17: Travel Plans It is a Policy Objective to require the submission of Travel Plans for developments that generate significant trip demand (reference also Appendix 3 for Development Management Thresholds). Travel Plans should seek to reduce reliance on car based travel and encourage more sustainable modes of transport over the lifetime of a development. (Consistent with RPO 8.7 of the RSES) A Travel Plan is a long-term management strategy employed by an organisation that seeks to promote and deliver sustainable transport objectives through positive action and is articulated in a document that is regularly reviewed. It involves the development of agreed and explicit outcomes, linked to an appropriate package of measures, aimed at encouraging more sustainable travel for people and goods. 5.7.3 Policy Objective T18: Car Sharing Schemes It is a Policy Objective to support the set up and operation of car sharing schemes to facilitate an overall reduction in car journeys and car parking requirements. Car sharing schemes involve members pre-booking the use of communal cars for their personal use, thereby reducing the number of cars on the roads and helping the environment. They allow members access to a car when they need it, from a place near their home or workplace, without the potential difficulties or costs of owning a car. They are an important method of facilitating the reduction of car ownership and supporting the shift to low carbon modes. The Council will seek - in accordance with the ‘Sustainable Urban Housing: Design Standards for New Apartments Guidelines for Planning Authorities’ (2020) - the provision of car clubs in residential developments particularly where a reduction in car parking is being sought. 5.7.4 Policy Objective T19: Carparking Standards It is a Policy Objective to manage carparking as part of the overall strategic transport needs of the County in accordance with the parking standards set out in Section 12.4.5. This Plan includes comprehensive car parking standards which are set out in Section 12.4.5. Four parking zones have been established for the County with the aim of ensuring adequate residential parking/car storage and control of destination carparking (non-residential uses), whilst also allowing greater flexibility in car parking standards on sites well served by public transport (as shown on Supplementary Map T2). Zone 1 covers the two Major Town Centres of Dun Laoghaire and Dundrum plus Blackrock District Centre. Zone 2 covers additional areas that are well served by public transport (see Section 12.4.5.1 for detailed parameters pertaining to Zone 2). Zone 3 includes the remaining built up areas of the County whilst Zone 4 is the rural area. While a maximum standard is provided for nonresidential uses (destination parking), the Planning Authority - in recognition of the fact that car usage may be required for non-peak hour trips, resulting in the need for car storage – have retained a standard for residential car parking in areas outside of Zone 1. 5.7.5 Policy Objective T20: Control of On- Street Parking It is a Policy Objective to regulate and control on-street parking by discouraging commuter parking. In the control and regulation of on-street car parking, the Council will provide for the shortterm and long-term parking needs of local residents, rather than long-term commuter parking 113Transport and MobilityChapter 5
- requirements and allow for short-term retail parking. The Council will extend its current Car Parking Control Scheme into other areas of the County as appropriate through the Parking Control Bye-Laws where such controls will contribute to improved traffic management, reduced traffic congestion and an improvement in the quality of life of the local residents. Areas in the County will be identified for the provision of Heavy Goods Vehicle parking when/if the need arises. The Council will facilitate the provision of car parking spaces for the charging of electric vehicles at appropriate locations. 5.7.6 Policy Objective T21: Park and Ride It is a Policy Objective to liaise with the Park and Ride Office of the NTA to facilitate the provision of Park and Ride facilities, both short term and long term and to provide suitable electric charging structures and adequate cycle parking, in appropriate locations along strategic transport corridors, including Woodbrook and Carrickmines and other suitable sites to be identified with the NTA Park and Ride Office, subject to the outcome of environmental assessment and planning approval. (Consistent with RPO 8.14 of the RSES) A Park and Ride Office was established by the NTA in 2020 to co-ordinate the delivery of park and ride facilities and a Park and Ride Strategy is in preparation for the Greater Dublin Area. It is anticipated that this will include sites in the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Area. The NTA have indicated that they will consider temporary shorter- term park and ride facilities including bus-based park and ride which could complement public transport on key transport corridors such as the N11 subject to compliance with the principles set out in the Park and Ride Strategy. The Council will support the provision of a new Park and Ride at Woodbrook and enhanced Park and Ride facilities at Carrickmines in accordance with Table 8.5 and RPO 8.14 of the RSES. In addition, other Park and Ride development and enhancement in appropriate locations will be considered. Any Park and Ride at Woodbrook shall be carried out in tandem with the improvement of the local road network. The RSES and the existing NTA Strategy for the GDA identifies the need for Park and Ride facilities in the vicinity of Woodbrook-Shanganagh. It is anticipated that permanent Park and Ride facilities may be provided at a location proximate to the south-eastern commuter line to serve the broader Bray, Woodbrook-Shanganagh and Fassaroe area. The provision of a Strategic Park and Ride should not however undermine the capacity of existing or planned infrastructure to provide for the development of the immediate area. Park and Ride sites should be located in more peripheral areas, on the fringes of the Dublin Metropolitan Area, where the road network has capacity to absorb the impact of traffic generated by the Park and Ride and not be located where they might encourage people who would otherwise access public transport locally to drive further to access a site, thereby adding to congestion. Complementary car parking controls in the environs of key Park and Ride car parks may be required, particularly in the case where the car park is charged for or it is regularly oversubscribed. Consideration should be given to suitable charging structures for Park and Ride facilities to ensure that only those who most need the service - public transport users - obtain parking. Cycle parking and cycle facilities provision at rail-based Park and Ride facilities shall be in accordance with the requirements in the Council’s ‘Standards for Cycle Parking and associated Cycling Facilities for New Developments’ (2018). 5.7.7 Policy objective T22: Taxi/Minibus/ Hackney Transport It is a Policy Objective to facilitate the provision of taxi/minibus/hackney transport as a feeder service to major public transport corridors and to encourage the provision of taxi ranks at DART Stations, Luas stops, key bus stations and at other appropriate locations - including within larger residential, commercial and/or mixed-use developments. Taxis provide door-to door transport for those without access to a car or a scheduled public transport service. They also provide a means of travel for the mobility impaired or those carrying heavy or bulky luggage that precludes them from using scheduled public transport. Taxis can enable people at some remove from the scheduled public transport network to access those services, effectively extending the reach of public transport. Taxis can also act as a substitute for scheduled public transport services, particularly in areas of dispersed population or at night. To support these roles, measures to improve the integration of the taxi into the public transport network will continue to be pursued. All new taxi ranks will be made wheelchair accessible. 114dlrcoco | County Development Plan 2022-2028
- 5.8 Road and Street Network 5.8.1 Policy Objective T23: Roads and Streets It is a Policy Objective, in conjunction and co-operation with other transport bodies and authorities such as the TII and the NTA, to secure improvements to the County road network – including improved pedestrian and cycle facilities, subject to the outcome of environmental assessment (SEA, EIA and AA), flood risk assessment and the planning process (RPO 8.10, RPO 8.16) New road projects, traffic management and active travel upgrades shall ensure that any alterations to the traffic on adjoining roads shall not compromise pedestrian and cyclist safety and convenience. The majority of DLR’s 6 Year road proposals primarily consist of safety and facilities improvements for pedestrians and cyclists. All road projects listed and unlisted in this Plan will consider all modes (walking, cycling and, if appropriate, bus) in accordance with DMURS and the National Cycle Manual. The 6 Year and Long Term Roads Objective/Traffic Management/Active Travel Upgrades proposed by the Council are listed in Table 5.3 and Table 5.4 below and most are displayed graphically on the 14 no. Development Plan Maps. Some roads and upgrades will be provided by the Local Authority and others will be provided by developers. It should be noted that the roads shown on the Maps are purely diagrammatic with regard to location and dimensions. Variations and/or adjustments may be necessary as projects progress.

The priority of certain road schemes in Table 5.3 may be transferable to Table 5.4 and vice versa subject to the availability of resources. In addition, the lists are not intended to be exclusive to the schemes listed, as other supplementary road schemes may require to be introduced as zoned infill sites are developed, in response to changing circumstances and/or as traffic demands require. All roads, streets and footbridges, including footpaths and cycle tracks, will be designed in accordance with best practice guidelines and will consider the needs of all road users. To secure the implementation of the policy objectives, it is the intention of the Council to reserve any necessary lands free from development and to designate building lines, where required. Appropriate high quality landscaping (soft and hard) will be included on relevant Roads Objectives projects to soften the visual impact of the scheme and enhance its appearance. Smaller-scale schemes, such as minor junction improvements, traffic management improvements and the provision of footpaths, are not shown on the Development Plan Maps nor are they included in the Written Statement. In some instances, delivery will be part Local Authority and part developer driven. This may also be subject to change. In addition, it is a Long Term Objective of the Council to retain Kilgobbin Road, between Ballyogan Road and Kilgobbin Lane as an attractive ‘country’ road. It is also a Long Term Objective of the Council to retain Quinn’s Road, Shankill, between the railway bridge and the sea, as an attractive ‘country’ road. It is also an objective to carry out a Traffic Management Scheme on the Brennanstown Road (refer also to SLO73). The Traffic Management Scheme will: M Provide improved facilities for vulnerable road users; M Reduce traffic speeds and improve safety; M Reduce through traffic; and, M Ensure boundary treatment and landscaping solutions mitigate the impacts on the Sylvan setting of Brennanstown Road. Any road proposals shall be subject to Appropriate Assessment Screening. 5.8.2 Policy Objective T24: Motorway and National Routes It is a Policy Objective to promote, facilitate and cooperate with relevant transport bodies, authorities and agencies to secure improvements to the County’s Motorway and National road network to provide, protect and maintain for the safe and efficient movement of people and goods both within and through Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown. The introduction of variable speed limits, better incident detection and demand management would protect the national function of these routes. In accordance with RPO 8.10 of the RSES it is a Policy Objective to support the delivery of the appraisal and delivery of the M11 Junction 4 to Kilmacanogue Scheme subject to the outcome of environmental assessment and the planning process (consistent with RPO 8.10 and 8.16 of the RSES). The Council will support the improvement and protection of the EU TEN-T (Trans-European Network for Transport) network to strengthen access routes to Ireland’s ports, including investment in the ongoing development of the N11/M11 (consistent with RPO 8.16 of the RSES). In accordance with Section 2.9 of the ‘Spatial 116dlrcoco | County Development Plan 2022-2028
- Planning and National Road Guidelines for Planning Authorities’, the Council will protect the potential route corridors within the N11/ M11 Scheme and thereafter the preferred route corridor selected and prohibit development that could prejudice their future delivery. The Council will facilitate the protection of all National routes and associated junctions in accordance with TII’s Policy and the Department of Environment, Community and Local Government’s ‘Spatial Planning and National Roads Guidelines for Planning Authorities’ (2012). The Council will take due cognisance of the M50 Demand Management Report (April 2014) and work alongside all other stakeholders - including the TII and NTA - in implementing the various measures required to ensure that the strategic function of the M50 is protected and growth in travel demand is managed, as set out in the Report. 5.8.3 Policy Objective T25: Environmental Assessment of New Roads It is a Policy Objective that where projects for new roads, identified under Section 5.8, are not already provided for by existing plans/ programme or are not already permitted, that the feasibility of progressing these projects shall be examined, taking into account environmental sensitivities as identified in the SEA Environmental Report (including greenhouse gas emissions and other emissions to air) and the objectives of the Plan relating to sustainable mobility. A Corridor and Route Selection Process will be undertaken where appropriate, for relevant new road infrastructure in two stages: Stage 1 – Route Corridor Identification, Evaluation and Selection and Stage 2 – Route Identification, Evaluation and Selection. In implementing this Objective, the Council will comply with any national policy or guidelines issued relating to the assessment of greenhouse gas emissions and other emissions to air for new transport projects. 5.8.4 Policy Objective T26: Traffic and Transport Assessments and Road Safety Audits It is a Policy Objective to require Traffic and Transport Assessments and/or Road Safety Audits for major developments – in accordance with the TII’s ‘Traffic and Transport Assessment Guidelines’ (2014) - to assess the traffic impacts on the surrounding road network and provide measures to mitigate any adverse impacts - all in accordance with best practice guidelines. Traffic and Transport Assessment is a methodology used to assess the transport impacts of a proposed development, incorporating any subsequent measures necessary to ensure roads and junctions and other transport infrastructure in the vicinity of the development remains fit for purpose and encourages a shift towards sustainable travel modes (refer also to Section 12.4.1 and Appendix 3 ‘Development Management Thresholds’). 5.8.5 Policy Objective T27: Traffic Noise It is a Policy Objective to ensure that traffic noise levels are considered as part of new developments along major roads/rail lines in accordance with best practice guidelines. Along major transport corridors, the effect of traffic noise on the development must be considered and appropriate measures undertaken to mitigate the effect of noise. This should be considered in the context of the ‘Dublin Agglomeration Environmental Noise Action Plan 2018-2023’. The Noise Action Plan is aimed at managing environmental noise and excludes, for the most part, noise from domestic activities, noise created by neighbours, noise at work places or construction noise. In the planning and design of national road schemes, cognisance must be given to the National Road Authority document ‘Guidelines for the Treatment of Noise and Vibration in National Road Schemes’ (2004) and to the subsequent supplementary document ‘Good Practice Guidance for the Treatment of Noise during the Planning of National Road Schemes’ (2014). 5.8.6 Policy Objective T28: Road Safety It is a Policy Objective to implement a Council Road Safety Plan in line with the emerging Government Road Safety Strategy 2021 to 2030 in conjunction with relevant stakeholders and agencies. Reducing the risk of collisions for all road users is a key objective of the Council. The Road Safety Authority is developing a new Government Road Safety Strategy which will run from 2021 to 2030. It will have a Vision Zero approach at its core. Vision Zero is a best-practice strategy, adopted by other countries in EU, that aims to end all road traffic fatalities and serious injuries by 2050. The Council’s new Road Safety Plan will be developed in line with the Government’s Road Safety Strategy and in conjunction with relevant stakeholders and agencies. Active Travel Routes and School Traffic Zones (reduced speed limits, speed reduction measures, road marking, signage etc.) will continue to be developed and school wardens provided or retained near schools where warranted in order to encourage good user behaviour for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians on roads, footways and crossing points approaching schools. 117Transport and MobilityChapter 5
- 5.8.7 Policy Objective T29: Traffic Management It is a Policy Objective to introduce Traffic Management Schemes on particular roads and in appropriate areas throughout the County to reduce vehicle speeds to an acceptable level and to reduce the potential for traffic congestion and associated vehicular emissions in urban areas. In the design of Traffic Management Schemes, designers will be encouraged to ensure that the needs of all road users are considered in such schemes and to mitigate any likely possible negative effects including the potential impact of traffic diverting to the surrounding road network. Designers will also be encouraged to consider the effects of traffic evaporation within the area of the Traffic Management Scheme. All new residential development must be designed in accordance with the requirements set out in DMURS. This Manual sets out design guidance and standards for constructing new, and reconfiguring existing, urban roads and streets in Ireland by incorporating good planning and design practice to create low speed environments in urban areas. A new speed limit of 30 km per hour was introduced for 742 housing estates within the County from July 2017. 5.8.8 Policy Objective T30: Street Lighting It is a Policy Objective to provide and maintain street lighting on the public road/footway/ cycleways throughout the County in accordance with commonly accepted best practice, the Council’s public lighting masterplan and the upgrade of sodium lights to LEDs. To ensure well-lit roads, footways and cycleways, all street lighting will be provided in accordance with best practice guidelines and standards in terms of the type of lighting columns, lantern types, lighting class, lux levels and energy efficient lanterns being provided (refer to Section 12.4.4). The continued upgrading of public lighting by replacing sodium lights with LEDs and deploying Central Management Systems in the interest of reducing the energy demand identified as Action E2 in the Council’s ‘Climate Change Action Plan 2019-2024’. This is a measure which contributes to the reduction of GHGs. 5.8.9 Policy Objective T31: Accessibility It is a Policy Objective to support suitable access for people with disabilities, including improvements to transport, streets and public spaces. Accessibility primarily concerns people with reduced mobility, persons with disabilities, older persons and children. (Consistent with RPO 9.1 and 9.10 of the RSES) Accessibility and inclusivity are vital for the full participation of all groups in the social and economic life of the County. Disability legislation places obligations on public bodies to ensure their services are accessible to all vulnerable road users. Inclusiveness and accessibility will be key considerations in the design of all facilities for pedestrians, cyclists and public transport passengers, including persons with disabilities. The Local Authority support a ‘whole journey approach’ to make public transport fully accessible to persons with disabilities which includes supporting a universal design approach to the built environment in accordance the Government’s ‘National Disability Inclusion Strategy,’ 2017- 2021. In this regard improving the accessibility to parks and other permeability routes is an important action which the Council is undertaking to improve access for all throughout the County. All developments shall be in accordance with Technical Guidance Document M of the Building Regulations 2010 and shall meet the accessibility requirements contained within DMURS. Furthermore, the Council should have regard to the obligations under Article 9 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (ratified by Ireland in 2018), “toenable personswithdisabilitiestoliveindependentlyand participatefullyinallaspectsoflife”. 5.8.10 Policy Objective T32: Personal Safety It is a Policy Objective to provide and support initiatives that will promote the personal safety of women and vulnerable users who are using all forms of public transport as well as motorists, cyclists and pedestrians. This would include all Luas, DART and bus stops, carparks, cycle parking facilities, laneways and other areas of common use. Initiatives could include well lit surroundings, use of CCTV. There would also be an emphasis on placing entrances/exits to public transport and cycle facilities close to busy built up areas. 5.8.11 Policy Objective T33: Directional/ Information/ Waymarking Signage It is a Policy Objective to provide directional signage for amenities, tourist attractions and local attractions and along cycle and pedestrian routes (waymarking) at appropriate locations throughout the County in accordance with planning and traffic regulations. In accordance with Council guidelines and subject to Council approval, directional signage will be permitted at appropriate locations for amenities, tourist attractions, community facilities and local attractions but not for commercial organisations - in order to avoid a proliferation of signs on public footways leading to street clutter and existing signposts or poles should be used, where possible, in favour of the installation of new ones. Temporary event signage may be permitted in certain cases subject to Council approval. Fingerpost signage is the preferred type of directional signage. Signage must be erected such that it does not result in traffic hazard.118dlrcoco | County Development Plan 2022-2028
- 5.9 Ports 5.9.1 Policy Objective T34: Access and Ports It is a Policy Objective to improve access to and support the continued development of Dún Laoghaire Port as a marine related asset in accordance with the 2013 ‘National Ports Policy’. (Consistent with RPO 8.23 of the RSES) The Council recognises the importance of Dún Laoghaire Port as a port of regional significance and consequently strongly supports any improvements in terms of accessibility for all modes. Improvements to the accessibility of Dún Laoghaire Port shall take full cognisance of the need to protect and preserve the historic streetscapes, vistas and built heritage of Dún Laoghaire and the quality of life of local residential communities adjacent to the Port. Dún Laoghaire Harbour 119Transport and MobilityChapter 5
- 5.10 Contributions 5.10.1 Policy Objective T35: Section 48 and 49 Levies It is a Policy Objective to utilise, where appropriate, the provisions of Section 48 and 49 of the Planning and Development Act, 2000, to generate financial contributions towards the capital costs of providing local and strategic transport infrastructure, services or projects in the County. This will be carried out in conjunction with adjoining Local Authorities where appropriate. Financial contributions will be sought - as part of the Development Management process - for certain developments under the provisions of Section 48 and Section 49 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended). Section 48 (General) Schemes relate to the existing or proposed provision of public infrastructure and facilities being developed benefiting development within the area of the Planning Authority and are applied as a general levy on development. A ‘special’ contribution under Section 48(2)(c) may be required where specific exceptional costs not covered by a Scheme, but which may benefit the proposed development are incurred by a Local Authority. Section 49 (Supplementary) Schemes relate to the separately specified infrastructural service or projects – such as roads, rail, or other public transport infrastructure, which benefit the proposed development. Where Schemes overlap with another Local Authority, the Section 49 Scheme will be developed in conjunction with that Local Authority. Two Section 49 Schemes have already been approved and currently operate in the County, namely: M Luas Line B1 extension between Sandyford and Cherrywood. M Glenamuck District Distributor Road linking the Kiltiernan/Glenamuck area to the M50 Motorway network. To avoid map clutter the two ‘active’ Section 49 Schemes have not been shown on the Development Plan Maps, but are instead detailed on Map No. T1 (refer to Supplementary Mapping Booklet). The Luas Line B1 catchment is defined by an area of 1 kilometer ‘as the crow flies’ distance either side of the light rail alignment. The Glenamuck District Distributor Road Section 49 catchment encompasses the area defined by the Kiltiernan/ Glenamuck Local Area Plan boundary.
