S2S Communications History
Pre Planning Consultation
The proposal was presented to the North Central Area Committee on 17th September 2012 and on 19th November 2012.
Significant pre-planning discussion and consultation took place with all relevant stakeholders prior to the Part 8 planning process for this project.
The proposed S2S scheme was advertised on the Dublin City Council website and also in the Irish Times on Friday 14th December 2012. A total of 14 site notices were erected at key locations from just south of Wooden Bridge to just north of Causeway Road including at all major traffic junctions along that route.
Plans and particulars of the proposed scheme were available for public inspection for a six week period up to and including Monday 4th February 2013 at the following locations and times:
- Dublin City Council, Public Counter, Planning Department, Block 4, Ground Floor, Civic Offices, Wood Quay, Dublin 8, Monday-Friday 9.00am-4.30pm.
- Raheny Library, Howth Road, Dublin 5 between the hours of 10.00am-8.00pm Monday to Thursday, and 10.00am-5.00pm on Friday and Saturday.
A public information meeting was held on Tuesday 15th January 2013 at 7.30pm in Belgrove Girls School Hall, Seafield Road. This meeting was hosted by the Clontarf Residents Association and was attended by circa 180 people. A follow-up meeting was also held at 3pm on Friday 10th May 2013 in Conference Room 2, Northside Civic Centre, Bunratty Road, Coolock, Dublin 17. The NTA and their project consultants Roughan & O’Donovan were present and dealt with any additional or new queries that had not been addressed in the already comprehensive consultation process.
Members of the public were met on site at two meetings on 23rd April 2013. Representatives from DCC, the NTA and the design consultants were present.
Planning approval was granted on Monday 13th May 2013 at The City Council Meeting.
