Fingal County Council is starting its Development Plan process. My submission A Development Plan for a Sustainable Fingal doesn’t try to address the full breadth of the Plan, but focusses on a few issues which need attention:

• Quantitative assessment of climate impact
• Coastal monitoring and protection of sand dunes which are natural coastal protection
• Duty of active dissemination of environmental information
• Access to the Coast, Protection and Improvement of Coastal Amenities and Biodiversity, Blue Flags
• Baldoyle and Kilbarrack Industrial Estates
• Public Rights of Way
• Active Travel, particularly to school
• Demand Management
• Sustainable Urban Drainage
• Sewage overflows and misconnections
• Asssessment of transport infrastructure options including for the South Fringe/North Fringe area

The submissions from the public at this stage of the will inform the writing of the Draft Plan, which will go to public display in February 2022.
