The first Strategic Housing Development planning application at Auburn SHD was turned down by An Bord Pleanála. (See my submission here.) A new application has come in with some minor changes, but still with no walking routes northward to connect up with Malahide and the Swords Road (and 102 bus route). So my observation again points to the accumulation of policy which commits to ensuring that new residential areas are walkable and asks An Bord Pleanála to follow national, regional, county and local policy.
