My observation on Phase 1F of this development south of Station Road in Portmarnock focuses on the following:

• the urgent need to improve walking and cycling infrastructure in all directions from this area
• designing the new neighbourhood to prioritise walking and cycling, including by
  • clustering the car parking in one location
  • creating residential streets oriented towards walking and cycling rather than acting as car parking access routes
  • filtered permeability
  • designing residential streets which are shared between cycling and occasional vehicles rather than a separate cycletrack.
• not materially contravening the Fingal Development Plan limit on car parking
• providing for the childcare needs of the existing and future residents
