Dear Sir,

Re: County Draft Development Plan 1991 Ð 72 acres approx. Beverton, Donabate for "Bovale Developments Limited"

On behalf of my clients, I wish to made representations and list these below in support for changing the zoning of these lands to residential use.

I enclose a location map showing the lands edged red and further small scale plan showing how a pedestrian link could be planned to accommodate a short safe way to the school and shops.

Also enclosed is a layout plan showing a suggested layout for a housing development of 510 houses and incorporating a leisure centre.

There is an existing golf course to the north of this site and a new one to be built to the western boundary of the site known as Turvey House, these form natural boundaries for development. The site is also close to the centre of village and on the eastern side of the railway which means vehicles leaving this site quickly connect to the Belfast/Dublin Road without passing through the centre of the village.

These lands are immediately adjacent to the Kinane Development lands and any service road or footpath connections could be provided.

Bovale Developments Limited have built many houses in the Swords area and the only available lands now left for development are in a few hands, my clients therefore see this site in Donabate as a well located site for development which has the advantage of a good rail service for people working in Dublin and good roads for travelling to Dublin and the Airport.

The site is located within easy reach of the village school and shops and has the advantage of the local amenities such as beaches and Newbridge House and grounds.

Should this site be rezoned for residential development, my clients would be willing to phase the development in order that integration with the local community and services could take place at a reasonable pace.

There is a 12 “diameter public foul sewer in adjoining lands and surface water could be discharged through water courses to the tidal outfall to the north of this site.

It is, therefore, our contention that the above lands are well located and adjacent to the existing village with its amenities and would form a logical extension to same and would enhance the area with a good choice of house designs together with a new leisure centre which would be available for use by all the residents of the area.

We therefore urge your Council to give careful consideration to these lands and rezone them for residential use.
