Greystones\Delgany rezoning proposal (@ St Laurence's School)

loyatemu

This may be of interest to anyone with kids in St Laurences - Wicklow Co. Co. want to rezone the open ground behind the school to provide for an all-weather pitch, carparking, and 132 houses access for most of the houses to be via a junction beside the school (though the under-construction "Delgany Bypass" may mean this traffic doesn't right past the school, its not entirely clear).

If you want to make a submission on this you have until Feb 8th.

It would be nice to have any sort of amenity up here. The "Resource Centre" which is supposedly available for use by the entire community cant have anything run in it twice because of complaints.

Saying that though, I cant see where/how any big trucks/lorries will get access to the eastern side of the development. The only access routes would be through either Kenmare Heights or Kindlestown and the roads here are very narrow at points.

Really, another 132 houses ?

I wonder do people know that this land was owned by the late Dr. Ryan who bequethed it to the nuns in Greystones for the provision of a second level school as well as the site for Saint Laurence's Primary School. This land is now owned by a builder. Guess who pocketed the money made on this sale. In the future when a site is required for the building of a secondary school in the Greystones area will the residents and Government have to fund the purchase of land.
