Dear Sir/Madam,
We, Brock McClure Planning & Development Consultants, 63 York Road, Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin are instructed by our client Frank & Robert McCarthy who owns land at Rugged Lane near Luttrelstown, Co. Dublin to make this submission to Fingal County Council in response to the Draft County Development Plan 2017-‐2023, which is currently on public display.

Draft Fingal County Development Plan 2017-‐2023
Within the Draft County Development Plan 2017-‐2023 the subject site is zoned objective ‘HA ’ with a stated objective ‘to protect and enhance high amenity areas’. The location of the subject site in the context of Map 13 – Blanchardstown South of the Draft Fingal County Development Plan 2017-‐2023 is shown below.

Burial Grounds is a use ‘permitted in principle’ under the ‘High Amenity’ Zoning objective.
Section 12.8 of the Draft Fingal County Development Plan relates to “Burial Grounds and Crematoria”, stating the following policy:
“Local Authorities have a statutory responsibility to provide for burial facilities. Many of the existing burial grounds within the County have reached or are nearing full capacity. Therefore, it will be necessary to provide additional burial grounds within the County over the next number of years.”
Objective DMS99 of the Development Plan states as follows:
“Provide and facilitate the development of additional burial grounds, including green graveyards / natural burial grounds in areas across Fingal as required during the life of the Development Plan and which preferably have good public transport links, taking cognisance of the needs of multi-‐faith and non-‐religious communities.”

Map based Objective 130 is located on lands to the north of the subject site and reads as follows:
“Provide for a burial ground of up to 4 hectares within the Kellystown area. This site is to be identified as part of, or in advance of, the adoption of Kellystown LAP”.
The relevant section of Draft Development Plan Map – Sheet 13 illustrating Objective 130 within LAP area 13.C is shown below.

Our client is seeking to have a similar Map based objective applied to their land at Rugged Land – outlined in Figure 1. Specifically our client is seeking to have an additional objective added to Map 13 of the Draft Fingal County Development Plan 2017-‐2023. The additional objective proposed is as follows:
“Provide for a burial ground of up to 3 hectares within the Rugged Lane area”
Given the acknowledged capacity issues at existing burial ground facilities in the county the subject site could suitably accommodate an additional facility and we recommend Council to include this additional objective to strengthen the fact that Burial Ground is “Permitted in Principle” on “HA – High Amenity” zoned lands at this location.
Furthermore, our clients have undertaken preliminary site investigation works, which confirm this location as an appropriate site for a burial ground.
