Rath Ullord zoning

Re Rath Ullord Zoning

Dear Sir/ Madam

I believe that the Rath Ullord estate should remain as a low density housing development.

I feel that the low-density zoning that the residents have bought under and the developer has marketed and sold the estate under would be the most suitable for the following reasons:

Reasons for Rath Ullord to be zoned Low density and unsuitablity for higher densities:

• Peripheral location on the edge of the city.
• Lies Outside Neighbourhood area of Newpark.
• Existing low-density housing and planning permissions in place.
• One estate with two different zoning objectives is not desirable.
• Possibility of new planning applications by developer to change to higher density of an estate already under construction and partly inhabited.
• Lies outside 10-minute city area.
• Lack of public transport links.
• Lack of access to schools, retail and places of worship.
• Higher density in peripheral location will lead to more private car journeys.
• Low density zoning is a positive tool to prevent one off houses in the countryside.

Thank you for taking this submission into consideration.

Yours Faithfully,

David Rouse
