## Proposal

Amendments to development permitted under Reg. Ref. DZ21A/0334 and is also an amendment to site development and landscape works permitted under Reg. Refs. DZ20A/0399, DZ21A/1069 and DZ21A/1042. The amendments to the site development and landscape works through the L1 tile are consistent with that under Planning Reg. Ref. DZ23A/0005. • Permission is also sought for the relocation of permitted temporary creche and its associated external play space from the ground floor of Building 3 to the ground floor of Building 2, including the temporary change of use at that location to accommodate the creche. The ground floor space in Building 3 accommodating the temporary creche will revert to its permanent use permitted under Reg. Ref: DZ21A/0334 as residential amenity use. The ground floor space in Building 2 now proposed to accommodate the temporary creche is permitted under Reg. Ref: DZ21A/0334 as residential amenity use as well as storage and cycle storage. The operation of the temporary creche will only be necessary if a permanent creche facility of commensurate or appropriate scale has not been applied for and approved on a site within the Tully and Lehaunstown Development Areas of the Planning Scheme in the ownership of the Applicant. Where a permanent creche facility of commensurate or appropriate scale has been applied for and approved on a site within the Tully and Lehaunstown Development Areas of the Planning Scheme and in the ownership of the Applicant, and the temporary creche is operational, the temporary creche facility, including the external play space, shall cease and the area that comprised the facility shall be converted and revert to the permanent uses permitted consistent with Condition 8 of Reg. Ref. DZ21A/0334.

### Condition 2

First Schedule
Reasons and Considerations
Having regard to the 'Residential' zoning of the site as set out in the Cherrywood Planning Scheme, as amended, and Dún Laoghaire - Rathdown County Development Plan 2022 - 2028, it is considered that subject to compliance with the conditions below, the proposed development would not seriously injure the amenities of the area and would not contravene materially the zoning of the application site or that of adjoining sites, subject to conditions and accords with the Planning Scheme.

Appropriate Assessment Screeening
Having regard to the nature and scale of the proposed development, as clarified by way of Significant Further Information received on 12.04.2024, it has been determined that the proposed development would not significantly impact upon a Natura 2000 Site.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Screening
Having regard to the nature and scale of the proposed development, as clarified by way of Significant Further Information received on 12.04.2024, which comprises an amendment to previously permitted development in a fully serviced urban location, it is considered that there is no real likelihood of significant effects on the environment arising from the proposed development.
