Swords Masterplan - Fingal County Council

2. Malahide Road [see Cross Sections]
CHARACTER
● The northern edge is formed by the busy Malahide Road which as part of the
Pavilions Development shall contain a series of routes, access points, set
down areas and a junction with the inclined street, The Rise.
● A landscape corridor shall adjoin the Pavilions Development edge, linking
from the R132 via Malahide Road to Main Street.
DESIGN
● New buildings will have a parapet height along the Malahide Road which will
be consistent with the existing Pavilions height at c.15-17m
● Building above this height shall be set back and stepped in profile to avoid
any overlooking, overshadowing or excessive visual dominance of
neighbouring residential lands.
● Semi mature tree planting will occur along the length of the Pavilions site
facing onto Malahide Road. Such trees will be planted with an initial height
of 6m at 8m centres and positioned within prepared tree pits.
