KEY AREA 8 Analysis 10.0 Key Site Design and Development Briefs Fallow Lands Existing Uses The lands contained within area 8 are located on the edge of the built up fabric of the town adjacent to Newbridge Demesne. The lands within the area are currently fallow. Topography The land gradually rises eastward from the lowest point along the western edge (9m) towards ‘the Cottage’ at the Square at 15m high. ¹The Record of Monuments and Places are afforded statutory protection under Section 12 of the National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994. Section 12 (3) of the above Act requires that any interference/work to a known archaeological site and/or within the RMP buffer should be notified in writing to the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government two months prior to the commencement of work. Prior to any development being considered within/proximate to the buffer and Protected Structures, consultation should be undertaken with Fingal County Council's Conservation Office and the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government. Protected Structures RMP Buffer Natural and Manmade Features The area is in close proximity to sites recorded in the Record of Monuments and Places¹. St. Patrick's Church of Ireland Church, a water pump and ‘the Cottage’ are also designated as protected structures. The archaeological buffer zone is outlined in blue in the above diagram. However its effect on area 8 is minimal. Trees and hedgerows occur on the western and southern boundary and are associated with Newbridge Demesne. Along these boundaries also there is an attractive distinctive natural stone wall. Physical and Visual Connections The survey process identified a number of physical connections into the area. A gated access point to the area is provided from Newbridge Avenue into the fallow lands to the south. Views south to the surrounding landscape are offered from Newbridge Avenue to the significant mature treegroups and stone wall associated with Newbridge Demesne. Donabate Urban Centre Strategy 73
