670.

View answerThe developer has confirmed that a project manager and architect have been appointed to oversee the development of the sports facilities and the appointment of other design team members is underway.
Dublin and Dun Laoghaire Education and Training Board have arranged a meeting with the developer to discuss the formulation of preliminary designs based on the standard requirements for educational PE facilities in line with Department of Education and Skills guidelines. A programme for delivery of the project forms part of the current discussions.
Once preliminary designs are available, arrangements will be made to consult with the relevant school representatives prior to planning submissions being made and it is anticipated that details of the programme for delivery will also be available at that point.
The developer has indicated that the overall Planning Scheme requirement for community facilities will form part of their plans. Officials from South Dublin County Council are involved in consultations with the developer in relation to this element.
