“To ask the Chief Executive if he would support the provision of a
designated RC area in the proposed Swords Regional Park to allow
drone enthusiasts engage in their hobby in a controlled environment
and in accordance with IAA requirements (max altitude 15m, weight
under 1kg)?”

The Council would be happy to engage with an organised group of drone
enthusiasts to assess their requirements and to determine if and how
best these requirements can be accommodated in one of our parks
having regard to the provisions of the Parks and Open Spaces Bye-laws.

Question: Councillor D. Smith
“To ask the Chief Executive what are the plans for the disused road which
bounds the North of the Ashton Broc Estate between it, and the
Broadmeadow Linear Park, are their plans to open this road and can any
maps related to its future use be provided?”

 

Reply:
The disused road has been constructed to the boundary of the
developer’s property but has not been taken-in-charge. The neighbouring
developer has a number of permissions on lands approaching, but not
reaching, the disused road. It may be possible for the neighbouring
developer to link a road to the disused road.
The Oldtown Mooretown LAP indicates a pedestrian/cyclist connection
from this road into the pedestrian/cyclist network in Oldtown. The map
for the LAP is available at

The County Development Plan shows a proposed road from Oldtown to
the R132 south of the Lissenhall junction on the M1. It does not specify a
linkage to the disused road. The map (Sheet 8 Swords) is available at
