Cessation of plans to re-zone the only usable Open Space for Clairville Lodge
Final supporters
Cessation of plans to re-zone the only usable Open Space for Clairville Lodge, Streamstown Meadows and surround homes to Community infrastructure.
We the residents of Streamstown Malahide seek the current plans in the Fingal Development Plan for the lands at Clairville Lodge to remain open space.
- The parcel of land requested to re-zone is and has been utilised by our children for sports and games for the past couple of years and over the lockdown provided a huge amenity to the children of Clairville and is also now enjoyed by the children of Streamstown Meadows.
- We understand planning permission was approved for this site but this has expired years ago and it now feels like the developer has decided he can make a choice to rezone an open space for his benefit while not observing the needs of the immediate residents.
- We understand there is a big need for childcare in the area however if this location is considered based on the current strategic objectives of the sustainable building framework, we feel there are much better locations which would promote pedestrian or cyclist access. The current proposed site is only services by Streamstown lane which has no safe pedestrian access and no plans or possibility for upgrade.
- We feel the rezoning of a residential open space would not happen at a mature estate in Malahide or Portmarnock if a developer then felt like they wanted the land rezoned. We would like to be treated fairly as a part of the electoral community.

This is a very important piece of green space for our families in Clairville. No one has any interest in a crèche after living here since the build was opened in 2018? We have all organised our kids already !
Streamstown lane is a narrow single lane , and does not permit children To safely cycle or even walk on road . Maintaining The green space at Clairville lodge is essential for play and recreation , to allow families to meet and groups play ball, run and to feel safe .
I have lived in Streamstown since the early 80s and have seen huge growth and change in the area since then. The lands in question are used not only by the families living in Claireville Lodge but also those from Park Avenue, Streamstown Wood, Streamstown Meadows and my own children and neighbours who live further up the lane. This area has inadvertently brought a sense of community to the area where both children and adults have come to gather and it would be a great shame to take that away.
I would prefer the clairville green to be kept re-zoned green space as this is the only sizeable safe space for the kids of our estate to play on. The other reason is the lack of safe driving access via Streamstown Lane. As it stands we ALL have to pull in for one another to access the Dublin road on Streamstown Lane. There is no two way access
Rounding the corner to Clairville to see the children playing on the green is a happy sign of being home. Taking this amenity away from our community would be a huge shame. As a Dad of a 4 year old and with another baby coming at Christmas I feel well placed to state that we do not need a crèche but instead to retain the space as is for the residents of Streamstown.
This rezoning plan is outrageous
I think this area should be retained for people to enjoy

Cannot begin to imagine the traffic chaos that would arise if a creche was built in this area. Roads are too narrow in parts for 2 way traffic, they have little, if any pedestrian access or safe cycle ways. The land is best used for recreation purposes and to provide a safe environment for children to play together
