Project Description

Responsible for all planning inputs and advice to the Study Team. In respect of the Depot and Northern Section, the aim was to ensure that the final location and the layout of the Depot, line and associated stations will be compatible with the broad planning intention for the area, be acceptable to Government Departments and ultimately to the Town Planning Board. Potential property developments were investigated in terms of, inter alia, planning, traffic, environmental, property market, engineering and architectural considerations. Recommended developments are expected to have no adverse impacts on infrastructural capacity, the existing road network, the environment, the local community and the urban design and visual context of the area. For the Western Section, above station property developments were similarly planned and supporting documentation to secure planning approvals was prepared.
