Perhaps not the right forum but could see none better....
Have just seen the planning application for the propsoed Cosgrove development at the Dun Laoghaire golf club site. As with most developments in areas which are very built up, the local infrastructure is already creaking the seams, yet the developer conveniently ignores the fact that the cars associated with over 800 new homes just won't fit on the local roads, and that the people living there just won't fit on the local buses and trains. Presumably this happens with other developments too. Is it just me or do others think that this is crazy?
It is great that there are to be new homes for people who need them, but how can developers get away without paying into the pot for road improvements and/or improved transport links?
