Dún Laoghaire- Rathdown County Council (DLRCC) have identified a number of suitable locations for the development of all-weather pitches within schools in the county. DLRCC is partnering with the Edmund Rice Schools Trust, Oatlands College and Oatlands Primary School to develop an all-weather pitch at Oatlands College, Stillorgan, Co. Dublin. Currently there is a grass playing pitch at the proposed location used by Oatlands College and Oatlands Primary School, as well as local sports clubs for matches and training. There is currently a great demand by sports clubs locally for all-weather facilities across multiple sports.
The construction of a floodlit, all-weather pitch in this location would allow the pitch to be used much more intensively by the school and sports clubs outside of school hours, and in particular during the winter months. The proposed facility will provide a 135m x 86m floodlit pitch accommodating a championship-sized GAA pitch (130 x 80m), a soccer pitch (100 x 60m) and cross-field play (see computer generated image in figure 1 below).
Pre-Part VIII planning consultation has taken place with local stakeholders, including adjoining residents, school staff, pupils and sports clubs. Various aspects raised during this initial consultation have been considered as part of the design process, including traffic management, lighting and impacts on flora and fauna.
