Kiltiernan/ Glenamuck Local Area Plan 2007 Appendix C: Vegetation The HCLA Study recommends undertaking a detailed ranking survey of the hedgerows, which could qualify the sustainability Landscape Types within of these important resources. This is particularly important considering that land, which has been zoned for future the LAP Area development, contains mature hedgerows. The main tree/shrub species of the hedgerows are: Ash, hawthorn, blackthorn, sycamore, oak, willow, holly, blackberry, elderberry and elm. • Woodland There is limited woodland cover in the Kiltiernan/Glenamuck • Grassland area. In some instances the mature hedgerows give way to A significant proportion of the land is currently grazed or in a linear wooded areas.

The grasslands to the west of the R117 The species found in these wooded areas are not greatly are generally on shallower mineral soils than those to the east. different from those of the hedgerows. The land on the west rises to scrub vegetation and then into A wooded strip, located along the south-eastern perimeter of coniferous woodland. The shallow mineral soils in this area the LAP area and zoned ‘Objective G’, is of interest because it are also prone to have more exposed boulder material.

The The most significant habitat type in the LAP area is hedgerow. grass is fertilised and cut and limited to a few grass species. Many of the hedgerows have a high biodiversity and preliminary On the western side of Glenamuck Road, there is an area given inspection undertaken during the HCLA study, identified those over to cereal production. Cereal production is an intensive classified as being mature as being over one hundred years form of agriculture requiring high inputs of fertilizer, pest/weed old.

• Gardens The houses in the Kiltiernan / Glenamuck area have for the most part mature gardens with a variety of native and exotic species. Mature poplar, eucalyptus and cypresses are found in gardens with beech, oak, ash, willow and birch. These are often mature trees and give a sense of continuity or linkage to the surrounding countryside and in particular to the hedgerows and wooded patches. 108
Kiltiernan/ Glenamuck Local Area Plan 2007 Appendix D: Relevant Landscape Character Areas Description Sensitivity/Strategy 5. Kilternan Plain • The area has accommodated much change generated by the pressures of being adjacent to a large urban area. The This is a large enclosure, which comprises the hillocky plain village of Stepaside will accommodate further change lying between Three Rock to the west, Newtown, Barnaslingan as detailed in the Area Action Plan. There is a risk that (The Scalp) and Carrickgollogan to the south, the disused lead continued linear development along the road between mines and chimney to the east.

This enclosure is characterised by a series of smaller hillocks within a plain. Roads run between the undulations most notably the main Enniskerry Road running north-south from Stepaside and disappearing into the Scalp. This large hillocky plain that is part of the foothills of the Dublin Mountains accommodates much of the rural development in the County (Kiltiernan and Stepaside). Given its terrain and the number of routeways traversing this plain, it is likely to be subject to the most pressure for long term development, which would significantly alter the existing landscape. 6.

It functions as a buffer between the more densely built-up area of Leopardstown/Stepaside and the lower density suburban generated housing area of Kiltiernan. This enclosure is best viewed from a height adjacent to Dingle Glen NHA. From this viewpoint one gets a clear view of the enclosure. The impact of the multitude of urban uses – the tiphead, pylons and houses on the landscape are evident. 109
Appendix E: Historical Medieval Period By the medieval period the focus of settlement was on the Heritage of Kiltiernan/ lowland sites where soil was heavier, and forest covering had been cleared throughout the early Christian period. Glenamuck The medieval fabric includes elements such as castles and fortifications. While there is documentary evidence of a castle in Kiltiernan, the site of its location is unknown. One of the earliest recorded mentions of the name Kiltiernan Prehistoric period (i.e. The Church of Tiernan) appears to be in the Papal Taxation The first evidence of habitation appears in the Kiltiernan/ Rolls of 1306. In a charter dated 1406 the parish is recorded Glenamuck area in the Neolithic period. Excavations at the as being the property of St Mary’s Abbey, Dublin and this portal tomb in Kiltiernan produced artifactural evidence from connection probably goes back to at least 1185.

There is evidence of extensive tomb building Tiernan, whose festival is April 8, but nothing is known about along the flanks of the Dublin mountains, with portal-type him. tombs located to the east of the county on the lower slopes of the Dublin mountains e.g. Brennanstown and Kiltiernan. The The only visible fabric that may actually date to this period are simple agriculture practiced during this period was suited to the the ruins of a small church on Bishop’s Lane located to the west thinner upland soils. of the south-western boundary of the LAP area.

This is evident during this period.

Kiltiernan/ Glenamuck Local Area Plan 2007 19th Century owned and run by the landed classes. Also illustrating the 30 years later – in the first edition Ordnance Survey map, this landed classes is the presence of many large houses, of which focal point may correlate with a cluster of houses which are Kiltiernan House, Kiltiernan Lodge, Rockville and Glenamuck evident in trees to the west of Kiltiernan Lodge. Houses are important. The impact of parklands and Demesne land on the landscape is also evident at this time. Survival of fabric between the various maps is quite strong, with the existence of the mill being illustrated throughout. As Both Kiltiernan House and Kiltiernan Lodge were sufficiently the church was abandoned at such an early date, and therefore substantial to merit mention in the Ordnance survey name has not been altered, its survival at this point acts as an anchor books, and both are recorded as being two storey slated houses. point for reference between various maps. The cluster of houses to the west of Kiltiernan Lodge identified in earlier maps would appear to have become disused by the The ‘landscaping’ in Roque’s 1750 map in the sites later occupied 1830s. While these appear as a distinct group of structures in by Kiltiernan House and Kiltiernan Lodge, suggest continuity of the 1750 map they appear to have been over-taken by Kiltiernan settlement at these two sites.

The nineteenth century drawing of Kiltiernan paper mill by In Roque’s 1790 map of Ireland, ‘Killternan’ is sufficiently Wakeman shows a substantial two-storey building with slate important to merit inclusion. While this map does not give roof. This supports the entry in the Ordnance Survey Name us very detailed information about the site the cartographic books, which provide the following detail: “Paper Mill - North style of this map, does illustrate the relationship between the part of the td. of Kiltiernan.

In addition to the paper mill there was also a cotton Mill located By 1837 there is evidence of a number of house clusters in the townland of Kiltiernan – this was slightly larger than the scattered around the area that later became known as paper mill: Kiltiernan. To the east of the cotton mill and north of ‘Boddies “Cotton Mill - North part of the Td of Kiltiernan & south of road Bridge’ (now known as Kiltiernan Bridge) stood one cluster of leading from Dundrum to Enniskerry.

Kilgobbin church As with previous maps (particularly the 1790 map by Roque), the had been rebuilt on the old pre-Norman site in 1703 and it is 1860 map clearly illustrates Kiltiernan as an important point on reputed to have been the first church erected in Ireland after the route from Dublin, Dundrum and ‘Killgobbin’ to the South the Reformation. By 1818, this Church was in poor repair and too of Ireland. The importance of this routeway explains why the small for its congregation. The present day Church of Ireland earlier settlement - originating at the church site and later church at Kiltiernan was designed by John Semple (also the evolving in to a mill site - moved eastwards. The beginnings of architect for Whitechurch, Donnybrook, Tallaght, Rathmines this move can be seen here, however, at this time, Golden Ball is and the Black Church in Dorset Street, Dublin). It was built on a a more important site on the routeway than Kiltiernan, which new site by John Richardson and consecrated on 10 December has not been named. 1826. In 1837 the Parochial Hall was built, in 1870 a house near the Church was purchased for use as a rectory and in 1908 the stained glass east window was installed. The 1837 map of Kiltiernan illustrates a thriving location with a Cotton Factory and a Paper Mill in the area. This map also illustrates the area as a Landlord dominated landscape. While industrial features such as mills existed, they were most likely 111
Appendix F: Recommendations of the Historical Landscape Character Assessment Recommendations 1 - How the HLCA could inform the LAP Issue Recommendation Future Development Future development in the study area should take cognisance of the context. Therefore to minimise impact, future development should consider the unique mix of scale / massing in the current fabric. Protection of Built Fabric It is imperative to protect historically important local buildings. Protection of Hedgerows Protection of local hedgerows is a high priority for ensuring habitat survival and maintaining local biodiversity. Adoption of Local Placenames Usage of local placenames should be encouraged wherever possible in future developments. Use of Local Building Materials An important element of the local character is employment of granite in construction. The use of local granite should be encouraged in future development, to continue the tradition of utilising local materials and to maximise the visual and economic linkages with the local landscape. Retention of Views Preservation of both internal and external views is important considerations as they are essential elements of the local character. Recommendations 2 – Future Work Issue Recommendation Loughlinstown River Study It is important to undertake a detailed study of the Loughlinstown River system including: the historical industrial systems, the portal tomb, the Early Christian/ Medieval church precinct, Mill House precinct, Moss Cottage precinct and the surviving mill ruins. Kiltiernan Castle The possible location of Kiltiernan Castle is unknown, and should be investigated further. Flora and Fauna A full inventory of flora and fauna is required, encompassing, mammals, invertebrates, fish, birds, birds and plant life. Estate Houses It would be worthwhile to undertake a detailed study of the local large estate houses (their demesnes and contexts). This would include Shaldon Grange, Rockville, Kiltiernan Lodge, the old Mill House, and the site of Kiltiernan Abbey. (The latter three buildings/sites are not within the LAP area.) Victorian Fabric Consideration should be given to investigate and protect the wide range of Victorian buildings and elements in the village. Design Guide It would be worthwhile considering a style/design guide, which could be adopted to encourage sympathetic further development in the study area. 112

This may entail temporary diversions of services and/or staging of the works in the construction phase. (v) Boundary Treatments The form of boundary treatment to be implemented should be appropriate to the adjacent landuse. Where agriculture is predominant, timber post and rail fencing is recommended, though the detail and exact form of fence may depend on the particular animals. Where gardens or property associated with dwellings is impacted upon, particular provisions may be as agreed between residents and DLRCC. As development in the area proceeds, it is likely that boundary treatments will need to be amended to suit the particular developments taking place. Such amendments to the boundary treatments should be carefully considered as part of the planning process. Particular boundary treatments may also be necessary to mitigate visual, noise and vibration impacts of the scheme. The recommendations of the Environmental Study should be followed in such situations. (vi) Safety Audit A Stage 1 Safety Audit will be carried out on the Scheme upon completion of the preliminary design. The Safety Audit will be carried out in accordance with the relevant sections of the NRA DMRB standard HD 19/01 and the draft National Road Safety Audit Guidelines published by the NRA. (vii) Mobility Management Plans The GDDR Study recommends that Mobility Management Plans (MMPs) be required for proposed developments in the 121
