7. The following Environmental Health Section requirements of the Planning Authority shall be complied with: (i) A Construction Management Plan shall be included as part of this application prepared by the awarded contractor. This plan shall be developed with reference to the Air Quality Monitoring and Noise Control Unit’s Good Practice Guide for Construction and Demolition produced by the Air Quality Monitoring and Noise Control Unit of Dublin City Council. This unit requires that the measures for “High Risk” sites contained in the Air Quality Monitoring and Noise Control Unit’s Good Practice Guide for Construction and Demolition be added to the measures contained in the Construction management Plan, or a signed statement on head of paper submitted on behalf of the awarded contractor, stating adherence to measures for high risk sites contained within the document. This shall be submitted to the Air Quality Monitoring & Noise Control Unit for reviewing before works commence. Any dust monitoring onsite shall be real-time dust monitoring, as opposed to the Bergerhoff method. This is contained within the guidance document above. (ii) Due to the proximity to local residents and other sensitive receptors such as Highfield Hospital to the south and Beechlawn Nursing home to the east and the likely use of generators to provide power to the cranes, this unit would recommend placing generators at the least intrusive location. This unit also recommends these generators have acoustic barriers/enclosures built around them in order to reduce sound levels at the nearest noise sensitive receptors. This shall be included within the Construction Management Plan for the site. (iii) The hours of operation during the demolition and construction phase shall be restricted to 7.00am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, and 8.00am to 2.00pm on Saturdays.

(ii) Noise levels should not be so loud, so continuous, so repeated, of such duration or pitch or occurring at such times as to give reasonable cause for annoyance to a person in any premises in the neighbourhood or to a person lawfully using any public place. (C) Air Quality Control –General Recommended Conditions and Comments regarding retail/cafe units (i) All emissions to air associated with the development must be free from offensive odour and shall not result in an impairment of or an interference with amenities or the environment.
