1941 Sketch Development Plan

There are many aspects of planning - especially as regards amenity - which will take their place in a Draft Planning Scheme but do not demand attention in this preliminary Report. Such matters as the control of elevations, advertisements, derelict sites, the heights of buildings, the preservation of views, trees, and the like, are subservient to the general outline of the plan which is all that we can present at this stage. A vast amount of work is necessary to put these proposals into the framework necessary for a Draft Planning Scheme.

Note -The replacing of the existing Abattoir situated on Annamoe Road, North Circular Road, by a more extensive and modern building on a larger site, and the moving of the present Cattle Market from its position on the North Circular Road, are under consideration by the Town Planning and General Purposes Committees who have been furnished with reports on these subjects by the Consultants and the Chief Veterinary Inspector.
