Here is the application for a development, just to the north of the main entrance of the Community Centre at Cappagh Park.

Yeah that has no chance. 2 access points for cars on to Cappagh rd for such a small development, never going to happen, even if they try to pull a fast one and call one of them "shared access" for pedestrians and cyclists

Looks to be 1 entrance and one proposed gap in the wall for pedestrian access at a footpath?

Maybe you're right, the scans are crap so I could have missed the wall

That's what I assumed as well from the drawings, hopefully pedestrian access will be a proper one. Wheelchair accessible.
