That this Area Committee put a temporary moratorium on the planning application for high-density type accommodation in locations of Aviation Significance (dark grey area on the map) given the significant interventions by the Dept. of Defence in relation to the New Development plan, copy attached, and the intention to increase the level and type of military aviation activity in and around Casement Aerodrome. It would be my recommendation that a specific guidance document in relation to developments with the areas of Significant aviation Risk be developed to guide planners in relation to what is permitted with specific attention being given to developments directly beneath the take-off surface as this is the area of highest risk from an aircraft crash perspective.
To ask the Chief Executive for an update on efforts to secure heritage funding that can contribute towards the costs of renovation of Thomas Omar Lock House which is located beside the 11th Lock of the Grand Canal?
