Having considered submissions received and the Manager’s Report thereon the Council reaffirms its support for all of Section 0.2.1 “A Living Place” in the Draft Development Plan adopted in September. In particular the Council calls on the Manager to confirm to councillors that no provision in the in the current Draft Plan, conflict with the principles of Section 0.2.1, including existing LZOs and SLOs, and to advise councillors if any proposed amendments, including new or amended LZOs or SLOs on the Agenda of the May meetings on the Draft Plan conflict with the principles of Section 0.2.1 at the beginning of the first meeting.
That Section 0.2.5 Adaptation to Climate Change, in the Draft Plan adopted in September 2009, be replaced by the following:
0.2.5 Adaptation to Climate Change
The County Development Plan seeks to promote a series of policies that will ameliorate the effects of climate change and introduce resilience to its effects. The Plan reflects the acceptance by the Council of responsibility to contribute, as a Planning Authority and otherwise, to policies and actions which will mitigate against contributing to climate change; in this regard the Plan supports the exploitation and development of renewable energy and more compact urban forms. The latter provides for the maintenance and improvement of amenities for the County’s citizens, provides services in a coherent and economic fashion and provides the opportunity for reducing private car trips, which is the County’s major contributor to greenhouse gases.
The Plan also reflects the acceptance of the Council of responsibility to develop and implement locally relevant adaptation strategies and implementation plans, and in particular commits to provide, in the County Development Plan, for policies and measures that ensures areas at risk of flooding may be regulated, restricted and controlled, as stated in the National Climate Change Strategy. The Council notes the statement of the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government that the National Climate Change Adaptation Framework will be published before Summer 2010, and notes that the Government intends that the Adaptation Framework will provided a basis for the integration of adaptation considerations into decision making at national and local level.

p11 0.2 Core Strategy paragraph 3 - insert, 'the tackling of inequality, discrimination and disadvantage in order to enable all citizens and communities to participate fully and equally in society' after 'renewable energy.'
p11 insert additional bullet point before second last paragraph ('These strategic policies...') to read, ' - Promoting equality, diversity and social inclusion through the delivery of quality services for all.'

To provide for a new zoning for River Valley Areas with a similar but higher level of protection than the ‘High Amenity’ zoning, the following three changes are to be made to the plan, bearing in mind this in no way diminishes the protection afforded to areas such as the ‘Lucan Bridge to Palmerstown, SAAO’ within the Liffey Valley
- 1. Under section ‘0.5 Zoning Objectives Matrix’ insert a new zoning for river valley areas, we suggest this be denoted by the letter ‘I’ . This zoning to have similar but higher protection than the ‘High Amenity’ zoning ‘G’, as outlined in the updated zoning Matrix attached.

Motions
MOTION: Given the statutory obligations for the Council; the phrase regarding compliance with the European Union, National and Regional policy is considered to add little value to the concept of an ‘Aim’ underlying the Council’s approach to waste. Therefore Section 2.4.1. detailing the underlying Aim for the Council to be amended to read as follows:
2.4.1 Aim
To provide a leadership role in relation to the control of air quality, noise and light pollution; and the sustainable management of waste through the Council’s own policy and implementation of solutions on waste minimisation, re-use and recycling so as to limit the financial and climatic impacts of landfill; and in moving away from any dependence on incineration within the life of this plan.
Section 2.4.2 Strategy under Environmental Services to be amended to read as follows:
2.4.2 Strategy
The strategy of the Council for the development of Environmental Services in the County is as follows:
. Actively pursue the implementation of solutions on waste minimisation, re-use and recycling and move away from any dependence on landfill and incineration within the life of the plan.
. Apply the key principle of waste management policy of “polluter pays”.
. Implement a shift in focus to prevention and minimisation measures whilst developing recycling and waste sorting measures.
. Cooperate with other agencies both public and private in viable schemes to manage the collection and biological treatment of organic waste produced within the County during the life of the current plan.
. No municipal or construction waste generated within the County that can be recycled or biologically treated from the County is to be incinerated in any location by the end of the life of this plan.
. Recognise the resource potential of Construction & Demolition waste and increase the level of its recycling to 85% as a minimum by 2013 in line with Central Government Policy as outlined by the National Construction and Demolition Waste Council (NCDWC).
. Co-operate with and participate in the preparation of regional plans for the collection, treatment, handling and disposal of wastes
. Promote the prevention and reduction of waste and the increased re-use and
recycling of materials from all waste streams meet or exceed targets in the Waste Management Plan for the Dublin Region 2005-2010 in line with the Council’s own policies.
. Promote public education and awareness of environmental issues.
. Reduce the effects of air, noise and light pollution on environmental amenity and biodiversity.

being contained in the Waste Management Plan for the Dublin Region 2005 to 2010 (or as may be amended from time to time).”

“Aggressive incremental targets are to be set to ensure that within the life of the Plan this target will be achieved.”
Include a new policy in Section 2.4.6 as follows
“2.4.6.ii Policy ES4(a): Limiting Incineration Capacity
It is the policy of the Council that no waste-to-energy incinerator or waste-to-energy thermal treatment relying on the combustion of waste be situated in the County”

Reduction with the following clarification:
2.4.10.i Policy ES6: Waste Prevention and Reduction

- Further deep drill testing to quantify the potential of the resource.
Phase Two.
Note:- Phase Two can only proceed after a successful outcome to phase one.

- Connect existing residential and commercial users to this district heating network.
- Build a back up/peaking biomass plant most likely fuelled by wood chip.
- Connect residual heat to the network where possible.
Phase Two is subject to the following provisions;
No development whatsoever can take place within the specific local objective boundaries outlined on the attached map until the geothermal resource has been proven and demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Council.
