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.
