Councillor G. O'Connell
Responsibility:
Colin Ryan

The Management shall explore and insert in the next draft of the County Development Plan before it goes on public display, a Zoning category similar to that which applies to the Dublin Mountains for the area of the Liffey Valley that lies within South Dublin County, that includes all (but not only) the SAAO and that is bounded by the river Liffey on the one side from Chapelizod to Leixlip, and the Old Lucan Road from the City boundary to the M50 and by the N4 as far as the junction with the Outer Ring Road, from there by the Old Lucan Road again to Lucan Bridge, that includes all of Lucan Demesne, Lucan Golf Course, Cooldrinagh (including Weston Airport) and Tobbermaclog, with the objective of distinguishing the unique landscape which is the Liffey Valley from other Green Belts and providing the Liffey Valley with the maximum protection for future generations.

Motion

Councillor G. O'Connell

Given the proximity of the Lucan Golf Club lands to the river Liffey and it’s current green undeveloped status; and the fact it forms and is seen as part of the green belt between the residential communities of Lucan and Celbridge; together with the  enormous extent of land already zoned in the county and the decrease in demand for development – this proposal warrants no further consideration. In summary given the above and also but not limited to the criterion of ‘Policy Context’, ‘Environmental & Heritage’, ‘Environment’ and ‘Assessment of Need’, it should be rejected and not carried into the Draft Plan for further consideration.
