MOTION NO 7.

MOTION: Councillor D. Corrigan

Chapter 1 - Strategy

That given the Regional Planning Guidelines for the Greater Dublin Area have designated the agricultural areas of this county as part of the Dublin Metropolitan Area, to be developed in the long term into a compact urban form based on enhanced public transport, this Council directs the Manager to incorporate into the draft development plan clear strategic policies and objectives setting out a framework structure for the long-term transition of the agricultural and rural areas consistent with the strategic regional objective that will provide for retaining the distinctive attractive communities in the area with a strong sense of place, and the preservation of natural beauty, biodiversity and critical environmental areas, while at the same time accommodating appropriate selective sustainable development that does not compromise the long-term framework structure, the strategic regional objective, or the amenities of the county’s rural areas.
