SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING
Tuesday, September 01, 2009
MOTION NO. 215
MOTION: Councillor E. Tuffy
That on page 209 – Policy LHA8 – 5th line – “will seek to “ be replaced by “protect” and that the Draft County Development Plan is amended accordingly.
REPORT:
Section 4.3.7.vi Policy LHA8: Dublin Mountains Area above 350m Contour states “it is the policy of the Council that within the part of the Dublin Mountains area, which is generally above the 350m contour, the management of development will seek to retain the open natural character of mountain heaths and mountain blanket bogs.”
It is considered that there are sufficient policies and objectives contained in the Draft County Development Plan, relating to the Dublin Mountains which afford protection to its natural character and amenity, where it is achievable in terms of the Councils remit.
Manager’s Recommendation:
It is recommended that this motion is not adopted.
