MOTION NO. 225
MOTION: Councillor E. Tuffy
That on page 212 – Policy LHA18 – last paragraph – 1st point “15” be substituted for “10” and that the Draft County Development Plan be amended accordingly.
REPORT:
Section 4.3.7.xvi paragraph 4 states that “Development proposals in river corridors will only be considered providing they; dedicate a minimum of 10m each side of the waters edge for amenity, biodiversity and walkway purposes where practical.”
Notwithstanding the potential positive impacts of the motion, it is considered that the dedicated 10m each side of the waters edge is sufficient and in line with environmental legislation.
Manager's Recommendation:
It is recommended that this motion is not adopted.
