MOTION NO. 181

MOTION: Councillor D. Keating

Under Town District and Local Centres - Section 3 - ref. 3.3.18 - proposed to add: "It is also the policy of this Council to prevent the loss of distinctive features in Lucan Village. Lucan village remains a village of immense beauty, conservation, heritage, and architectural value, historical significance and has enormous future tourist potential. Development will only be allowed if it conserves or enhances the varied character of Lucan village."  

REPORT:

Section 3.3.18 and Policy TDL21 of the Draft Development Plan recognises the unique importance of Lucan within the County and notwithstanding any possible positive environmental effects of the motion applies the Lucan Village Design Statement as the basis for any development proposals within the environs of Lucan Village.  The Design Statement seeks to retain the individual identity of Lucan whilst maintaining its high standard of local physical environment including special historic and architectural character of the area.

MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:

No change required to the Draft Development Plan.
