COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Tuesday, September 01, 2009

MOTION NO. 244

MOTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

To add a specific local objective to provide for a time-related HGV ban along Newcastle Road from the N4 to the Grand Canal.

REPORT:

As previously stated in the report to Council at the meeting on 30th April 2009 (DP/049/09 MOT 29) goods and services need to be distributed throughout the County and the roads hierarchy exists to reflect this. HGV through routes are designated by default as being the National and Regional road network within the county. The primary role of the development plan is to discourage developments which are inappropriate to these functions. The major problem with banning HGV’s is enforcement as access is still permitted into a banned area provide the HGV or the driver has business in the area.

 MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:

That this motion not be adopted.
