MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Tuesday, September 01, 2009

MOTION NO. 39

MOTION: Councillor D. Keating

Under Housing - Section 2 - 1.2.14.v - to add "when there is prevalent Anti-Social Behaviour in this area."

REPORT:

Section 1.2.14.v reads as follows:

Policy H5: Inner suburban/ infill Densities

It is the policy of the Council to promote the provision of additional dwellings on appropriate sites within inner suburban areas, proximate to existing or due to be improved public transport corridors, by facilitating infill residential development or sub-division of dwellings subject to safeguards outlined in Sustainable Neighbourhoods in Section 1.4 or being in accordance with Local Area Plans or Approved Plans.

It is proposed to amend the Section as follows:

Policy H5: Inner suburban/ infill Densities

It is the policy of the Council to promote the provision of additional dwellings on appropriate sites within inner suburban areas, proximate to existing or due to be improved public transport corridors, when there is prevalent Anti-Social Behaviour in this area, by facilitating infill residential development or sub-division of dwellings subject to safeguards outlined in Sustainable Neighbourhoods in Section 1.4 or being in accordance with Local Area Plans or Approved Plans.

The above policy provides general guidance on the acceptability of the development of infill housing in the County subject to meeting the standards set out in Section 1.4 of the Plan. It is considered that specifying a particular incidence where such development would be supported is inappropriate.  

Manager’s Recommendation:

The proposed motion should not be adopted.
