SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Tuesday, September 01, 2009

MOTION NO. 16

MOTION: Councillor E. Tuffy

In Section 0.3.20, on page 19, add an additional sentence to the last paragraph, after "other plans and studies as appropriate", as follows: "The Council will encourage and support the participation of local communities, in historic villages such as Palmerstown, Newcastle, Rathcooole, Clondalkin, Rathfarnham, and Tallaght in Village Design Statement projects."

REPORT:

The section referred to is reference statement of the existing local area plans etc that are currently adopted and in operation. Section Three of  Busy Place sets Development plan policy and objectives with respect to our urban areas. Furthermore guidance documents have been prepared for the five architectural conservation areas in the County. These are considered to be adequate guidence for the future development of the villages, however whilst community input is always welcomed in projects it is unlikely that resources will be available for further VDS's.

Manager’s Recommendation:

No change to the Draft Development Plan required.
