MOTION NO. 29

MOTION: Councillor C. King

1.2.11 (Traveller Accommodation Programme) Amend to include, 'That the Traveller Accommodation Programme 2009-2013 will make provision for prioritising where possible developments that were due to be commenced and completed in the T.A.P 2004-2008 but were not delivered on'. 

REPORT:

The current  traveller accommodation programme to 2012  as adopted by the Council on the 9^th February 2009  should be read as a continuation of the previous Traveller Accommodation programme  and the Council will continue to build on the successes achieved thereunder. The Council will prioritise ,where possible ,outstanding developments from the last accommodation programme but progress in this regard is dependent on a number of factors such as departmental approval of the proposal,finance,land availability etc.

The prioritisation of Traveller Accommodation is addressed in the Council’s Traveller Accommodation Programme and the Development Plan reflects the implementation of these aims. It is therefore considered that the motion is not appropriate to the Development Plan but is relevant to the preparation and adoption of the Traveller Accommodation Programme.

Manager’s Recommendation:

It is recommended that this motion not be adopted
