MOTION NO. 4

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

Amend 0.2. (Core Strategies) by inserting after “Dublin – Cork Railway Line” a new clause to replace existing as follows “in relation to our prime natural and heritage environment we need to provide additional safeguards for the Dublin Mountains, the Liffey Valley, the Dodder Valley and our Canal waterway.”

REPORT:

This section of the Draft Development sets out the fundamental focus of the Plan in as succinct a manner as possible. It is a statement of the effect of the Plan in its entirety.

 The highest planning policy protection exists on the lands referred to in the motion.

The wording in this motion suggests further safeguards are possible and/ or envisaged over and above those that will be in the Plan.

 

Manager’s Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Motion not be adopted.
