MOTION: Councillor C. Keane

That the following amendment be included in the written statement:-

1.2.26.i Policy H15: Backland Development

Delete -by a single developer

REPORT:

Section 1.2.26.i of the Draft Development Plan reads as follows:

Policy H15: Backland Development

It is the policy of the Council that backland development will generally only be permitted where development is carried out in a comprehensive redevelopment of the backland areas by a single developer or by a group of landowners coming together to secure a co-ordinated scheme.

With respect to the Strategic Environmental Assesment concerns are raised in relation to potential environmental conflicts. The proposal will remove flexibility of development by either single individuals or a group, which may reuslt in less development of suitable backland/brownfield sites being undertaken.

The motion proposes to amend Policy H15: Backland Development

It is the policy of the Council that backland development will generally only be permitted where development is carried out in a comprehensive redevelopment of the backland areas by a group of landowners coming together to secure a co-ordinated scheme.

The proposed motion should be adopted with the following amendment:

Policy H15: Backland Development

It is the policy of the Council that backland development will generally only be permitted where development is carried out in a comprehensive redevelopment of the backland to secure a co-ordinated scheme.
