MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

MOTION NO. 7

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

Amend 0.2. (Core Strategies) under “a” add an additional bullet point: “supporting, promoting and actively developing sources of renewable energy more specifically given our geographical location, Geothermal Energy.”

REPORT:

This section of the Draft Development sets out the fundamental focus of the Plan in as succinct a manner as possible. The other sections of the Plan articulate the policies and objectives in an expanded and relevant manner.

With respect to the suggested wording change it is considered that it does not reflect the essential purpose of the Plan. Relevant sections of the Plan state polices and objectives support a range of renewable energy systems but within the context of a coherent land use strategy for this County.

 

Manager’s Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Motion not be adopted.
