MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

MOTION NO. 48

MOTION: Councillor C. Brophy

That increased densities permitted along QBC routes shall not apply until QBC route is fully completed and operational.

REPORT:

Report:

The Draft County Development Plan sets out a coherent spatial planning framework for the entire County within the context of national and regional policies. The core strategic aim of the Plan is to promote a more consolidated and compact urban form for the County which are outlined in a number of strategic aims including the promotion of infill development and the concentration of higher density development in areas with good public transport links. QBCs reflect existing public transport routes and come about as an improvement to existing routes and are not new routes per se. In order for a QBC to be put in place there must be a sufficient or planned population density along the route to generate a need for a QBC route.

Manager’s Recommendation:

The proposed motion should not be adopted.
