MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Tuesday, May 04, 2010

MOTION NO. 39

MOTION: Councillor C. Jones

That this Council delete 1.3.38.vii from the Draft Development Plan.

REPORT:

In accordance with the Manager’s previous recommendation at the meeting of September 2009 Policy SCR59: Management of Open Space, Recreational Facilities and Play Areas in new residential Developments affords the Council the ability to ensure that where play facilities are managed by private management companies the same specification, safety standards and inspection regimes are applied to those facilities that are applied to those which are managed by the Council. It is essential that the Council has recourse to place conditions on grants of permission for open space, recreational facilities and play areas in new residential developments which will not be taken in charge to ensure the safety of the users and the maintenance of standards.

Manager’s Recommendation:

 It is recommended that this Motion is not adopted.
