MOTION NO. 27

MOTION: Councillor J. Hannon

That South Dublin Co Council seek to develop a cluster type residential development on Council owned land at Bohernabreena, in an effort to satisfy local housing need for residents who do not have access to appropriate sites in the general Bohernabreena/Glenasmole area.

REPORT:

It is considered that the proposal, in planning terms, would be consistent with the preference for clustered housing with a single shared road access as stated in the Sustainable Rural Housing Guidelines (April 2005) and Policy H38 ‘Dwellings in Rural Areas’ in the draft Development Plan, subject to meeting the requirements of the Habitats Directive.  However, it should be noted that the disposal of Council owned land would subject to public procurement procedures.

Manager’s Recommendation:

It is recommended that the motion be adopted  with the following added :   subject to meeting the requirements of the Habitats Directive
