MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

HEADED ITEM NO. 92

HEADED ITEM: P. Department

That lands at Somerton House, Lucan, be zoned ‘F’ Open Space, reflecting the existing zoning on site.

REPLY:

The lands are in the Adamstown SDZ, but not subject to the Planning Scheme and occupy a key position as part of the wider Adamstown network of open space and historic structures, and it is considered that they should remain zoned as part of this open space network. Furthermore, given the existing availability and location of zoned residential land coupled with the widespread opportunity for mixed-use and infill development within the County, it is considered that no expansion of residentially zoned land is required at this time.

 Recommendation

The lands should be zoned ‘F’ Open Space, reflecting the existing zoning on site.
