HEADED ITEM NO. 83

HEADED ITEM: P. Department

Insert additional text at end of SLO 38 to read as follows (additional text in bold):

‘38: Corkagh Park – Sporting Centre

To promote Corkagh Park as a sporting centre of excellence for the County to further complement its existing facilities such as the sports and leisure centre, swimming pool, all weather pitches, tennis courts, grass pitches, fishing lakes, baseball ground, etc.  Any work in this area, such as provision of lakes/water features or development likely to cause pooling of water, which may pose an attractant for waterfowl and therefore might in turn pose a threat to air safety at Casement Aerodrome, should be subject to consultation with the Department of Defence’.

REPLY:

Having regard to the aviation safety implications of the issue in question and the proximity of the Park to the Aerodrome, it is considered that the proposed amendment is justified.

Recommendation

That the motion be adopted.
