MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Tuesday, May 04, 2010

HEADED ITEM NO. 86

HEADED ITEM: P. Department

To insert an additional SLO to read as follows:

‘Rockbrook Park School- Educational Facilities

Facilitate the sustainable development and expansion of educational/community facilities on the lands at Rockbrook Park School while taking cognisance of the importance of the biodiversity and existing environment at this location.’

REPLY:

An issue was raised that requested the reinstatement of SLO 119 from current plan which should read “Facilitate the sustainable development and expansion of educational / community facilities on the lands of Rockbrook Park School”.  It is considered appropriate to reinstate this objective into the Plan, however it is important to note the Ballyboden Road at the boundary with Rockbrook School is a biodiversity corridor with many mature trees and associated undergrowth, coupled with the adjacent riverine system. Widening or re-aligning the road could have significant impacts on these habitats.

Recommendation

That the motion be adopted.
