Monday, September 06, 2010

HEADED ITEM NO. 2

HEADED ITEM:

Recommended wording change to PA002 which amends and updates the Core Strategy of the Draft Development Plan, inter alia, in order to take into account the Regional Planning Guidelines for the Greater Dublin Area 2010-2022, which were published in June 2010. 

REPLY:

Manager’s Response

It is considered that Proposed Amendment P002 is reasonable and should be incorporated into the South Dublin County Development Plan 2010-2016.

It is also considered that in the interests of clarity, an additional table should be inserted into the core strategy indicating the overall disposition of zoned lands capable of accommodating residential development and their overall capacity based on the already stated figures of land availability and overall capacity.

Manager’s Recommendation

It is recommended that the following additional table be inserted indicating the overall disposition of zoned lands capable of accommodating residential development and their overall capacity based on the already stated figures of land availability and overall capacity based on the envisaged average housing density of 44 units per hectare.

Area	Available Development land (no extant permissions)	Housing allocations ( approx.)
SDZ’s/Lucan Palmerstown1	296 (47%)	18300
Clondalkin/ Newcastle	81 (13%)	2500
Saggart/ Rathcoole/ Citywest	91 (14.5%)	3600
Tallaght/ Rathfarnham	159 (25%)	106002
Total	627 ha	35000 units

1: Predominantly located in the two SDZ of Adamstown and Clonburris

2: Mainly includes planned provision as part of Tallaght Town centre LAP and Naas Road framework

And that the additional wording below be inserted:

Having considered the Regional Planning Guideline population figures in the light of residential land capacity, other opportunities for residential development and the national guidelines on housing densities it is considered that the Development Plan has sufficient lands to accommodate its regional population share during the lifetime of this plan and to allow for a clear direction to be given to the accommodation of the medium term (2022) projected population.

These clarifications clearly articulate that the Development Plan meets its requirements under the Regional Planning Guidelines, national legislation and the core strategy of the plan
