MOTION NO. 4

MOTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

Motion also proposed by Councillors G. O' Connell, E. Tuffy,C. Jones, and D. Keating

To modify amendment PA021 by modifying Point 1 under '1.2.52.iv (a)Policy H32(A): Liffey Valley Zone' as follows: "1. Development directly related to the area’s amenity potential or to its use for agriculture, but not to impinge on the landscape, or vistas of the valley or compromise its biodiversity or amenity."

Report

At the meetings in May 2010, the Council Members were advised that the introduction of another zoning would add further complexity to the Development Plan without any real effective increase in protection to already highly protected lands. This remains the strong advice of the Manager.

Notwithstanding the above, in the event that zoning objective ‘I’ remains, this motion is considered acceptable given that the it is proposed to inclde wording which is already conatained in the proposed ammendment.

Manager’s Recommendation:

It is recommended that all references to the proposed Liffey Valley ‘I’ zoning be deleted from the plan.

However, in the event that Zoning Objective ‘I’ remains, it is recommended that the motion is adopted.
