MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

MOTION NO. 34

MOTION: Councillor J. Hannon

Motion also proposed by Councillors C. King, S. Crowe, C. Brophy, B.Lawlor, and Cllr M. Duff

That 1.2.52.iii(a)Policy H31(A) be amended as follows: 

“It is the policy of the Council within areas designated with Zoning Objective H to consider permitting a new or replacement dwelling on a suitable site where exceptional health circumstances exist, whether such circumstances relate to the applicant themselves or where the applicant is a person such as a Registered General Nurse caring, nurturing and looking after the health and well being of an immediate elderly family member or relation in the community in a professional capacity that would otherwise require hospitalisation”

REPORT:

It is considered that this motion accords with the criteria for consideration at this advanced stage in the Development Plan adoption process.

The SEA report states that “PA020 would be likely to result in significant negative environmental impacts on biodiversity, protected species, protected sites, landscape, water quality, car dependency and the sustainable use of services, due to additional development of rural housing and while some conflicts would be likely to be mitigated there are likely to be significant residual negative impacts”.

It should be noted that headed Item (6) proposes the deletion of PA20 and this remains the recommendation of the Manager. However, it is considered that the wording of the above motion is more appropriate than PA20 as currently drafted.

Manager’s Recommendation:

Headed item (6) recommending the deletion of PA20 be adopted.
