MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Monday, September 06, 2010

MOTION NO. 37

MOTION: Councillor J. Hannon

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

That PA146 be amended to include the following “with the exception of a family home that is consistent with the other policies in this Development Plan relating to rural housing in the Glenasmole/Ballinascorney/Bohernabreena/Brittas areas”

REPORT:

It is considered that this motion does not accord with the criteria for consideration at this advanced stage in the Development Plan adoption process, for the reasons set out below:

• The proposed change to Policy LHA13, which was accepted by the members at the Council meetings in May 2010, was to add the phrase ‘Liffey Valley’ to the overall wording.  These two words were the only amendment being made to the policy that went out to public consultation.  The proposed amendment relates to the nature of development covered in Policy LHA13 and has no bearing on the Liffey Valley.

• The proposed addition to Policy LHA 13 would constitute a material alteration to the plan which would have required public consultation, and which cannot be carried out at this late stage in the Development Plan process.
• Due to the material nature of the proposed alteration it is deemed not an amendment but a replacement policy that changes the entire nature of the policy.

Manager’s Recommendation:

That the motion cannot be considered at this point in the Development Plan process
