MOTION NO.39

MOTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

That amendment PA104 relating to section ‘2.5.15.i Policy EC10: Energy and Communications infrastructure in Sensitive Landscapes’ be modified as follows:

“It is the policy of the Council that all planning applications for energy and communications infrastructure on lands above the 120m contour located in rural, high amenity, and mountain zones (zones B, G, and H) and on lands in the Liffey Valley (zoned I), shall be accompanied by an assessment of the potential visual impacts of the proposed development on the landscape - demonstrating that impacts have been anticipated and avoided to a level consistent with the sensitivity of the landscape, in order to protect and, where appropriate enhance, the landscape character of sensitive lands.”

REPORT:

Given the decision of the Members with respect to the Liffey Valley zoning, it is considered that the proposed clarification is considered to be reasonable.

Manager's Recommendation

That the motion be adopted.
