MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO. 25
QUESTION: Councillor E. Tuffy
To ask the Manager if he will provide a report on the number of existing Local Area Plans in the Country, such as the Newcastle Area Plan, which are due for review during the period of the current County Development Plan, including information on when such reviews are likely to begin, and if he will also provide information on the number of proposed new Local Area Plans, and their locations, which are referred to in the County Development Plan?
REPLY:
The following table shows the existing Local Area Plans and Strategic Development Zones within South Dublin County. The order of the reviews has not yet been determined. Currently the Fortunestown Local Area Plan is in preparation and a draft plan will be put on display in summer 2011. It is anticipated that the Newcastle Local Area Plan will be the next for review later in 2011.
Regarding proposed new Local Area Plans referred to in the County Development Plan, the Plan does not specify a list of Plans to be prepared. However, paragraph 0.3.20 states:
‘It is the intention of the Council to continue its programme of preparing Local Area Plans and other plans and studies as appropriate.’
The only new Local Area Plan specified is the one for Fortunestown Way, as part of objective 67 which states:
‘67. Fortunestown Way – Local Area Plan
Prepare a Local Area Plan for lands at Fortunestown Way.’
