MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO. 22

QUESTION: Councillor E. Tuffy

To ask the Manager to make a report on variations to the County Development Plan 2010-2016, and new Local Area Plans,  which have already been adopted by the elected members or which are currently in a formal process?

REPLY:

There has been one variation of the County Development Plan 2010 – 2016 passed since the Plans adoption in October 2010. Variation No.1 related to the provision of a retirement village in Ballynakelly, Newcastle, Co. Dublin.

The process in relation to a second variation is currently underway. Variation No.2 involves the insertion of a protocol into the Plan which would allow the Planning Authority to consider appropriate development of zoned land within the Casement Aerodrome Security Zone, without compromising the security of the aerodrome. It is anticipated that this variation will come before the Council for resolution at the July 2012 Council Meeting.

The first of the Local Area Plans to come out of the current Development Plan is the Fortunestown LAP. This Plan was adopted by the Elected Members on the 16^th April 2012 and will come into operation on the 14^th May 2012.

A Draft Local Area Plan for Newcastle is being prepared at present and it is anticipated that this will go on display in June 2012.
