DRAFT DEVELOPMENT CONTRIBUTION SCHEME 2013 - 2015
REPLY:
S48 (8) of the Planning and Development Acts 2000-2011 (as amended) states
“(a) Following the consideration of the manager's report, and having had regard to any recommendations made by the Minister, the planning authority shall make the scheme, unless it decides, by resolution, to vary or modify the scheme, otherwise than as recommended in the manager's report, or otherwise decides not to make the scheme.”
“(b) A resolution under paragraph (a) must be passed not later than 6 weeks after receipt of the manager's report.”
The Manager’s report on submissions which was issued on 17th December 2012 recommended one amendment to the Scheme, namely that Note 1 to Section 9 – Level of Contribution - be altered to read as follows:
Note 1: These rates of contribution shall be effective from15th January 2013 until 31st December 2014 for all permissions granted from and including January 15th 2013 to 31st December 2014 inclusive, within the administrative area of South Dublin County Council, irrespective of when the planning application was submitted. Indexation in accordance with the Tender Price Index may be applied, to be effective from 1st January 2015 for permissions granted after this date, having regard to the prevailing economic circumstances, subject to the approval of the Council.
It is therefore recommended that the Council resolves to make the South Dublin County Council Development Contributions Scheme 2013-2015, as published on 10th October 2012 subject to the aforementioned amendment.
