QUESTION NO.16

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

To ask the Chief Executive for a detailed update on the planned timeframe for Part 8 planning processes, including public consultations, in relation to the signature projects planned for our County’s Villages?

REPLY:

Part 8 Consultant processes will commence as agreed at Area Committee Meetings in January 2015. Palmerstown and Newcastle are below the threshold for Part 8 process and have already been the subject of a number of community meetings in both villages. The principal and initial village project in Clondalkin – the Round Tower Visitor Centre and Public Garden – has already been noted and approved for Part 8 by the Elected Members. 

Part 8 proposals will be placed on display in the first week of January for Lucan, Rathcoole and Rathfarnham. Display for Tallaght, Saggart and Templeogue will commence toward the end of January. Public consultation will centre on the Part 8 process with the possibility of more directed smaller-scale public meetings if required.
