MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

MOTION NO. 79

MOTION: Councillor C. King

2.1.0 Housing Strategy:

In paragraph 5 of this section and on the third line end the sentence at the words "and other uses" removing the text "save in specified circumstances where a reduced element may be acceptable",

REPORT:

The reference to exceptional circumstances where a reduced Part V element may be acceptable reflects the provisions of Section 96 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended), which excludes developments of 4 or less houses and housing on land of 0.1 hectares, and circumstances where there should be a reduced or no social housing requirement including social housing developments, housing for older people and student accommodation.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is not adopted.
