MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Thursday, June 18, 2015

MOTION NO. 137

MOTION: Councillor M. Murphy

SLO for the secondary school site in Kingswood: That this site is to be developed for educational facilities only.

Co-signed by Cllr. B. Leech and Cllr. K. Mahon.

REPORT:

The County Development Plan clearly notates that a Post-Primary School will be located on the lands zoned for Open Space situated off Ballymount Road. Educational use within this zoning is open for consideration. The proposed wording of the SLO is considered to be negative and restrictive as it would impede a full consideration of other uses on these lands such as proposals for open space, recreational facilities, sports club/facility, community centre and allotments, all of which are uses permitted in principle on lands zoned for open space.

It is recommended that an SLO be added to the plan with amended wording which omits the word ‘only’.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment.
