MOTION NO. 60

MOTION: Councillor M. Murphy

SLO for the site of St Brigids Nursing home at Crooksling: That this site be designated as a centre of excellence for elder care and only developments that comply with that strategy shall be considered.

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

REPORT:

The designation of a site for a centre of excellence in terms of healthcare is beyond the function of the Planning Authority including the strategic land use function of the County Development Plan. It is recommended that the wording of the motion be amended accordingly and that it also be amended to align with Housing Policy 3 of the Draft Plan (Housing for Older People).

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment:

To include an SLO for the site of St Brigid’s Nursing home at Crooksling that designates the site as a centre that provides for the care of elderly people in nursing home accommodation.
