MOTION NO. 7

MOTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

To add the following line to paragraph 3 of section 1.7.2 “However, the road network in the Lucan area (adjoining the north of Clonburris SDZ) experiences substantial traffic congestion. In order to facilitate sustainable new development, the Council shall active promote the delivery of sufficient public transport and road capacity in tandem with future development of the SDZ’s.

Co sponsored by Cllr. Casserly

REPORT:

See responses to Item no 45076 and 45073 also which proposed the addition of similar wording in Section 1.10 & 1.8

The content of this motion and the previous motions are noted. It is considered inappropriate to reference traffic congestion in Lucan at this point in the Core Strategy of the Development Plan given that traffic and transport matters are more appropriately addressed under the relevant Transport Section of the Plan and are not unique to Lucan or any other area.  In relation to the core strategy it is considered more appropriate to insert an objective under CS 7 in relation to this matter. 

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment

To add the following line to paragraph 3 of section 1.7.2 “ In order to facilitate sustainable new development, the Council shall actively promote the delivery of sufficient public transport and road capacity in tandem with future development of the SDZ’s."

and

Insert Objective under CS 7 as follows:

To support the delivery of sufficient public transport and road capacity to facilitate sustainable new development in Strategic Development Zones
