MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

To amend section 1.8.0 (2) to replace the sentence “The SDZ’s are serviced by strategic water, drainage and transport infrastructure and no major development constraints” with the following sentence “The SDZ’s are serviced by strategic water, drainage and transport infrastructure. However the road network in the Lucan area experiences substantial traffic congestion. The delivery of sufficient public transport and road capacity shall be actively supported in tandem with future development of the SDZ’s so as to facilitate sustainable new development in these areas.”

Co-sponsored by Cllr. Casserly

REPORT:

See responses to Item no 45076 and 45072 also which proposed the addition of similar wording in Section 1.10 & 1.7.2.

The content of this motion and the previous motions are noted. It is considered that the insertion of an objective under CS 7 is the appropriate mechanism and location to input the SDZ content and reduce repetition in the Core Strategy. 

it would also be acceptable to replace "and no major development constraints" with "and no strategic development constraints".

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendments

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

replace "and no major development constraints" with "and no strategic development constraints".
