SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING
Thursday, June 18, 2015
MOTION NO. 209
MOTION: Councillor W. Lavelle
To add the following words to end of objective ‘TM3 Objective 2’: “while seeking to minimise opportunities for anti-social behaviour and respecting the wishes of local communities.”
REPORT:
A number of walking/cycling routes throughout the County have been constructed in Darglewood, Grange Road, Clondalkin Park and Dodder Valley Park (including a new bridge). To reduce the possible occurrence of anti-social behaviour (including pre-existing issues) various design interventions were implemented, the primary deterrent being the increase in passive surveillance occasioned by increased usage.During all permeability projects carried out to date in order to fully understand and take into consideration the views and wishes of the local communities, consultation was undertaken at a very early stage to allow the findings to be considered before final decisions were made and enabled consultees to be informed about other processes that were used to inform the eventual decision. In relevant cases Consultees were also informed of other opportunities that were available to influence the decision; for example, some schemes were subject to a Part 8 planning process during which statutory consultation was also undertaken
Recommendation
It is recommended that this motion is adopted
