MOTION NO. 102

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

Motion: Cllr P. Gogarty Cllr L. O’Toole, Cllr G. O’Connell

Insert R8 Objective 3:

To add the area around Rosse Court as a Local Centre with a Primary Health Care facility.

REPORT:

The Chief Executive concurs with the provision of a Local Centre (LC) zoning for Rosse Court. It is considered that a local centre zoning should be applied at Rosse Court to reflect the cluster of existing units and provide a policy framework and suitable location for the provision of additional services in the area. The provision of a Local Centre zoning objective provides a policy context for the delivery of community facilities and facilitates the economic development and provision of a Primary Health Centre. Under the Local Centre zoning objective, Primary Health Centre, Community Centre, Doctor/ Dentist, Enterprise Centre, Shop- Neighbourhood and Shop- Local are listed as Permitted in Principle.

It is noted that the motion is accompanied by a map which delineates a large area to be zoned as Local Centre. The area is extensive and would be disproportionate in area to other centres in the County. The Chief Executive recommends this zoning change in the CE Report and in the CE Amendments under the headed items.

The identification of specific sites for healthcare and community facilities is beyond the scope of the strategic land use function of the County Development Plan.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment:

To provide the Local Centre (LC) zoning to the cluster of units at Rosse Court in accordance with the map under the CE Amendments (as prepared by the Chief Executive)
