SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Thursday, February 04, 2016

MOTION NO. 81

MOTION: Councillor E. Higgins

That Chapter 3, specifically 3.2.0, be amended to include reference to Rathcoole as the county’s only age-friendly village and that it provide for the use of signage in the village to promote this

Co Sponsor: William Lavelle & Paula Donovan

REPORT:

The Age Friendly Action Plan was received as a submission for the Villages Initiative in 2013. Rathcoole is listed as one of the nine traditional villages of South Dublin County under Section 5.1.2 of the Draft Plan, and subject to proposed zoning objective VC which seeks ‘To protect, improve and provide for the future development of Village Centres’. While an Action under UC Policy 3 regarding Village Centres provides support for public realm improvement schemes under the Village Initiative, any details, including signage, pertaining to same would fall outside the remit of the County Development Plan.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is not adopted.
