CHAPTER 2 HOUSING

Where traveller site have been partially developed within the County with chalet accommodation, consisting of kitchen and toilet facilities only, that progress be made within the lifetime of this Development Plan to properly extend those chalet where space allows to building proper living and sleeping accommodation.

REPORT:

The County’s Traveller Accommodation Programme 2014-2018 sets out Council policy regarding the development and provision of Traveller Accommodation. The County’s Traveller Accommodation Programme is therefore the pre-eminent document in relation to the development and delivery of such sites. The Traveller Accommodation Programme is supported by H Policy 5 of the Draft Plan 2016-2022. Development of Traveller accommodation sites is also a separate Part 8 function of the local authority.

The proposed motion therefore cannot be actioned or achieved through the County Development Plan, which is a strategic land use document.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is not adopted.
