MOTION NO. 14

MOTION: Councillor E. Higgins

That Chapter 2 include provision for Housing Survey of Brittas as per the wishes of the Brittas and Districts Community Association

Co Sponsored: Cllr. William Lavelle

REPORT:

Previous Motions

A request for the preparation of a study/area plan for Brittas Village and the designation of the area for development was the subject of a number of motions at the June 2015 Development Pan Meeting (Motion nos. 15, 16, 17, 18, 19). The motions were taken together at the meeting and it was agreed to amend the motion in line with the recommendations of the Chief Executive.

CS6 SLO 3 was subsequently inserted in the Draft County Development Plan, which supports the preparation of a planning study for Brittas Village, in consultation with local residents and representatives with a view to (inter alia) the long term viability of the local community.

Purpose and Type of Survey

The type of housing survey requested under the subject motion is unclear and the purpose of such a survey is also unclear. It is standard practice to include an analysis of population and housing data during the preparation of any planning study. It is therefore recommended that the motion be adopted with amendment and that CS6 SLO 3 be amended to make reference to the inclusion of analysis of population and housing data.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment:

Amend CS6 SLO 3 (Brittas Village Planning Study) to make reference to the inclusion of analysis on population and housing data.
