MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Thursday, February 04, 2016

MOTION NO. 24

MOTION: Councillor R. McMahon

On Map 9 to rezone .3Ha from RU ro RES-N  on Kiltipper Road - Submission no 0111 dealt with on Page 366 of Chief Executives Report as the current zoning does not reflect the use nor the potential use - Map supplied with Submission 0111

REPORT:

It is considered that the zoning of the subject site could prejudice the development of the RES-N zoned lands in Killinarden – Kiltipper in terms of access arrangements, permeability and the use of existing constructed roads in accordance with that initially envisaged under the Killinardin – Kiltipper Action Area Plan.

The subject site has already been developed with a residential dwelling and the RU zoning of the site under the Draft Plan will still allow for the subject dwelling to be extended/refurbished or replaced (in necessary) in accordance with proper planning and sustainable development.

Furthermore, the zoning of the subject lands would be surplus to the housing needs of the County during the lifetime of the Draft Plan and beyond are also not appropriate to intensive housing development by reason of their location at the dge of the Rural Metropolitan Area of the County.

In the context of the location of the site in an elevated position at the edge of the rural metropolitan consolidation area; its development status; the surplus requirement for additional residential zoned lands and potential access and road layout implications for other zoned lands, it is considered that the proposed zoning would neither be appropriate or necessary.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is not adopted.

UPDATED REPORT (05/02/2016):

Recommendation
