MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

MOTION NO. 182

MOTION: Councillor R. McMahon

To include the wording under HCL 9 Objective 7 "....and to encourage the grazing of such areas by local farmers, which would include the provision of cattle grids on the roads leading down from the commonage"

REPORT:

It is accepted that HCL 9 Objective 7 could be augmented to clarify that traditional common grazing grounds should be preserved for use by local farmers. The provision of cattle grids is, however, beyond the strategic land use scope of the County Development Plan and cannot be actioned or achieved through the Plan.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment:

To amend HCL 9 Objective 7 to clarify that traditional common grazing grounds should be preserved for use by local farmers.
