MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Thursday, February 04, 2016

MOTION NO. 210

MOTION: Councillor F.N. Duffy

On page 156 include an additional sub section: PROSPECTIVE SAAOs

Objective

Actively propose the designation of areas within the Dublin Mountains including the Bohernabreena Reservoirs and High Amenity Area and the Liffey Valley Zones with a view to making SAAOs and seek an Order to that effect and undertake a feasibility study to report on other areas considered worthy of designation to report within one year of the adoption of the Plan.

REPORT:

The designation of a Special Amenity Area Order (SAAO) comprises a process that is separate and independent to the County Development Plan Review process that statutorily requires public consultation and includes a statutory timeframe thus negating the need to amend policy, objectives or actions in the Draft County Development plan in relation to these aspects of making an Amenity Area Order. This separate function is therefore beyond the scope of the County Development Plan and therefore cannot be achieved or Action through the County Development Plan.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is not adopted.
