MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 4

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

"Further to the inclusion of “Independent Living” in the County Development Plan and considering our housing crisis this council asks the Chief Executive to consider as a priority the inclusion of an independent courtyard type apartment complex located ideally adjacent to the Griffeen Park within the Clonburris SDZ. These types of independent living complexes are ideal for mature people in the community who are considering downsizing and provides an attractive, safe and secure accommodation for couples and single persons. Downsizing by mature persons will help to free up larger accommodation more suitable to families.

REPORT:

The draft Planning Scheme for Clonburris Strategic Development Zone is being prepared having regard to and in compliance with the provisions of the Housing Strategy and the South Dublin County Development Plan 2016-2022, which includes policies and objectives relating to housing designed for older people including independent and semi-independent (Housing H policy 3 and H3 Objective 1) and disabled persons (Schedule 3 – Housing Strategy section 6.4).
