REPORT:

The Draft Planning Scheme fully supports the provision of sports facilities in the Park Hubs.

Section 2.10 the Draft Planning Scheme requires a Landscape and Parks Strategy for the entire lands to be submitted prior to the commencement of development on the lands.

The PLS will be a comprehensive framework setting out the overarching design details for the the strategic open spaces, local parks and squares, urban spaces and squares, strategic routes and local links.

In addition, Section 2.7.3 Other Community Facilities refers to Park Hubs. These will be located adjacent to the Barony Park South, Barony Park North, Griffeen Valley Park and Grand Canal Park at Clonburris Little, Gallanstown, Grange and Cappagh local nodes. The Park Hub designation facilitates complementary floorspace required for the adjacent park such as changing rooms, meeting rooms etc.

A district level provision of recreation facilities shall be located adjacent to Barony Park South as part of the Clonburris Little Local Node. This facility may be shared with schools and should accommodate meeting rooms, sports hall, changing rooms, playground & flexible community space in a purpose built building(s) of a minimum gross floor space of 1,500 sqm.

 It is considered that the intent of the motion is already covered in the Planning Scheme and the motion should therefore not be adopted.
