MOTION NO. 254

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

Section 2.10. In executing the proposed PLS South Dublin County Council shall be the lead partner to ensure that the facilities are delivered on schedule and where necessary, prioritising the needs of the residents, South Dublin County Council shall secure bridging finance in anticipation of contributions from Developers/Government Funding.

Councillors Guss O’Connell, Liona O’Toole, Paul Gogarty and Francis Timmons

REPORT:

The Draft Planning Scheme fully supports the implementation of a Parks and Landscape Strategy.

The Strategic Open Spaces; the Griffeen valley Park Extension and the Barony Park (north & south) are considered infrastructure that is required to be linked to the delivery of residential development and is phased in accordance with the construction of residential units. Table 4.3 of the Draft Planning Scheme sets out the phasing scheme. The planning and commencement of works at either of these parks is set out in phase 1B and 2.

Section 4.10 of the Draft Planning Scheme refers to Funding and Implementation. It states that ‘The development of the SDZ lands is subject to the SDCC Section 48 Development Contribution Scheme 2016-2022 and the Kildare Route Project Section 49 Contribution Scheme and any applicable superseding schemes.

 In some cases, the completion of works required to facilitate residential development in a phased manner within the Planning Scheme are outside the direct control of either SDCC, the SDZ landowners or the Development Agency.

 All measures and funding streams available for the release of funding to provide for the delivery of infrastructure and community facilities in Clonburris will be pursued in conjunction with landowners/ developers.’

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