MOTION: Councillor D. O'Brien

REPORT:
Section 2.9.2 Water Supply states ‘the use of greywater as a non-potable water supply in domestic situations, although not a mandatory requirement, is promoted as best practice in non-residential uses. This shall also be a requirement for all non-potable water consumption, particularly in commercial units. All non-residential proposals shall provide a method statement for the on-site storage, use and management of grey water’.
This motion relates to promoting the highest levels of water conservation in residential, commercial, community and amenity developments.
For clarity it is considered that the motion should be re-worded, as follows:
“Notwithstanding Irish Water’s commitments with regard to sufficient capacity, the planning scheme should Planning Scheme actively promotes the highest levels of water conservation in residential, commercial, community and amenity developments.”
Recommendation
It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment.
With regard to Section 2.9.2 Water Supply, on page 68 insert additional text as follows:
“Notwithstanding Irish Water’s commitments with regard to sufficient capacity, the planning scheme should Planning Scheme actively promotes the highest levels of water conservation in residential, commercial, community and amenity developments.”
