MEETING OF SDZ, LAPS AND PLANNING PROJECTS

MOTION NO. 196

MOTION: Councillor D. O'Brien

Page 51, under Places of Worship, insert a new sentence at the end of the paragraph: “The Council should consider land swaps to facilitate the provision of centres of worship where such swaps meet the need of faith based communities living in or close to the Clonburris SDZ planning scheme.”

Louise Dunne, Cathal King, Danny O’Brien, Mark Ward

REPORT:

The Chief Executive accepts the intention of the motion to facilitate the provision of a place of worship on a suitable site within the Planning Scheme.

It is considered that discussions with South Dublin County Council and other landowners within the SDZ can take place if the Draft Planning Scheme is adopted by SDCC/ An Bord Pleanala (on appeal). This issue relates to landownership and is not a relevant consideration in a land use planning document.

 Cllr D O'Brien

In the context of the Draft Planning Scheme, this motion requests text to be submitted in relation to the ownership of land and possible land swaps. For this reason, the motion is recommended to not be adopted.

Recommendation

It is recommended the motion is not adopted.

 

Strategic Environmental Assessment of Chief Executive’s Recommendation

No interaction with Strategic Environmental Objectives.

Appropriate Assessment Screening of Chief Executive’s Recommendation

No likely significant effects on European sites within the SDZ’s zone of influence are predicted.
