MOTION NO. 180

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

Community Facilities 2.7

Pg. 52 Garda Station and Fire Station

Paragraph 1 Remove the following wording:

“at the implementation stage if south Dublin County Council (as the Development Agency) is advised in writing that a site is not required for a fire station the site may then be developed fir residential or community uses in accordance with the guidance set for the Clonburris North West Development area.”

Co-signed Cllr Guss O Connell & Cllr Paul Gogarty

REPORT:

The Chief Executive supports the provision of a Fire Station within the SDZ and the Draft Planning Scheme allocates a site for a Fire Station.

Fire Stations are generally located on a regional scale. It is noted that the Adamstown SDZ Planning Scheme has also identified a site for a Fire Station. In this context, the Chief Executive considers that the option to construct the Fire Station at either Adamstown or Clonburris should remain. Accordingly, the Draft Planning Scheme should not require a Fire Station to be built on the lands as a Fire Station at Adamstown will provide the emergency service to the subject lands.

In the event that the Fire Station is provided at Adamstown and the Clonburris site is not required, the section of wording the motion seeks to delete enables an alternative land use to be provided.

Recommendation

It is recommended that 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.
