The cumulative adoption of the motions increases the minimum employment floorspace from 31,115 sqm in the DPS to 45,015 sqm. The breakdown of the 31,115sqm would provide for a minimum of 17,600 sqm at Kishoge and a minimum of 27, 415 sqm at Clonburris.

It is considered that this motion implements the content of Motion 155 and it recommended that they be considered in tandem:

Item 56602 (Motion 155 - Cllr Gogarty) – Text changes to Section 2.6.2 including increasing minimum employment floorspace quantum in the SDZ.

Please refer to the responses to Item 56602 (Motion 155). The Chief Executive recommends that the proposed changes to the employment floorspace elements of the DPS, including Tables not be adopted.

The scheme is designed to align employment with public transport as stated above. It may also give rise to indirect negative effects in terms of material assets (transport) and population and human health SEOS in terms of overall sustainable communities. . It is not recommended this motion be adopted.

Appropriate Assessment Screening of Chief Executive’s Recommendation

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