MOTION NO. 70

MOTION: Councillor E. O'Brien

That Section 2.1.3 be amended to remove ‘betting office’ from the list of developments provided for in residential areas

REPORT:

It is advised that Betting Offices are listed as open for consideration in Local Nodes only in the residential land use area and such uses will also be subject to detailed assessment and scrutiny at planning application stage in terms of impact on existing surrounding and proposed uses. This is consistent with the land use approach of the South Dublin County Council Development Plan.

Furthermore, such uses are listed as permitted in principle in urban areas subject to compliance with the restriction of uses provisions (Section 2.4) of the Draft Planning Scheme.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this 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.
