MOTION NO. 59

MOTION: Councillor M. Ward

Page 21, under Dwelling Mix insert a new sentence at the end of the final paragraph: “The provision of Traveller specific accommodation within the overall planning scheme must be ensured to meet the needs of the existing and future Traveller community.”

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

REPORT:

It is a stated intention under Section 2.1.6 of the Draft Planning Scheme (Social Housing) for existing Traveller Accommodation sites to be integrated into the future development of the lands. Meeting existing and future needs in relation to traveller accommodation is the function of the South Dublin County Council Traveller Accommodation Programme 2014-2018. The said programme does not identify the SDZ lands for new traveller accommodation. The Draft Planning Scheme does provide scope, in the longer term, for additional traveller accommodation in the context of any subsequent reviews of the traveller accommodation programme.

It is recommended that this motion is not adopted.
