MOTION NO. 339

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

Section 4.10 South Dublin County Council shall work with the relevant Government Departments, NAMA and Clonburris Landowners in (1) establishing a capital fund to provide vital infrastructure without recourse to a Section 49 mechanism and (2) negotiate affordable prices, for residences within the SDZ, as a consequence.

Councillors Guss O’Connell, Liona O’Toole, Paul Gogarty and Francis Timmons

REPORT:

The Chief Executive fully supports the implementation of the Planning Scheme.

In relation to viability, all measures and funding streams available for the release of funding to provide for the delivery of infrastructure and community facilities in Clonburris will be pursued in conjunction with landowners/ developers.

In carrying out its role as Development Agency, the Council will seek to coordinate with all relevant stakeholders, including Government Departments and agencies responsible for the provision of infrastructure to ensure coordinated delivery and funding.

Section 4.10 of the Draft Planning Scheme refers to Funding and Implementation. It states that ‘The development of the SDZ lands is subject to the SDCC Section 48 Development Contribution Scheme 2016-2022 and the Kildare Route Project Section 49 Contribution Scheme and any applicable superseding schemes.

In some cases, the completion of works required to facilitate residential development in a phased manner within the Planning Scheme are outside the direct control of either SDCC, the SDZ landowners or the Development Agency.

All measures and funding streams available for the release of funding to provide for the delivery of infrastructure and community facilities in Clonburris will be pursued in conjunction with landowners/ developers.’

The Chief Executive report recommends the insertion of the following text in Section 4.10

The SDZ Order (S.I. No. 604 of 2015) states that the development agency specified for the purposes of section 168 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) is South Dublin County Council. South Dublin County Council shall proactively manage and promote the integrated development of this Planning Scheme.

It is considered that the intent of the motion is already covered in the Draft Planning Scheme and the recommendation of the Chief Executive’s report and as such, the motion is not adopted.
