HEADED ITEM NO. 15

HEADED ITEM: C. Performance and Change Management Directorate

REVOKE CLONBURRIS STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT ZONE SCHEME 2008’ IN LINE WITH SECTION 171 OF THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT ACT 2000 (AS AMENDED)

REPLY:

This headed item proposes a resolution to revoke the Clonburris SDZ Planning Scheme 2008.

Rationale for Revoking the Clonburris SDZ Planning Scheme 2008

On May 8th 2019, An Bord Pleanála, under the provision of the Planning and Development Act, 2000 (as amended) APPROVED the making of the planning scheme for Clonburris, subject to modifications and clarifications.

South Dublin County Council has now prepared a consolidated planning scheme document, integrating the modifications and clarifications as approved by An Bord Pleanála. The consolidated Clonburris SDZ Planning Scheme 2019 document will now be used by the Planning Authority in assessing all planning applications in the SDZ and is available at www.clonburris.ie

South Dublin County Council published a notice of approval of the Clonburris SDZ Planning Scheme 2019 as required under the Planning and Development Act, 2000 (as amended), on Monday September 30th 2019 in the Irish Times and Thursday October 3rd in the Lucan Gazette.

Section 171 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) outlines that the Council may revoke a planning scheme by resolution, with the consent of the relevant development agency. The revoking of a Planning Scheme is a reserved function. This has not been carried out by South Dublin County Council (SDCC) to date for the Clonburris SDZ Planning Scheme 2008.

The Clonburris SDZ Planning Scheme 2019 is a strategic framework prepared having regard to current planning and environmental policy and legislation and using best practice urban design principles for the development of the area.

The Clonburris SDZ Planning Scheme 2008 does not comply with the Government Order (December 2015) designating the SDZ and is being revoked to prevent any public or planning policy uncertainty for the development of the lands.

Recommendation

Following the approval and preparation of the Clonburris SDZ Planning Scheme 2019, the Chief Executive hereby recommends that a resolution is passed to revoke the Clonburris SDZ Planning Scheme 2008.
