MOTION NO. 20

MOTION: Councillor Teresa Costello

Special Meeting of County Council to consider the  Draft Tallaght town Centre Local Area Plan

The Community has been calling for the installing of a brown heritage sign (national NRA standard) at the M50 gateway on the N81 " Welcome to Tallaght" sign to proudly signpost the County town as a place of heritage. This will not conflict with further tourist signage and is a separate, very simple, BAU request and cost effective activity that is a basic tenet to create Pride of Place and a sense of place in the County Town and Town centre.

REPORT:

This matter is outside the remit of the LAP, however, the Planning Authority acknowledges the requests for a brown heritage sign on the N81. The Roads Department are set to prepare a signage strategy for the county and this matter will be considered as part of this process.

It should be noted that any future proposals affecting the N81 should be agreed with TII and the NTA and are required to comply with Section 28 Guidelines 'Spatial Planning and National Roads Guidelines for Planning Authorities (2012). 

RECOMMENDATION:

No further amendment required as clarification on the matter has been provided.
