SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF SDZ, LAPS AND PLANNING PROJECTS

MOTION NO. 14

MOTION: Councillor Teresa Costello

Special Council Meeting to Consider the Draft Tallaght Town Centre Local Area Plan

Given that the LAP envisages significantly increased population densities what steps have the council taken to ensure that the village core can cope with the services and social provisions that such population densities require.

REPORT:

The Planning Authority does not envisage a significant increase in the population of the Tallaght Village area and the Draft LAP only identifies potential for development on vacant sites. It is anticipated that the population growth anticipated for the village can be accommodated with the existing services and localised improvements.

Chapter 8 of the Draft LAP outlines the infrastructure anticipated as necessary to cater for development in the wider LAP area.

RECOMMENDATION:

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