QUESTION NO. 32

QUESTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy

To ask the Chief Executive Officer for an update on the plans for Enterprise Units as part of the Adamstown SDZ

REPLY:

An Enterprise Centre is included in the Adamstown SDZ as part of either the Tandy’s Lane Village or Tobermaclugg Village areas. The delivery of the Enterprise Centre is a Phase 8 requirement.

Section 2.6.24 and 2.6.25 of the Planning Scheme states

‘It is proposed that one enterprise centre will be provided in Adamstown. The enterprise centre shall be at least 1,500 sq.m in size. The purpose of the enterprise centre is to provide office, studio and workshop accommodation backed up by support and training facilities for local business start-ups. The enterprise centre shall be located in one of the two proposed local centres at Tandys’ Lane Village and Tobermaclugg Village, together with local shopping, schools, childcare, community centres and possibly other employment activities.’

As part of the Tandys Lane Development Area, the applicant has prepared a masterplan for the entire Development Area and submitted same as part of Phase 1 of the development area under Planning Reference SDZ19A/0011. The masterplan layout proposed by the applicant for the area is not agreed by SDCC and the planning assessment for SDZ19A/0011 will only assess the area within the red line application boundary. The submitted masterplan, prepared by the applicant, identifies an indicative site for the Enterprise Centre outside the red line boundary of the planning application.
