MOTION NO. 10

MOTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy

That the Council update its Lucan Village Design Statement, and that the aim be to have it ready before the next County Development Plan is adopted.

REPORT:

A response to a similar motion was provided to the Members at the October ACM by the Delivery section in the Corporate Policy and Change Management Department. In that response it was indicated that the tender brief advertised for appointment of a multi-disciplinary team led by landscape architects for public realm improvement works at the Village Green, Liffey bridge access and new steps, the promenade and Lucan Demesne require the consultants to review the Lucan Village design statement as part of the literature and policy review to facilitate an understanding of the background and context for the project.

It is understood that the Delivery section of the Corporate Policy and Change Management Department is working with consultants on this review. The update of the Lucan Village Design Statement is not something which will be undertaken by the Planning Department during the review of the County Development Plan. However, the outcome of any review could be considered as part of the preparation of the new County Development Plan.
