MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Wednesday, January 27, 2021

MOTION NO. 34

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

That this Council supports and will have as an objective to investigate and work with other agencies to provide senior housing at land beside the 4 Districts Day Care Centre in Rathcoole.

REPORT:

This motion is overly specific for this stage of the Development Plan process, however the merit of providing senior housing is noted. It is envisaged that policies and objectives in the Housing Strategy and other sections of the Development Plan 2022 – 2028 will support other Agencies in the provision of Housing Needs for the people of South Dublin.  

Recommendation:

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment. This type of policy provision can be considered as part of the draft plan preparation on foot of the CE Strategic Recommendation (See Part 3) page 25 as follows; ‘Ensure that the Housing Strategy recognises the diverse needs of all of South Dublin’s citizens meeting, insofar as is feasible, their diverse accommodation needs.’
