MOTION NO. 69

MOTION: Councillor Eoin Ó Broin

Built Environment and Placemaking Section: Add the bullet, 'Review the existing boundaries of Architectural Conservation Areas' to the Built Environment and Placemaking section.

REPORT:

The strong relationship between Architectural Conservation Areas and our Built Environment / sense of place is recognised. Given the strategic nature of this stage of the plan making process it is considered that this motion is overly specific. However, the premise of the motion which seeks to acknowledge the role of ACA’s and the implementation of placemaking initiatives and projects within such areas, creating more attractive environments can be considered as part of the draft plan preparation on foot of the CE Strategic. Recommendation.

Recommendation: 

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment. As this type of policy provision or objective is overly specific for this strategic stage, it can be considered as part of the draft plan preparation on foot of the CE Strategic Recommendation (See Part 3) page 27 as follows;  

‘Provide for the protection, preservation and promotion of the built heritage, including architectural heritage and archaeological heritage’.
