SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Wednesday, January 27, 2021

MOTION NO. 130

MOTION: Councillor Shane Moynihan

That the Development Plan makes a specific objective of including 'Changing Places' facilities in all community and county buildings being newly constructed or refurbished during the lifetime of this Development Plan.

REPORT: 

The provision of community infrastructure is an important part of the delivery of sustainable communities and successful urban areas. South Dublin County Council will continue to support the delivery of community infrastructure through a range of plans and programmes including the County Development Plan.  An objective for the provision of specific facilities in individual buildings is overly specific for inclusion at this strategic stage of the Development Plan process.

It is noted that newly constructed buildings by the Council will be subject to Part 8 which will be brought to the Members.

Recommendation:

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment:

As this type of objective is overly detailed for this strategic stage, it can be considered as part of the draft plan preparation on foot of the CE Strategic Recommendations as follows;

‘Support policies and objectives that protect and enhance existing community resources and support the development and expansion of new facilities and services in proximity to the populations they serve where their need is identified, and resources allow’.
