MOTION NO. 72

MOTION: Councillor Shane Moynihan

That the Development Plan commits the Council to the provision of additional arts, culture and performing arts facilities in the County, taking account of transport links.

REPORT:

It is a policy of the existing County Development Plan 2016-2022 to facilitate the continued development of arts and culture in the County with objectives C3 Objective 1 and 2 relating to suitable locations and accessibility to such facilities for all. As part of the plan review process a social infrastructure audit is being carried out which will inform policy provision in regard to the infrastructural requirements within the County with the aim of ensuring access for all.

Recommendation:  

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment recognising that this type of policy provision/objective can be considered as part of the draft plan preparation on foot of the CE Strategic Recommendation (See Part 3) page 31 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’.
