MOTION NO. 129

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

That there is an objective in the CDP to Support resource centres for families and work with relevant agencies to source suitable sites for same.

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.  However, this motion is overly specific for this strategic stage of the Development Plan process but could be considered as part of the Draft Plan preparation on foot of the strategic direction provided under CE Recommendations. 

Recommendation:

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment to recognise that this type of objective is overly detailed for this strategic stage but could be considered as part of the draft plan preparation on foot of the strategic direction provided under the CE Recommendations:

‘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’ and ‘support and promote social inclusion having regard to the Council’s Corporate Plan and in line with national and regional policy’.
