MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Wednesday, January 27, 2021

MOTION NO. 125

MOTION: Councillor E. Murphy

That this Council directs the Chief Executive to ensure the protection of existing open green spaces in our County, including the protection of all playing pitches on open green spaces; and to generally limit any new non-recreational development on currently-zoned open green spaces

REPORT:

The Development Plan will seek to protect existing open green spaces and to restrict inappropriate forms of development. The CE Recommendation ‘Informed by Green Infrastructure and Parks and Open Space strategies, recognise the diverse and key roles that parks and open spaces have for sustainable communities and healthy placemaking’ will allow for full consideration of the requirement of green spaces in terms of standards and the type of use provided for within them.

Recommendation:

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment to recognise that this type of policy provision or 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 Recommendation:

‘Informed by Green Infrastructure and Parks and Open Space strategies, recognise the diverse and key roles that parks and open spaces have for sustainable communities and healthy placemaking’.
