MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

MOTION NO. 142

MOTION: Councillor Shane Moynihan

That the Development Plan maximise the number of structured sports facilities, with regard to the diversity of sports clubs in the County and that these facilities be appropriate for those sports.

REPORT:

The provision of community infrastructure is an important part of the delivery of sustainable communities and successful urban areas. The South Dublin County Development Plan 2022-2028 will continue to support the development of sports and leisure facilities at appropriate locations within the County and will seek to optimise the use of community and sports facilities.

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.

‘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’.
