MOTION NO. 10

MOTION: Councillor Yvonne Collins

Overarching Strategic Direction That this Council shall promote an inclusive, safe and comfortable environment with amenities and facilities to accommodate those with intellectual disabilities.

REPORT:

The County Development Plan is a strategic document which sets out the overall policies and objectives which will help achieve our vision for the county over the next 6 years. At the local and neighbourhood level that includes supporting all who live in the County and their needs insofar as is feasible within a spatial planning framework. On an ongoing basis the development management system supports the delivery of appropriate development where it is needed for the support and care of people who have particular needs. The CE Strategic Recommendation (See Part 3) page 25 bullet 6 states as follows;

‘Promote quality of life for all generations through the creation of healthy and attractive places to live, work, visit, invest in, as an overarching consideration in the preparation of the Draft Plan’.

Through the implementation of this objective the County Development Plan will support actions of service providers. However, in order to recognise that there may be a range of needs within the different generations at this strategic level of the Plan process, without specifying any particular needs, it is considered that the CE Recommendation should be amended.

Recommendation:  

It is recommended that the motion is adopted with amendment:

‘Promote quality of life for all generations, recognising diverse needs, through the creation of healthy and attractive places to live, work, visit, invest in, as an overarching consideration in the preparation of the Draft Plan’.
