SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Wednesday, January 27, 2021

MOTION NO. 87

MOTION: Councillor Shane Moynihan

That the Development Plan commits the Council to the provision of Heritage and History trail information as part of the rollout of the Draft Signage Strategy, which would provide history on various district centres and townlands in the County, including background on placenames etc.

REPORT:

This motion relates to the provision of trail information as part of the rollout of the Draft Signage Strategy. The Development Plan cannot commit the Council to provide something as part of a separate strategy which may not be a part of that strategy. The provision of heritage and history trail information would be better addressed at the review of the Heritage Plan.

The motion is overly prescriptive to be considered a strategic policy objective and is not a matter which can be properly addressed within the Development Plan.

Recommendation:  It is recommended that this motion is not adopted.
