MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Wednesday, January 27, 2021

MOTION NO. 253

MOTION: Councillor T. Costello

That this council produce and monitor a plan to restore and manage the Tallaght wetlands, collaborate with local experts.

REPORT:  

While the merits of the motion are acknowledged, this is too detailed a matter for this stage of the Plan making process. The CE Recommendation provides for policies and objectives within the Plan that ‘reflect the objectives of the National Biodiversity Action Plan 2017-2021, or subsequent plans’. 

Recommendation:   It is recommended that 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 Recommendation:

‘Develop policies and objectives within the Draft Plan that reflect the objectives of the National Biodiversity Action Plan 2017-2021, or subsequent plans.’
