MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 9

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"That this Committee agrees that the site at the proposed new community centre at the Old St Mary's School should be used for provision of bring banks at the design stage and planning condition for the development."

REPORT:

This matter has been examined by the Waste Management Section of the Council's Environment, Water and Climate Change Directorate and the matter has been raised with both the Planning Department and the Housing and Community Department of the Council.  The advice received from those Departments of the Council is that the proposed new community facility at the Old Schoolhouse (St. Mary’s) in Saggart was approved by the elected members at the June 2020 Council meeting.  The detailed design stage for the facility has also been completed and construction works are due to commence as soon as Covid 19 restrictions are eased and allow this to happen.  Based on this advice it is not possible to alter the current design proposals to incorporate a recycling bring bank, as no such provision was included during the planning of this community facility.
