MOTION NO. 12

MOTION: Councillor William Joseph Carey, Councillor Derren Ó Brádaigh

Page 54, Core Strategy (CS) Policy 8, insert in Objective 1 'and increased open space amenity' after 'active travel'

REPORT: 

The motion seeks to amend CS8 Objective 1 by inserting 'and increased open space amenity' after 'active travel'. The motion proposes a change to this objective as follows:

From: To facilitate the commencement and completion of development on zoned residential lands within and contiguous to the settlement boundary facilitating connections to the village core and other areas to provide for active travel.

To: To facilitate the commencement and completion of development on zoned residential lands within and contiguous to the settlement boundary facilitating connections to the village core and other areas to provide for active travel and increased open space amenity.

It is considered that the proposed additional wording is acceptable however the content of motion ID 70827 which proposes further additional wording can also be taken into consideration. It is considered that an amalgamated version of both motions is acceptable and would therefore read as follows: 

‘To facilitate the commencement and completion of development on zoned residential lands within and contiguous to the settlement boundary facilitating connections to the village core and other areas to provide for active travel and the provision of necessary open space and community amenities in close proximity.’

Recommendation:  

It is recommended that the motion be adopted with amendments taking into consideration the content of this motion and motion 70827 such that CS8 Objective 1 reads: 

‘To facilitate the commencement and completion of development on zoned residential lands within and contiguous to the settlement boundary facilitating connections to the village core and other areas to provide for active travel and the provision of necessary open space and community amenities in close proximity.’
