SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING
Thursday, June 17, 2021
MOTION NO. 65
MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons
Motion : Need a proactive SLO for the lands zoned regeneration in Central Tallaght - a strong mix of land uses that intensify enterprise, industry and emnployment is needed. The LAP and rezone has not delivered regeneration - unprecedented SHDs only have flooded in - no new jobs to regenerate or transform these lands for Tallaght. A proactive strategy and program for these lands is required to deliver intensive industry and employment into these areas as well as the SHD apartment applications.
REPORT:
The motions seeks a Specific Local Objective (SLO) for the lands zoned regeneration in Central Tallaght to ensure a strong mix of employment intensive uses alongside SHD apartment applications.
The Tallaght Local Area Plan (LAP), as adopted in June 2020, already contains policies to ensure the delivery of a mix of new homes and employment space to support the needs of the County. Implementing the policies in this LAP will take time to come into effect. As such, the SLO proposed is considered to duplicate the provisions already set out in the Local Area Plan and could have the potential to mislead an applicant in preparation of a proposal for development within this area. It is therefore not considered that a new SLO is required.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that this motion is not adopted.
