MOTION NO. 53
MOTION: Councillor B. Lawlor, Councillor David McManus, Councillor Baby Pereppadan
That the 'Proposed Primary School' Specific Objective be removed from the 1.9 hectares of lands at Stocking Avenue [Site A],
REPORT:
This motion seeks to remove the School Symbol Objective from the 1.9 hectares of land at Stocking Avenue. It is noted that there is no proposed justification supporting this motion or alternative for the schooling need in the Templeogue area.
The Planning Department liaised with the Department of Education and Skills (DES) in preparation of the draft Plan. Based on the information in the Core Strategy and the DES’s own internal analysis of schooling requirements it was determined that there was a need for an additional school on this site. This requirement is above any schools which have been granted permission and awaiting funding or in the process of seeking planning permission. On this basis, the proposed motion should not be adopted.
Recommendation
It is recommended that this motion is not adopted.
