MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

MOTION NO. 145
MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell, Councillor P. Gogarty, Councillor L. O'Toole
Add and map reference additional location to Table 3.5: Prospects to be Preserved and Protected: 19. The River Liffey from Lucan Weir to Lucan Bridge
REPORT:
Table 3.5 names the ‘Prospects to be Preserved and Protected’, all of which are hills/mountains. The views and prospects contained in the Draft Development Plan and associated maps have been inserted following an assessment by professionals in landscape assessment and differentiating between views and prospects.
It is considered that the inclusion of any new views and/or prospects of the River Liffey and Liffey bridge in Lucan Village from adjoining roads would require an assessment carried out by an independent professional.
Given the specificity of this motion, it is considered that an SLO would be most appropriate and should be worded as follows:
‘To consider the inclusion of a new view and/or prospect of the River Liffey and Liffey bridge in Lucan Village from adjoining roads through an assessment carried out by an independent professional’.
Recommendation
It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment to provide for a new NCBH 15 SLO 1 to read:
‘To consider the inclusion of a new view and/or prospect of the River Liffey and Liffey bridge in Lucan Village from adjoining roads through an assessment carried out by an independent professional’
