MOTION NO.
MOTION: Councillor Peter Kavanagh, Councillor Liam Sinclair, Councillor L. Donaghy, Councillor S.McEneaney
Core Strategy and Settlement Strategy Motion: To insert a new Strategic Local Objective (H3 SLO1) Any future development should have regard to the boundary with and protection of the amenity and function of Edmondstown Golf Course.
REPORT:
It is recognised that the lands to the east of the golf course are zoned for residential development. The proposal that future development should have regard to the boundary of the golf course to protect its function, but also to ensure the safety of any new residents, is considered appropriate.
However, it is considered that the The motion seeks to insert a SLO under Housing Policy which states ’Any future development should have regard to the boundary with and protection of the amenity and function of Edmondstown Golf Course.’
location for such an SLO, within Policy H3 would not be appropriate as it sets objectives for Housing for Older People. A more appropriate location for insertion would be in Policy COS 4 which states:
Ensure that all communities are supported by a range of sporting facilities that are fit for purpose, accessible and adaptable.
And which sets out a number of related objectives.
Recommendation
It is recommended that this motion is adopted to insert a new objective within COS 3 to read:
To ensure that any future development has regard to the boundary with and protection of the amenity and function of Edmondstown Golf Course.
