MOTION NO.

MOTION: Councillor William Joseph Carey, Councillor Derren Ó Brádaigh

Chapter 6 - HOUSING (Page 160 Policy 2 - Supply of Housing) H2 Objective 1: Amend From: H2 Objective 1: To maximise the use of existing housing stock, facilitating and promoting upgrade/retrofit of existing stock reducing energy demand and addressing Climate Change. Amend To: To maximise the use of existing housing stock, facilitating and promoting upgrade/retrofit of existing stock reducing energy demand and addressing Climate Change, prioritising window and door replacement programme impacted by Covid 19, and in line with the Energy, Efficiency and Retrofitting Programme 2021-2030

REPORT:

 The motion seeks to insert ‘prioritising window and door replacement programme impacted by Covid 19, and in line with the Energy, Efficiency and Retrofitting Programme 2021-2030’ at the end of H2 Objective 1.

The motion is welcomed and considered reasonable. However, in the interest of any potential changes to the programme it is considered appropriate to just make reference to the ‘Retrofitting programme or any other superseding plans to ensure the objective responds to the changes.  

Therefore, the amended wording recommended reads ‘in line with the Energy, Efficiency and Retrofitting Programme 2021-2030 (or any superseding document)’

Recommendation: It is recommended that the motion be adopted with amendments taking into consideration the content of this motion and motion 71095 such that H1 Objective 2 reads:

‘To maximise the use of existing housing stock, prioritising Council voids, facilitating and promoting upgrade/retrofit of existing stock reducing energy demand and addressing Climate Change in line with the Energy, Efficiency and Retrofitting Programme 2021-2030 (or any superseding document)’
