MOTION: Councillor William Joseph Carey, Councillor Derren Ó Brádaigh

Page 169, Housing (H) Policy 14, insert a new objective 'H14 Objective 3: To review and update the South County Dublin House Extension Design Guide, 2010 to facilitate the provision of mid terrace extensions in Local Authority housing stock where such extensions are being funded through the housing adaptation grant.'

REPORT:

This motion seeks to insert a new objective under Policy H14. That policy states: ‘Support the extension of existing dwellings subject to the protection of residential and visual amenities.’

The proposed objective states: ‘To review and update the South County Dublin House Extension Design Guide, 2010 to facilitate the provision of mid terrace extensions in Local Authority housing stock where such extensions are being funded through the housing adaptation grant’

 The merit of the motion is noted. It is considered that the intention of the motion is reflected under H14 Objective 2 which states: ‘To review and update the South Dublin County Council House Extension Design Guide, 2010 during the lifetime of this Development Plan.’

 An amendment to this objective will meet the purpose of the motion.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment to reflect that the existing H14   Objective 2 as currently set out in the CE Draft Plan is sufficient to provide for the intent of the motion: ‘To review and update the South Dublin County Council House Extension Design Guide, 2010 during the lifetime of this Development Plan, to include a review of design options for mid terrace type extensions.’
