MOTION NO.
MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell, Councillor P. Gogarty, Councillor L. O'Toole
Insert COS 11 SLO: To promote and support the development of a multi-use community building and community radio centre on the lands indicated.
REPORT:
The Planning Department consulted with the Economic Development Department on this motion. The Economic Development Department have commented that they have been in engagement with the schools and the parish in respect to using Council owned lands as part of the further development of schools in addition to securing a wider beneficial community use for the subject lands.
To this end the Community Department has engaged with the Esker Community Initiative to assess the wider community benefit, it is hoped to come to an agreement with the parties involved and once the terms and conditions are agreed it will be subject to the approval of the members in accordance with the provisions of Section 183 of the Local Government Act, 2001 and in accordance with Section 211 of the Planning & Development Act, 2000.
The matter will be advanced through the relevant procedures noting that these are subject to the reserved functions of the Members. However, it is considered that an SLO can go on the lands and would be best placed in section 8.5 of Chapter 8.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment to read:
COS 3 SLO X
To proactively engage with the Esker Community Initiative and support the development of a multi-use community building on Council owned lands adjacent to the N4 slip road to the R120 and north of St. Thomas’ Primary School’
