MOTION NO.
MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell, Councillor P. Gogarty, Councillor L. O'Toole
4. Motion Cllr Liona O'Toole co-signed Cllrs Paul Gogarty and Cllr Guss O'Connell • To add in following SLO: RE CARELINE educational site. 'That the school site in Careline be further developed for educational and youth purposes.'
REPORT:
The motion seeks to insert a Specific Local Objective (SLO) at the Careline education sites which states ‘That the school site in Careline be further developed for education and youth purposes’
The Peter McVerry Trust Carline is a Learning Centre in Balgaddy, Lucan which works with young people who cannot access mainstream education due to a number of circumstances, for example: need for further learning support, educational, emotional, social or behavioural challenges.
The content of the motion is noted. The centre is within Clonburris SDZ where a SLO is not appropriate. An SDZ is a stand-alone planning scheme adopted through its own process and as such, the Development Plan cannot impose objectives. It is considered that any further development for education and youth purposes is something which will be assessed in the normal way based on the provisions of the SDZ, which, as it stands, does not preclude any further development. The centre is in the ownership of the PMVT and it is considered that the operation and further development of the centre is a matter for the providers.
Recommendation
It is recommended that this motion is not adopted.
