MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Tuesday, March 01, 2022

MOTION NO.86

MOTION: Councillor Yvonne Collins

This motion relates to Chapter 9: Economic Development and Employment, Submission SD-C195-19 on page 389 (or 386) of the report. Amend Policy EDE20 Greenways, Trails and Loops to add at the end of this policy the following words 'and actively promote public awareness of the location and availability of these resources'

REPORT:

EDE 20 states as follows ‘Support and facilitate the development of an integrated network of Greenways (combined off road cycle and walking routes) and Trails (walking routes) along suitable corridors, with local connections to villages and attractions and to take account of the environmental sensitivities along these corridors.’  

While the detail of any marketing or promotion activities are not matters for the County Development Plan, the provision of sensitive signage would also help to promote public awareness and it is considered reasonable to insert wording supporting such promotion and marketing. 

CE Recommendation:    It is recommended that EDE 20 be amended as follows 

 ‘Support and facilitate the development of an integrated network of Greenways (combined off road cycle and walking routes) and Trails (walking routes) along suitable corridors, with local connections to villages and attractions and to take account of the environmental sensitivities along these corridors and actively promote public awareness of the location and availability of these resources'
