MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 13

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

That this committee requests the Chief Executive to carry out a study of wildlife on the lands adjacent to Griffeen road/R136 (current educate together school/planned community school) with a view to incorporating a biodiversity plan for the area.

REPORT:

The lands referred to in the motion appear to be lands within the Clonburris Strategic Development Zone. An Bord Pleanala approved a Planning Scheme for Clonburris in 2019. Lands in the SDZ are identified for land uses in the Planning Scheme and the development of the lands will require baseline survey work to inform ecological and environmental assessments. The design and environmental teams progressing any developments in the SDZ are required to consider the content of the Planning Scheme. In addition, the Clonburris Planning Scheme requires the preparation of a Parks and Landscaping Plan (PLS) and a Biodiversity Management Plan (BMP) prior to the commencement of development.
