MOTION NO.11

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

That the Chief Executive provides a comprehensive written update on the Adamstown SDZ progress given that the last briefing did not take place as originally scheduled and furthermore takes note of queries raised by members today that it cannot respond to immediately so that it these matters can be dealt with more adequately when the SDZ briefing eventually takes place, hopefully in the near future.

REPORT:
Adamstown Update
- c4,200 homes are now completed/occupied, and c.800 are under construction as of Q3 2023.
- Adamstown District Centre Plaza open
- Airlie Park opened in November 2023, which provides a plethora of facilities for residents, including a cricket pitch, tennis courts, a basket ball court, full size astro turf and a pavilion café, in addition to several play and seating areas.
- The proposed health centre, which has planning permission for a change of use from marketing suite to health centre under REF: SDZ22A/0012, is proposed to be located at 1 Adamstown Boulevard, the former marketing suite in Adamstown. SDCC has sought details of the future health services to be provided in the building and timelines for occupation for the next quarterly Councillor SDZ briefing, scheduled for March 6th.
- SDCC submitted a proposed amendment to the Planning Scheme in February 2023, which SDCC Planning Delivery briefed the Councillors on in December 2022 and Q1 2023 with regard what was included in the proposed amendment. This was due for determination in June 2023, however no decision has been issued by An Bord Pleanála.
- The delivery of the Planning Scheme has now entered Phase 6

The Land Use Planning and Transportation Department will continue to work with landowners, developers, state agencies and Cllrs to deliver the SDZ and will continue to provide updates and discussion with the Councillors via SDZ briefings, with the next one due to be held in March. A clerical error in relation to a specific briefing on the R136 Section 38 caused confusion in December. The next SDZ briefing on Adamstown and Clonburris is scheduled for March 6th
