Amendment Ref. No. 7 of Variation No. 2 of the South Dublin Development Plan 2022-2028. That if the lands adjoining Edmondstown Golf Club, referred to in Amendment No. 7 proceed to residential rezoning, as proposed, a Specific Local Objective (SLO) similar to that applied to nearby residential lands to the south to be placed on these lands. COS 4 SLO 5:- To ensure that any future development has regard to the boundary with and protection of the amenity and function of Edmondstown Golf Course.

Reasons: To ensure a consistent approach is maintained on these lands, in line with existing SLO on the southern boundary which is already in place in the existing County Development Plan. This new SLO would be on the North and North-West side of the boundary of Edmonstown Golf Course.

Submitted with Councillor Paddy Cosgrave

CE Response 

The motion requests that, if the lands adjoining Edmondstown Golf Club, referred to in Amendment No. 7 proceed to residential rezoning, as proposed, a Specific Local Objective (SLO) similar to that applied to nearby residential lands to the south to be placed on these lands which states:  

 

COS 4 SLO 5: To ensure that any future development has regard to the boundary with and protection of the amenity and function of Edmondstown Golf Course. 

 

It is noted that a similar request was made during the public consultation on Variation No. 2. It was considered in the CE Report that the existing SLO was sufficient, having a general application for future development. In the interest of clarity, it is recommended that the following SLO be applied to the proposed residential zoned lands at Edmondstown Road.  

 

Conclusion 

It is recommended that an SLO (similar to the existing COS4 SLO 5) be applied to the Amendment No. 7 lands at Edmondstown Road.  

CE Recommendation 

To amend the proposed Variation and Amendment 7 to include a new Specific Local Objective on the lands as follows: 

 

CS7 SLO X: To ensure that any future development has regard to the boundary with and protection of the amenity and function of Edmondstown Golf Course.
