While supportive in principle of a Ballsbridge Area Plan being prepared, I have analysed the Draft Plan, listened to the considered views of residents and others, and come to the conclusion that it is not in the interests of the area that the Draft Plan as proposed be adopted.<\/p>\n

Accordingly I have submitted the following Motion for adoption at the May meeting of the South East Area Committee<\/a>:
\n“Recognising that Dublin City Council has already rejected a proposal to designate Ballsbridge as a PUC and recognising the negative impact of an intensification of development in Ballsbridge, a predominantly
\nresidential area, this Committee:
\n1)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Rejects the proposed change in zoning of sites as indicated on page 48 of the Ballsbridge Draft Local Area Plan from Z1 and Z6 to Z10, as this would facilitate over-development in Ballsbridge.
\n2)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Rejects the Ballsbridge Draft Local Area Plan in its entirety as: the change in zoning\u00a0 \u00a0contained therein would facilitate over-development, it fails to have regard to the character and conservation status of the area and, other provisions contained therein would have a detrimental impact on the environment of the area.\u00a0 And this Committee:
\n3)\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Acknowledges that the Dublin City Development Plan 2005-2011<\/a> is the appropriate Framework for Planning and Development in the area.
\nFinally the South East Area Committee requests the City Council to endorse the terms of this motion”.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em> I hope that the adoption of this motion will give us a real opportunity to influence in a positive way the future of our area. Should you need any further clarification or if I can be of any further assistance
\nplease do not hesitate to contact me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
