BALBRIGGAN/SWORDS AREA COMMITTEE MEETING

ITEM NO. 50
AI042483
Question: Councillor B. Dennehy:
"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the progress of Objective
14 in Rush for the County Development Plan and the wider study
which consisted of a desire to examine the feasibility of developing a
marina and auxiliary and associated facilities at the Ramparts,
Rogerstown, Rush designed and built in accordance with sustainable
ecological standards and avoiding significant adverse impacts on
European Sites and species. Such consideration shall take cognisance
of a wider study into marina development along the Fingal coastline
(Objective ED82, Chapter 6: Economic Development refers)?”
Reply:
A programme of Local Area Plans, Masterplans, Urban Framework Plans
and studies identified in the new County Development Plan and to be
completed within the next three years was presented to the Elected
Members at the September 2017 Full Council Meeting. The programme is
cognisant of the finite resources available within the Planning & Strategic
Infrastructure Department and reflective of the Council’s strategic
priorities.
While the two studies referenced in the question above are not included
in the 3 year work programme, the significant number of submissions
made during the Development Plan process on this issue is acknowledged
and, in this regard, the resources required to carry out the these studies
will be considered in the context of the committed work programme and
Council’s strategic priorities.
