MOTION IN THE NAME OF COUNCILLOR DERMOT LACEY

Recognizing the importance of good planning for the future of the City

Acknowledging Irelands commitments under the terms of the Aarhus Convention,

and thanking the many community, voluntary and civic minded bodies for their work in trying to ensure a better and more inclusive City.

Dublin City Council rejects the terms of the Planning and Development Bill currently before the Oireachtas, which seriously threatens good planning, ignores the Arhaus Convention and significantly reduces the opportunities for Citizens and Councillors to actively engage in the planning process.

The Council further calls on TDs and Senators to use their influence to reject the Bill as it currently stands and to defend the rights of Citizens and Councillors to proactively engage in good planning and to ensure that there is certainty for all – Communities and Developers - in agreed Development Plans.

As the largest Local Authority in the Country the Council further requests an opportunity to present a case to the Oireachtas Committee dealing with the Bill and requests the Planning SPC to prepare a submission for same.
