NOTICES OF MOTION

 

(a)    Motion from Cllr. Aiden Pendlebury

That this Council agrees there is a need for a new financial mechanism to be developed quickly by NAMA (National Assets Management Agency) and the government to solve the growing problem of unfinished inhabited NAMA estates. That this mechanism would allow local authorities to access funding to complete any necessary infrastructural work on these estates within their area boundaries. 

 

If this motion is passed that it would be forwarded to other local authorities and relevant Ministers of State for their consideration. “

 

(b)    Motion from Cllr. Phil O’Regan

That this Council in aid of encouraging the rejuvenation and use for commercial and retail purposes of property in this town’s core shall as a matter of urgency review our Development Contributions Scheme and agree a minimum 35% reduction in our contributions requirements for infrastructure and amenity in respect of:

 

(a)   Commercial Developments (including retail) in existing premises in this town core as defined on the map displayed in the chamber at this meeting and showing the affected streets as coloured yellow.

     

(b)   Living over the shop residential development in existing premises in the same town core area. (excluding residential property development for letting) conditional on the planning applicant entering into a S47 Agreement with this Council incorporating an unconditional undertaking to permanently reside in the subject property for a minimum period of 7 years from the completion of the development – timed from the date which is no more than 24 days after a completion notice filed with this Council is verified by the Town Council’s technical, engineering or architectural staff (as appropriate).

 

It shall be an express condition of the reduction of the Development Scheme Contributions than the Amendment shall only apply to:

 

1.      Existing commercial and retail development in the town core streets, as shown coloured yellow on the map and shall not apply to new developments on presently vacant sites.

2.      To those planning applicants who specifically enter into S.47 agreements to personally reside in the ‘over the shop’ residential accommodation (and for the avoidance of doubt shall not apply to lessees, tenants and/or assignees).

 

3.      Where, if the permanent residential user is breached the full Development Contributions which would otherwise apply at the date of this motion are resubstituted automatically and immediately become due and payable.

 

4.      That every qualifying planning permission granted for redevelopment in the amended Development Contribution Scheme area shall be conditioned accordingly.
