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.
5. That this amendment to the Development Contribution Scheme shall
apply to all complying developments for which planning permission is granted in
the specified areas for 3 years from the date this motion if passed, amends the
existing Development Contributions Scheme.
