BALLYMOTE ELECTORAL AREA: 

SUBMISSIONS RELATING TO BALLINAFAD MINI PLAN:

Proposed by Councillor G. Mullaney
Seconded by Councillor P. McGrath

SUBMISSIONS RELATING TO BALLYGAWLEY MINI PLAN:

Proposed by Councillor T. Collery

Proposed by Councillor M. Clarke
Seconded by Councillor T. Collery

“that this Council maintain and continue the existing residential zoning on submission number 115 of the County Manager’s report for 9 acre site at Knockmuldowney, Ballisodare, Co. Sligo”

Mr S. Ward, Acting Senior Executive Planner stated it would not be recommended to change the zoning on this site, from buffer to residential for a number of reasons including, there are already 250 vacant residential units in Ballysodare, the site itself is  elevated and visible over a wide surrounding area, access to site was poor and poor pedestrian access.  There was no justification for this proposal.

Following further discussion and as agreement could not be reached the Cathaoirleach called for a vote:

FOR:  Baker, Clarke, Collery, Gormley, Healy McGowan, O’Grady and Queenan.
AGAINST:  Barrett, Keaney, Leonard, McGrath, McLoughlin, Mullaney, Mulvey
ABSTENTIONS:  Devins, Fleming, MacManus

As the vote was 7 for, 7 against with 3 abstentions,  it was agreed in accordance with Standing Orders, that the Cathaoirleach would have a casting vote in this regard.

Seconded by Councillor T. Collery

“That the zoning matrix associated with lands covered in Submissions 75-79, 81-89 at Collooney be amended to permit retail warehousing, retail showrooms, amusement arcade, transport depots and other leisure uses.  This should apply to all lands with existing planning in this area and should not be restrictive against new developments/ businesses on these lands”

Mr S. Ward, Acting Senior Executive Planner stated it would be inappropriate to zone any further retail space as there was currently 16,000 square metres of retail warehousing floorspace permitted in Collooney and the vast majority was currently empty.  Ms. M. Davidescu, Acting Senior Executive Planner indicated that the Council’s current Retail Strategy did not make provision for any additional retail warehousing, as Sligo is already over-supplied with such retail space.  Therefore, this proposal was in direct contradiction of the Retail Strategy.  There was no justification for this proposal.

Following further discussion and as agreement could not be reached the Cathaoirleach called for a vote:

FOR:  Baker, Clarke, Collery, Fleming, Gormley, McGrath, Mullaney, Mulvey and Queenan
AGAINST:  Keaney, Leonard and MacManus

Seconded by Councillor M. Gormley

“That the development limit in Ballinacarrow be extended along the Coolaney Road and be zoned to residential – Submission no. 59 and No. 128”

Mr S. Ward, Acting Senior Executive Planner stated this motion would be inappropriate on the grounds of speculative development and further ribbon development.  

Following further discussion and as agreement could not be reached the Cathaoirleach called for a vote:

AGAINST:  Barrett, Collery, Fleming, Keaney, Leonard, McGrath, McLoughlin, Mullaney, Mulvey

SUBMISSION NO. 25:ISSUE 1:

Proposed by Councillor M. Clarke
Seconded by Councillor M. Baker

“That this Council zone submission No. 25 as requested”

Mr S. Ward, Acting Senior Executive Planner stated it would be inappropriate to zone any further residential lands with currently 25 units vacant in Ballinacarrow, the current Waste Water Treatment Plant was at capacity and the proposed N17 re-alignment could be compromised. There was no justification for this proposal.

Mr H. Kearns, County Manager indicated it would be premature to zone these lands as they may be subject to future national road developments.  

Following further discussion and as agreement could not be reached, the Cathaoirleach called for a vote:

FOR:  Baker, Clarke
AGAINST:  Barrett, Collery, Fleming, Keaney, Leonard, McGrath, McLoughlin, Mullaney, Mulvey

Seconded by Councillor M. Clarke

AND AGREED

“That this Council proposes to zone areas no 36.1 and no 50 as ‘Buffer Zones’ in the Dromore West Mini Plan”

Mr S. Ward, Acting Senior Executive Planner stated that there would be no objection to the proposed “buffer zone” zoning as both rural generated housing needs and sports/recreation uses can potentially be accommodated within this zoning category.

The meeting agreed to the Managers recommendations in relation to the Dromore West Mini Plan subject to the above amendment.

SUBMISSIONS RELATING TO EASKEY MINI PLAN:

Proposed by Councillor J. Queenan
Seconded by Councillor M. Barrett

AND AGREED

‘but it is also acknowledged that some community facilities may be accommodated in rural areas subject to site suitability”

The meeting agreed to the Managers recommendations in relation to the Drumcliff Mini Plan subject to the above amendment.

SUBMISSIONS RELATING TO GRANGE MINI PLAN: SUBMISSION E-2:

Proposed by Councillor M. Clarke
Seconded by Councillor S. MacManus

“That this Council adopt submission No. E-2 Gavin Engineering on behalf of Gileece Brothers in relation to the zoning of 23 acres at Aughagad, Grange, as proposed in the submission”

Mr S. Ward, Acting Senior Executive Planner stated there was no need to change the zoning on these lands as community facilities including, burial grounds and playing pitches are developments that are ‘open for consideration’ within the  ‘Buffer Zone’.  It would be inappropriate to zone any further residential lands in Grange with adequate lands currently zoned residential to allow for a 55% growth rate.  Site access was poor and previous planning applications had reflected this.  The approach roads with 2 no. humpback bridges would need significant improvements for safety reasons and it is unlikely that this could be achieved.  There was no justification for this proposal.

FOR:  Baker, Barry, Clarke, Collery, Devins, Gormley, Healy McGowan, MacManus, O’Grady

Seconded by Councillor H. Keaney

“Re Submission no. 121 and no. 112 – that the development limit be extended in accordance with the attached Map to include the portion of submission no. 121/112, shaded yellow to be zoned residential”

Mr S. Ward, Acting Senior Executive Planner stated it would not be recommended and was inappropriate to re-zone these lands on the grounds that it would conflict with the sequential approach zoning principle and there were inadequate wastewaster treatment facilitities.

Following further discussion,  Councillor J. Leonard withdrew this motion.

It was then,

Proposed by Councillor J. Leonard
Seconded by Councillor H. Keaney
