At the Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council Meeting on the 11th April 2011 your elected Councillors put forward and passed the following motions with which your residents association agrees. That this Council amend CDP Variation No 2- Draft SUFP (Sandyford Urban Framework Plan) as follows: remove the provision for additional height on Sites 3 and 4 (D14) and remove relevant star symbol which denotes special provision for additional height of 1-2 storeys.
This motion was accepted by the County Manager, Owen Keegan, and incorporated into the Draft of the Sandyford Urban Framework Plan. The County Manager, following submissions by a number of landowners/developers, now wishes to REVERSE this motion. He recommends ADDITIONAL HEIGHTS along Blackthorn Avenue and is reneging on his commitment from April of this year. He also mentioned at the April meeting that he had heard no opinions from the residents of Lakelands.
The final vote on the Sandyford Urban Framework plan will take place on Monday September 12. Up to twenty eight Councillors will vote on this plan at the Council meeting. We strongly URGE residents to CONTACT the County Manager and the County Councillors to ensure that they support the original motions. Please remind the local councillors to obtain the support of of their fellow party members on the Council.
