Map No. Chief Executive’s Response & Recommendation
Lands to facilitate the development of a post primary school. Access and connectivity to be maximised for pedestrians and cyclists with existing and future residential areas. The remaining 50% of the site shall provide for publicly accessible, passive open space. A landscaping audit shall be undertaken to inform the retention of mature trees, hedgerows and species of biodiversity value in any proposed development layout. (iv) Existing Education facilities to be zoned “ZO 13 Education”. The site is zoned “ ZO 16 Public Open Space ” . Chapter 6 sets out objectives relating to public open space including “ to protect, retain, improve and provide for areas of public open space for recreation and amenity purposes. There will be a presumption against development of land zoned Public Open Space for alternative purposes”. It is clearly stated that this includes public open space within housing estates as per Objective 6.18 (b), which sets out a presumption against development on all open space in residential estates in the city, including any green area / public amenity area that formed part of an executed planning permission for development and was identified for the purposes of recreation / amenity open space, and also including land which has been habitually used as public open space. Such lands shall be protected for recreation, open space and amenity purposes. The site performs an informal, ancillary public open space function within this established residential area. the proposed rezoning is not considered appropriate. Recommendation:
Proposed rezoning of land at Glenanaar, Boreenmanna Road from “ZO 16 Public Open Space” to “ZO 2 New Residential Neighbourhoods”.
