D2.5<br />

It was proposed by <strong>Council</strong>lor D. O’Connor and seconded by <strong>Council</strong>lor M.<br />

McKeon.<br />

“That the area of Moonlone Lane, Naul marked red on the adjoining map be zoned<br />

‘RC’ Rural Cluster”.<br />

The following report by the Manager which had been circulated was<br />

CONSIDERED<br />

“This site was the subject of MD2.1 which was defeated.<br />

The site is zoned RU in the <strong>Draft</strong> Development Plan. The total area being sought is<br />

approximately 12 ha. The site is located approximately 1.6km east of the Naul.<br />

There is an extensive planning history on the lands. 11 planning applications have<br />

been refused because of the inadequacy of the road network.<br />

The subject lands comprise of approximately 21 houses along a laneway which are<br />

set back making it difficult to provide for additional houses on the individual sites.<br />

Within the subject lands there appears to be 3 fields available (3.37 ha) which have<br />

no existing houses on them but could potentially accommodate approximately 10<br />

houses. It is not considered appropriate given the inadequate road network to<br />

zone the lands RC. The subject lands are in close proximity to the Naul Village and<br />

it is considered that there are a sufficient number of Rural Clusters in the <strong>County</strong><br />

to provide for rural generated housing need.<br />

The delineation of the lands does not lend itself to development in accordance<br />

with the RC zoning objective, which is to ‘Provide for small scale infill<br />

development serving local needs while maintaining the rural nature of the<br />

cluster’. The development for housing of these lands would be likely to result in<br />

ribbon development which would be unsightly, out of keeping with the rural<br />

character of the area and detrimental to traffic safety.<br />

There is a sufficient quantum of land zoned in the Naul to cater for the needs of<br />

the village. The proposed rezoning would be contrary to Objective Villages 1 of the<br />

<strong>Draft</strong> Development Plan,
