HEADED ITEM NO. 4
Proposed Development at Clutterland and Milltown Business Park adjacent to Grange Castle Business Park
Clutterland
The Part 8 (Planning & Development Act 2000 and the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 - 2007) process for the provision of an access road and services to 30 Acres of Council owned lands at Clutterland has been completed. Tender documents are now being finalised and it is expected that a contractor will be appointed shortly with a projected commencement date of February 2009.
Dublin Bus have recently been granted permission, subject to conditions, by An Bord Pleanála for the construction of a bus depot on these lands. The legal documentation is now being prepared for the transfer of lands and completion of the sale.
Milltown Business & Technological Park
The Council owns some 80 acres of land at Milltown, south of the Nangor Road which are zoned Objective E, to provide for Enterprise, Employment and related uses in South Dublin County Council's Development Plan 2004 - 2010. It is now proposed to commence the process of constructing the necessary infrastructure to service these lands so that they can be developed in accordance with the zoning objective. The initial development will be the provision of a main access road and services which will then allow these lands to be brought to the market.
The Part 8 (Planning & Development Act 2000 and the Planning & Development Regulations 2001-2007) process has now commenced and notice was advertised on 21st July 2008. The closing date for receipt of submissions was 19th September 2008.
It is proposed to submit a report on the matter to the November meeting of the Lucan Clondalkin Area Committee and subsequently to the December meeting of the Council.
Both these proposed works are part of the Council’s continuing programme of improving and developing critical infrastructure to promote and market the County as an ideal business location.
These projects (among others) are critical in sustaining and creating employment opportunities in the County and will be delivered as soon as possible subject to the availability of the necessary resources.
