QUESTION NO. 14
QUESTION: Councillor E. Walsh 2009
"To ask the Manager what the current positions are regarding the derelict old Mc Hugh shopping site at St. James Road, Greenhills, Dublin 12 and at the Burmah Oil garage at Willington in Templeogue and what measures are proposed to pursue resolutions to both these unsightly sites ?"
REPLY:
The site at St James Road, Walkinstown (formerly Greenhills Shopping Arcade), Dublin 12 was entered onto the Derelict Sites Register on 19th December, 2009. A Section 22 Notice of Determinination of Market Value was then issued to the registered owner. The registered owner was informed of their right of appeal of the valuation to the Valuation Tribunal, however, as no appeal received by the Valuation Tribunal, a Section 23 Notice of Levy Demand was issued on 3rd March, 2009 demanding an annual levy of €60,000. This levy was not paid within the two months allowed and legal proceedings have now been initiated to recover this outstanding debt.
The site at the Burmah Garage, Greenhills, Dublin 12 was recently inspected and was deemed to be in a derelict state. A Section 11 Notice is being prepared to issue to the registered owner outlining a number of works to be completed within a certain time frame. The site will be re-examined after the date the Notice expires and if the work outlined in the Notice has not been completed by that date, the site will be entered onto the Derelict Sites register and will be subject to an annual levy.
