To each Member of South Dublin County Council
Proposed Disposal of Land at Moorfield for provision of an ESB Sub-Station.
The Council developed a Housing Scheme at Moorfield, Clondalkin comprising 45 dwellings for letting under the Scheme of Letting Priorities. The scheme was completed in February 2006.
In order to facilitate the supply of electricity to the overall development, the ESB stated that it was necessary to install an ESB Sub-Station on the site.
The location of the sub-station was agreed with the County Architect and access to the sub-station site is via the existing public road network. The contract included provision for all necessary builders work associated with the provision of the sub-station.
The area of land to be disposed of is outlined in red on attached drawing (OS No 3261-19) comprising an area of circa 12.318 sq. m.
It is recommended that the Council dispose of its interest in the plot of land comprising 12.318sq. m. or thereabouts as shown on drawing No. 3261-19 at Moorfield, subject to the following conditions:-
That this plot of land be transferred free of charge to the ESB for the provision of an electricity sub-station in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreement for the supply of electricity to the development at Moorfield.
That the ESB will be granted a right of way over the section of road coloured yellow on drawing 3261-19 to access the ESB substation, to be used in common with the Council, it’s invitees and all other persons authorised by the Council.
The Council reserves the right, at its absolute discretion to re-locate the right of way to an alternative location, in the context of the re-design or re-development of the adjoining lands.
That the normal conditions for a disposal of this nature will apply.
The ESB has offered to pay a contribution of €572 plus VAT and Outlay in respect of the Councils legal fees in this transaction.
The land is registered within Folio No.491 to South Dublin County Council.
I recommend that this disposal be proceeded with subject to the aforementioned conditions.
