There are no current Planning Applications in relation to the site.

An investigation was previously carried out by Planning Enforcement in relation to non-compliance with Conditions attached to Register Reference SD05A/0847 and in relation to the importation/dumping of soil. Enforcement File Reference S5609 refers. This file was closed in October 2010. There are no details available on file in relation to the current ownership of the site.

There is no action available to the Planning Authority in relation to the hoarding at the site. However, this matter has been referred to the Council's Derelict Sites and Dangerous Structures Sections for their investigation and direct reply.
