MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor T. Gilligan

To ask the Manager to outline unauthorised development detected in 2011/2012;  planning enforcement notices not complied with in 2011/2012;  also broken down into the respective local areas?

REPLY:

There were 333 new complaints investigated by Planning Enforcement in 2011 and 263 new complaints investigated in 2012.

In 2011 there were 19 cases where legal proceedings were initiated for non-compliance with Enforcement Notices and in 2012 there were 14 cases where legal proceedings were initiated for non-compliance with Enforcement Notices.

There is limited crossover between the figures for complaints and legal proceedings given the timescales involved in the planning enforcement process.

This historical data is not collated in a manner which facilitates the breakdown into local areas.
