MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO.16

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

To ask the Chief Executive if a survey has been carried out of vacant sites in our County (similar to the survey recently conducted by Dublin City Council) to identify sites that may be subject to the proposed new Vacant Sites Levy; and if so to provide details of the number and locations of these sites?

REPLY:

The Council has not began a formal process of identifying vacant sites under the Propsoed New vacant Sites Levy.  However it is considered that there would be a number of potential sites that could be considered for such a levy and this matter can be considered during the County Development Plan Review.  The formulation of a  list of vacant sites would be subject to the issuing of guidelines by the Department of Environment, Community and Local Government.
