A detailed study of infill sites owned by South Dublin County Council was carried out in late 2014. These sites were reviewed under criteria of –

• Size
• Accessibility
• Utility      constraints and buried pipework
• Flooding      history
• Impact on      adjoining community
• Overall      suitability

Sketch designs were prepared to estimate yield and a series of informal briefings held with each Area Committee. Following these meetings a list of sites suitable for Part 8 Display and Consultation has been drawn up. In this committees area the sites are at

• Ballyboden
• Stocking Lane.

It is considered that somewhere in the region of 75 houses will be possible on these 2 sites 

The County Architect is continuing to examine any Council owned land with a view to its possibility for housing development.
