MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, October 27, 2015

MOTION NO. 13

MOTION: Councillor D. O'Brien

"That the Chief Executive present a report for discussion on the council owned site known as Fassinidges in Palmerstown. What plan does the council have to use this site? Will it be used for housing or will it be used for community use."

REPORT:

At a meeting of the Council on 23rd October 2014, the members agreed that the subject site known as Fassinidges in Palmerstown be brought to the market with a brief for a development similar to the Valhalla project in Clondalkin village. A relevant brief with a requirement that the site be developed as supervised sheltered accommodation was subsequently prepared and the site advertised for sale in the public press on 29/5/15.

The single bid received was duly examined in consultation with the Council Valuer. The Valuer did not recommend disposal in accordance with the bid received. Further options to secure development of the site in accordance with the sentiments of the members will continue to be explored.
