SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE
Thursday, September 15, 2016
QUESTION NO. 20
QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor
"To ask the Chief Executive to present a report on his dealings in respect of the so called ESSO site at Tallaght Village detailing actions taken and planned in respect of the works which were carried out and will he also confirm any contacts he has had with owners of the site?"
REPLY:
The Council’s Architectural Conservation Officer visited the site following a complaint and reported that the old hand-built stone wall remains in-situ, and therefore no enforcement action is warranted in respect of this matter.
An enforcement investigation is currently being carried out under Enf. File S7755 and a warning letter issued to the owner on 30th August 2016 in relation to alleged unauthorised development consisting of the creation of a car park and erection of galvanised fencing without the benefit of planning permission.
As a person served with this letter the owner/occupier may make submissions or observations in writing to the Planning Authority regarding the above (which, if true, would constitute an offence under the Planning & Development Acts, 2000 (as amended) not later than four weeks from the date of the service on the owner of the Warning Letter, i.e.29th September 2016.
Should the Planning Authority, following investigation, consider that the above described or other unauthorised development has been carried out, it may decide to issue an Enforcement Notice under Section 154 of the Planning and Development Act, 2000 (as amended).
