MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
Monday, September 26, 2016
QUESTION NO.1
QUESTION: Councillor L. Dunne
To ask the Chief Executive how much land is owned by South Dublin County Council that is zoned for housing, also to give a breakdown of this land in each LEA in the County.
REPLY:
A detailed report on the Councils land bank for potential development sites for Housing needs was brought before a special meeting of the Organisation, Procedures and Finance Committee on 23rd October 2014. A further report on Social Housing proposals was also brought to the March 2015 County Council Meeting which detailed a study of infill sites owned by South Dublin County Council for potential development.
The Council is legally obliged to maintain a property register. It must be emphasised that the Councils land bank is strategically and economically sensitive. For these reasons it is strongly recommended that the Register be maintained in, and made available only by, the Development Dept. Any enquiries in this regard will be dealt with by staff in that Department.
As agreed at the Housing SPC, a separate informal meeting will be held with the Elected Members of that SPC to go through the Council’s land portfolio.
