COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 7

MOTION: Councillor T. Gilligan

"That the Chief Executive outlines the situation regarding laneways in the Moorefield Area between 2 houses. Can this land be disposed of to one or both of the houses to tackle the illegal dumping issue."

REPORT:

The Public Right Of Way has been extinguished in the vast majority of the gated laneways in Moorfield Area, which in theory would allow disposal of land to the dwellings that surround it. However, this will vary depending on whether it is a council house or a privately owned house. If it is a private house the householder will need to make contact with Council’s Land Disposal section for their guidelines in this regard. Should it be a council property, a written application setting out the details of how the householder plans to incorporate the area in question must be submitted to the Housing Maintenance section for their consideration. The Estate Management Section would have no objection to the incorporation of laneways in this Estate subject to checking with other Departments to see if there are any issues or services/utilities underneath the laneways that would prevent this process.
