QUESTION NO. 1

QUESTION: Councillor T. Gilligan

"In relation to Slade Castle Ave, was gating the community part of the planning permission? can South Dublibn County Council put pressure on the Management Company or relevant parties to sort this out?"

REPLY:

Slade Castle Avenue, located in Saggart village was granted planning permission under SD03A/0276 for a mixed use commercial and residential development in 2004. Subsequently revisions were granted planning permission (under SD05A/0535) to block E, including for the provision of lift access to basement, a commercial bin store adjacent to car park entrance, designated delivery area and the retention of existing basement access stairwell and car park entrance. The planning permission did not reference gating the community. Gated communities are not considered to be sustainable and in this context are not encouraged. Planning permission is required for the provision of a gated community.
