COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE/FIRHOUSE/BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, October 08, 2019

QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor B. Lawlor

To ask the Chief Executive has planning enforcement taking any action resolving the structural failure of Balconies in Hunter's wood estate  

 

REPLY:

Hunters Wood development was constructed in the early to mid 2000's and is therefore outside of the time limit for the Council to take enforcement action under Building Control legislation. Any remedial works therefore are a private matter for the individual property owners.

The Council however has been in contact with the property management agents and understand that it (ie the agents) have already carried out remedial works on the worst balconies on behalf of the owners while others remain untouched or have temporary supports in place.

An AGM is scheduled for 09 Oct next where it will be decided on what works if any, will be carried out in the future.
