COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/FONTHILL AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, October 22, 2019

QUESTION NO. 22

To ask the Chief Executive to provide an update report on Larkfield House, Coldcut Road including the current planning situation and actions being taken by the council regarding planning breaches?"

REPLY:

This development is the subject of an open planning enforcement investigation under reference S7896.

A Warning Letter issued on 22 July 2019 regarding the outstanding compliances of planning permission granted under Register Reference SD18A/0285 and the Council is now considering what further action to take.

It should be noted that the Council cannot provide this Committee with specific updates on the progression of planning enforcement actions outside of that previously available in the public realm. These actions can result in criminal penalties for the respondent and, on the advice of counsel, must not be discussed in an open forum. For that reason, the Council may only provide this Committee with the statutory updates on specific files, i.e. at the issuance of a warning letter, the issuance of an enforcement notice and at an investigation's conclusion.
