QUESTION NO. 20

QUESTION: Councillor L. Dunne

"To ask the Chief Executive if SDCC own any land in the Fortunestown area?  If so, can you please advise where these lands are and if there are plans for these lands?  In addition, are they zoned for schools, community, parks or residential?"

REPLY:

"The Council owns lands in the Fortunestown area, primarily to the east of the Fortunestown Local Area Plan (LAP) lands. The lands owned are primarily existing housing estates with associated open spaces including the recent Part 8 at St. Aidans.

Within the LAP itself, there are some lands owned by the Council including certain roads and one area to the east within the Mac Uilliam housing estate which provides for play spaces for children of different ages, a wider open space and recently constructed residential units under Part 8.

Any Council owned lands that are planned for development in the future will be subject to a Part 8 process from the service department managing the project. Similarly, any SDCC owned plots that are proposed to be disposed to an outside party require the authorisation of the elected members in accordance with Section 211 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 and subject to the provisions of Section 183 of the Local Government Act 2001."
