QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the Chief Executive if he has now made a decision in respect of the enforcement file opened in December last relating to the mast at Sylvain Drive; will he appreciate the local interest in the matter and present an update."

REPLY:

Section 254 licence application reference number S25419/06 was granted on 24th September 2020 for a Telecommunications Streetworks Solution at Sylvan Drive, Kingswood, Co. Dublin. The licence is granted for a period of 3 years. Details of particulars can be found on our website www.sdcc.ie >Services >Planning >Planning Applications >Search and View. An appeal has been made to An Bord Pleanála in relation to S25419/06.

I wish to advise you the planning enforcement section have opened an enforcement file number S8618 in relation to alleged unauthorised development occurring at Sylvan Road, Kingswood. The alleged unauthorised development consists of the erection of a mast without consent from landowner. A warning letter issued to Cignal Infrastructure Ltd and Jason Redmond &Associates dated 11th December 2020. The company/agent may make submissions or observations in writing to the Planning Authority regarding the alleged unauthorised development (which, if true, would constitute an offence under the Planning &Development Acts, 2000 (as amended) not later than four weeks from the date of the service of the Warning Letter, i.e. 12th January 2021. 

As the date for submission has expired, the file has been referred to our planning inspector for site inspection.   Should the Planning Authority, following site investigation, consider that unauthorised development has been carried out, it may decide to issue an Enforcement Notice under Section 154 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended).
