COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, May 23, 2022

MOTION NO.2

MOTION: Councillor L. Whelan

"That this council discuses the issue of clamping at Citywest Quarter where residents are being routinely clamped because of lack of carpark spaces - I have been contacted by a resident who has been clamped serval times in the past couple weeks (125 removal fee, 50 added on for any additional days). Residents have been told underground carpark is full, and they will be put on a list without any timeframe of when or how the issue will be resolved. This includes HAP tenants, and people who are already being squeezed by cost of living crisis - additional fees like such are causing an impact. Can the manager report on the number of car parking spaces in the planning permission and any related issues?"

REPORT:

SDCC has no remit in the clamping of vehicles within private developments which are not Taken In Charge by the Council.  In any event, SDCC's control of parking measures does NOT include clamping. 

Parking spaces are conditioned in planning decisions in line with objectives outlined in the relevant County Development Plan.

Given the level of permitted development in recent years in this vicinity, in order to identify the exact locations and the number of permitted car parking spaces, details of the Planning References / Developers has been requested.
