QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor M. Johansson

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on legal actions taken against planning breaches at Larkfield House, Coldcut Rd?

REPLY:

While planning permission (SD18A/0285 refers) was granted for 37 units at this location, actual on-site development consisted of 44 units.

A subsequent application (SD20A/0117 refers) was made by the developer which had a split decision as follows: 

 Grant Permission for (a) 49 car spaces to be accessed from Coldcut Road and 18 bicycle spaces, (b) Landscaping including communal public open space and 1 playground, (c0 1 ESB substation, (d) Boundary treatment AND  ALL ASSOCIATED SITE AND ENGINEERING WORKS.

Refuse permission for retention of 7 apartments units in lieu of the permitted 37 apartments under SD18A/0285 to now provide for 44 units and (b) p.p. for revisions to the permitted layout under SD18A/0285 and SD16A/0249.

In accordance with S 151 of the Planning & Development Act 2000, as amended, any person who has carried out or is carrying out unauthorised development shall be guilty of an offence, and anyone who has undertaken unauthorised development may be subject to enforcement proceedings.

The Council has now initiated a process under Part V111 of the Planning & Development Act 2000, as amended, in relation to this unauthorised development.
