REPORT:  

The Register of Derelict Sites is maintained by the Council pursuant to Section 8 (1) of the Derelict Sites Act 1990. Sites/properties that constitute derelict sites within the definition contained in Section 3 of the Derelict Sites Act, 1990 are entered on the Register of Derelict Sites. Sites that are under investigation are not routinely entered on the register until such time as investigations are completed and a determination made that the site is derelict.
In accordance with Section 3 of the Derelict Sites Act, l990 a derelict site is defined as:
Any land which detracts, or is likely to detract, to a material degree from the amenity, character or appearance of land in the neighbourhood of the land in question because of –
(a) the existence on the land in question of structures which are in a ruinous, derelict or dangerous condition, or
(b) the neglected, unsightly or objectionable condition of the land or any structures on the land in question or,
(c) the presence, deposit or collection on the land in question of any litter, rubbish, debris or waste, except where the presence, deposit or collection of such litter, rubbish, debris or waste results from the exercise of a right conferred by statute or by common law.

The Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) process has already started for the first property in question. The second property was recently inspected and the CPO process will start for this property shortly also.
