COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN, NEWCASTLE, RATHCOOLE, SAGGART AND BRITTAS AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 18

MOTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin

That this Area Committee agrees to take in charge the walkway along the Camac River between Woodford Walk and Knockmitten Park that was supposed to be ceded to it, after it´s landscaping, as condition 22 of Planning Application, S01A/0186.

REPORT:

Condition 22 does say the land between the Camac river and the apartments should be ceded to the Council after completion of the development.  I have no written proof that this was formally completed.

In addition, the proposed footpath is currently a rough path and grassed area, not fit for safe public access.  Significant monies would be needed to design and construct a safe walking route along this strip of land.  SDCC could not take it in charge until these works were completed to a Taking in Charge standard.
