QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor J. Spear

"Can the Manager please give an update on the CPO proceedings that were initiated on the properties on the derelict sites registry in Tallaght? Please include when the owner was notified, the response from the owner, and what steps the Council is taking for each property.

REPLY:

Under the provisions of the Derelict Sites Act 1990, South Dublin County Council has recently served Section 15, Notices of Intention to Acquire on two properties in the Tallaght area. The first notice was served on 19^th June and the other was served on 30^th October. Both Section 15 Notices were published in local and national newspapers, listed on the SDCC website and affixed to the respective properties. The Section 15 Notices were also sent by registered post to the registered owner of the properties and legal representatives where applicable.

SDCC received initial correspondence and a subsequent formal appeal, in response to the serving of one Section 15 Notice. The content of the correspondence and subsequent appeal was referred to the Law department for review. A decision was subsequently taken to refer both the initial correspondence and the formal appeal to An Coimisiún Pleanála (ACP), as outlined in Section 16 of the Derelict Sites Act 1990.

Following consultation with ACP, SDCC has written to the legal representatives of the registered owner of this property, on 4^th November. SDCC has reiterated our position on this property and highlighted the actions that have taken so far under the Derelict Sites Act 1990.

SDCC has received no correspondence in relation to the other property in the Tallaght area, following the serving of a Section 15 Notice. An appeal can be submitted up to the 24^th of November. Should an appeal not be received before the deadline, SDCC will proceed to vesting the title of this property.
