QUESTION NO.6

QUESTION: Councillor D. McManus

To ask the Chief Executive what options are available to SDCC if private green space land identified for taking in charge as part of a developer's construction of new homes in the RTFB area has not been completed by the developer, if SDCC may demand that the developer completes the taking in charge process, as SDCC's claim over the land is recorded with the Land Registry but the taking in charge application has not been completed? The section of land and taking in charge dates back to 1980s.

REPLY:

South Dublin County Council has taken the Green Space between Dodder View Road and Brookvale Downs into its charge for some time.  South Dublin County Council are maintaining the grassed area and the mature trees as a green corridor.  The parks section of South Dublin County Council have reported that they are happy with the arrangements that are currently in place in relation to the management of this green corridor at this location.
