FINGAL COUNTY COUNCIL
BALBRIGGAN/SWORDS AREA COMMITTEE MEETING
(Services B – Strategic & General Matters)
THURSDAY 10TH JANUARY 2019
ITEM NO. 37
DERELICT BUILDINGS MAIN STREET, RUSH
Motion: Councillor B. Dennehy
"That this Committee calls upon the Chief Executive to inform the
meeting as to the number of complaints received to date regarding
the dire state the derelict houses subject of planning permission
F12A/0225 and outline what measures are open to make the property
owners remove / make good the eyesore on the Main Street Rush."
Report:
There are 7 complainants with respect to the condition of the buildings at
the location in question. In general where issues around the condition of
buildings arise matters can be pursued under the Derelict Sites Act. Often
issues can be resolved by dialogue as the Council interacts with the
relevant parties. The Council’s intention to interact with the owners of the
site and their representatives was set out at the Balbriggan Swords Area
Committee in November 2018. Since the November 2018 Area Committee
meeting the Council has been in contact verbally and in writing with the
owners and their representatives with respect to matters relating to the
location in question. This contact will continue with a view to progressing
matters around the condition and appearance of the site. The matter will
be reviewed shortly to determine if further action is necessary.
