As outlined in previous replies to the Balbriggan/Swords Area Committee
statutory notices to enter the site on the Derelict Sites register have issued
to the site owner under the Derelict Sites Act. A Section 22 Notice issued on
the 12th November 2019 with respect to the valuation of the site which is a
statutory requirement as enforcement advances to the next stage under
the Derelict Sites Act. The site owner was advised that an annual levy
equating to 7% of the market valuation of the site can be charged.
Any appeal on a site valuation on a Section 22 Notice is made to the
Valuation Tribunal and must be made within 28 days of the issue of the
Section 22 Notice. To date, the Council has not been made aware of any
such appeal in this case.
