SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL - ALLOTMENTS

South Dublin County Council currently has four allotment sites throughout its administrative area, containing a total of 255 plots.

The Council acquires land and property by agreement, by Compulsory Purchase Order or by Deed of Dedication for the provision of motorways and roads, housing, open spaces, green areas, community facilities, industrial development, parks and environmental services.

Ground Rent is charged on those tenants whose dwellings were built on Council owned land. The Council is therefore the Landlord but these dwellings are not Council houses.

The Council disposes of lands which are surplus to its statutory requirements for community, recreational, residential and commercial uses and in the interests of good estate management (elimination of sources of anti-social behaviour etc).

Tallaght and Clondalkin Integrated Area Plans Urban Renewal Scheme 1999 -2006

In 1999 the Council, in partnership with a number of local development groups produced Integrated Area Plans (IAP’s) for both Tallaght and Clondalkin. Both plans were produced in the context of addressing the physical, economic, social and environmental regeneration of the town centres and in the adjoining disadvantaged residential areas.
