Compulsory Purchase Order
A Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) has been prepared in order to acquire
the lands necessary to give effect to the objectives of the County
Development Plan and in particular the Greystones Harbour and North Beach
Action Plan. The CPO was served on owners and occupiers of lands required to
secure these objectives including the Minister for Finance in respect of
lands below the High Water Mark.
The compulsory acquisition of the foreshore is a new power conferred on
local authorities under Section 227 of the Planning and Development Act,
2000. Previously a foreshore licence would have been required from the
Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources. In addition to
state lands the CPO includes lands in the ownership of Greystones Sailing
Club, Greystones Ridge Angling Club, JJ Burke & Sons and Tracey Enterprises
Limited.
As part of the CPO procedure Rights of Way will be extinguished in order
to allow development to take place. These Rights of Way relate mainly to
existing pathways, however, access to the Cliff Walk will be maintained at
all times and bidders for the PPP project have been required to ensure that
both temporary access is maintained during construction works and that
permanent and improved access is provided on completion of the project.
The CPO was on public display and 138 submissions were received by An
Bord Pleanala by the closing date of 18th February 2005.
