Local Fine Gael Councillor Neale Richmond has called on the Building Control section of Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council to investigate possible planning breaches in Carrickmines Green.

“There are serious concerns about whether Laragan Homes have followed the planning stipulations laid down by Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council.

“The car park does not have adequate drainage and it floods almost every week. As a result of these problems, the car park in Laurel House is always under water to some extent.

“There is also growing concern over a disused crane which has been positioned over an apartment block for nearly two years. No one knows when this crane was last serviced, if it is safe or what damage could be caused if it were to collapse, possibly in high winds.

“I have asked the Council to carry out a full inspection of the site and begin enforcement proceedings against the developer if necessary.”
