Site at the rear of Dundrum Library known as the former HSE Health Centre and Dispensary and the removal of Restrictive Covenants – Select Vestry of Taney Parish Church Background to proposed Disposal of land In August 2012, the County Council completed the purchase of an area of land measuring 1832.23 sq. metres (Site A on attached Map) to the rear of Dundrum Library, Dundrum, Dublin 14. The Council’s interest in the site is contained in Property Registration Authority Folio No. 216620E. The site was purchased from the Health Service Executive with 2 Restrictive Covenants attached as follows :- 1. Not to build any building on the site other than a dispensary and welfare clinic. 2. A covenant that no building shall exceed 25ft in height. The Council has been negotiating for the removal of these Restrictive Covenants with the Representatives of the Select Vestry of Taney Parish Church for some time. The negotiations have resulted in agreement in principle between the parties for the removal of the Restrictive Covenants subject to the following :- The disposal of a site adjacent to “Peach Cottage”, Upper Churchtown Road (leading to Sweetmount Park), Churchtown, Dublin 14 (Site B on attached Map) to the Select Vestry of Taney Parish Church subject to the formal procedures set out in Section 183 of the Local Government Act, 2001 for it’s incorporation into the Graveyard.

The Council agrees not to create any nuisance and, in particular, not to allow any noise on the site to the rear of the Library during the time of any funeral in the adjoining Graveyard. The payment by the Council of a Cash Contribution towards the cost of professional fees incurred by Taney Parish in connection with the implementation of their plans to provide toilet facilities and to develop a Columbarium that will serve the whole community on the site. Therefore, it is proposed to enter into an agreement with the Representatives of Taney Parish Church & Graveyard for the removal of the restrictive Covenants subject to the conditions set out above.
