Rural Housecount Survey

The Planning Department is currently carrying out its Annual Rural Housecount Survey. The gardai, in each area have been notified and all staff carry valid Fingal County Council identification. House owners should request to see this identification and if necessary ring the Planning Department to confirm identities at 01 8905670.

This year, in addition to the normal checks on planning permissions, planning staff are confirming the presence and location of septic tanks and proprietary on-site wastewater treatment systems. The purpose of this exercise is to confirm the number and location of such systems within the county. This work will continue over the next month or so.
