Members of Greystones Municipal District received an update last week on council-owned lands at Mill Road, presented by Christine Flood and Sorcha Walsh.
The council has been engaging with the HSE regarding providing a site for a primary health care centre for Greystones.
The LAP sets out that any redevelopment of the lands owned should be on foot of an agreed master plan.
A section of around six acres previously part-used as a council depot and treatment works is being considered for sale separately to the HSE, but a final decision hasn t been made on this. They need to ensure that any sale does not prejudice the development of the remainder.
