The preparation of this site for development is, in the first instance, a matter for Dublin City Council and is outside of the Ballymun Regeneration Project. I understand that to facilitate the development of the site, the Council has identified a need to construct the Shangan surface water attenuation pond, which it is proposed to situate in the area to the front of the Shangan Neighbourhood Centre.

However, to carry out these attenuation works, it is necessary for the Council to review and update the Surface Water Masterplan for this area, to ensure that provision is made to adequately cater for the proposed quantum of development in the area and beyond.
