9.6 PROPERTY
N7 Naas Road Widening & Interchanges Scheme
Lisney, Chartered Surveyors were engaged to assess the impact on property along the
proposed route. Only the effects of demolition and loss of land are considered, while
other impacts such as noise and vibration, and visual impact are considered in their
relevant sections. Agricultural and Bloodstock holdings affected are also considered
under separate sections of this report.
The scheme impacts on property in one of the following ways:
• the acquisition of the entire property or dwelling;
• the acquisition of part of the property curtilage;
• the removal or alteration of the existing access.
9.6.1 DWELLING HOUSES TO BE ACQUIRED
The scheme will require the acquisition of 14 dwelling houses along the route, two of
which have been classed as unfit for human habitation. These are identified in Table
9.6.1. Property owners, whose dwelling houses are to be acquired under the scheme,
will be appropriately compensated for loss of dwelling and injurious affection.
9.6.2 CURTILAGE OF PROPERTY TO BE ACQUIRED
In addition to the above, approximately 30 dwelling houses along the route will be
affected by acquisition of part of the property curtilage. The amount of landtake varies
according to dwelling and location.
In addition to residential properties, 17 business properties along the route will be
affected by the scheme.
Two amenity properties are affected by the acquisition of part of the site area as a result
of the proposed scheme.
Affected property owners will be appropriately compensated for the loss of land and
injurious affection.
9.6.3 ENTRANCES AFFECTED BY PROPOSED SCHEME
Approximately 24 dwelling houses will require the re-grading, reconstruction or an
alternative entrance to be provided as a result of the improvements. Suitable entrances
will be agreed with the individual landowners involved.
