Location

Swords is one of the most important north county towns with a population of 44,000 people and a target for up to 100,000 people as a Designated Metropolitan Town by the Local Authority.



The growth of the town is set to continue for many years, contributed to by it's close proximity to Dublin Airport, the M1 Motorway and good access links to Dublin Port, and the proposed developments in public transport such as the Metro-North high speed route linking with the city centre via Dublin Airport and Dublin City University (DCU).

Description

Numbers 42 and 44 North Street comprise two attractive 2 storey granite and red brick fronted houses. No. 44 has been in use as parish offices for many years while no. 42 is a residence, although it has been vacant for some time. The buildings do not interconnect. Both properties are contained on the Register of Protected Structures and extend to a gross internal area of approx 85 sq.m (915 sq.ft) each and both houses have two rooms on ground floor level and four rooms on the first floor. No. 44 has the benefit of a vehicular side entrance leading from a private laneway.

Town Planning

The properties are situated in an area zoned MC - Major Town Centre under the Fingal Development Plan 2005-2011. This zoning is “to protect, provide for and/or improve major town centre facilities”. Under this land use zoning objective many uses are permitted in principle and the buildings offer potential for change of use to Child Care Facilities, Medical Centre, Doctor/Dentist, Educational Use, Office uses generally of all sizes, Restaurant/Café, Residential and Veterinary Surgery, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and consents. A new Swords Town Plan is under consideration by Fingal County Council.

Both houses are contained on the Register of Protected Structures.
