Coastal erosion in north Co, Dublin/Fingal?

I've been looking at this site for sale - https://www.myhome.ie/residential/brochure/skerries-road-c-8-56-acres-3-46-ha-balbriggan/4647476 - for some time. It's a substantial 3.46 hectare (2.5 acres per hectare) in a stunning location next to the beach for €200k. I can only surmise, if not assume, it's not selling because coastal erosion is considerable and there's obviously not much point building a house there.

Is this the reason? How bad is coastal erosion in Fingal? Is any government body tracking coastal erosion? Where could I find the available records on the pace of land loss because of coastal erosion? Thanks.

That site is zoned 'High Amenity' from what I saw in the Development Plan.

AFAIK, Fingal no longer allow new residential development on the coast side of the Skerries/Balbriggan Road. It is highly unlikely that you'd be successful in getting that re-zoned as Residential. That's why it isn't selling.

Fingal HA zoning in consultation development plan 2023-2029 would seem to allow some scope for development that meets the relevent criteria, maybe OP might consider building a B&B
