COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE
Tuesday, May 11, 2010
HEADED ITEM NO. 11
LORETO ABBEY
Flooding in Carpark – Condition 11
As previously reported, Enforcement proceedings were initiated against Lozeto Limited for non-compliance with condition 11 of planning permission Register Reference S00A/0554 insofar as it relates to the drainage arrangements on the site.
This matter was due in court on 4th May last but the case was not heard. It has been relisted, and the Council’s solicitor has advised that it is unlikely to be heard before 15th June next.
An Enforcement Notice regarding this matter has also been served on Danninger Limited, the company which apparently carried out the development, and in whose name the bond for completion of works was lodged.
Legal proceedings will be instituted on foot of this Enforcement Notice also.
Bond – Condition 26
The Council has submitted a claim to De Montford Insurance Company PLC on the bond of €465,964, lodged under Condition 26 “….. to secure the provision and satisfactory completion of roads, sewers, watermains, drains, car parks, open spaces, tree protection and other services required in connection with the development, ….”
Although there has been some correspondence on the matter, to date there has been no indication of a positive response, and the Council’s solicitor has been asked to advise on how to proceed.
