Cathaoirleach's Business

"That this Committee discusses the taking in charge of the Stonepark/Longwood open space – I was told April 2010  that “……the public open space to be transferred by the Developer on completion of both estates.  The Solicitor for the Developer confirmed week-ending 2nd April 20l0 that the documentation in relation to the Deed of Tranter will be forwarded to the Council no later than Mid April 20l0.ENDS  To state in the report what is causing the delay? And when you hope to have it finalized."

REPORT:

The open space known as the “compound site” has been the subject of discussion with the developer and his solicitor over the past year with the objective of having it taken in charge by the Council.

Since the documentation has now been submitted and the area forms part of an important entrance into the two estates the Council has commenced maintenance of it and it is included in the regular maintenance programme for the area.

The solicitor for the developer has submitted documentation that will allow for the open space to be formally taken in charge by the Council subject to the usual examination of the documentation by the Council’s Law Department.  This process is ongoing.
