MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 13

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

To ask the Manager for a detailed update on the taking–in-charge of Rossberry Estate and the grass verge to the access road linking all Rossberry, Tullyhall and Hayden’s Park Estates to Griffeen Avenue?

REPLY:

The open spaces in Rossberry Estate are in the charge of the Council.  The area referred to off Griffeen Avenue has been the subject of discussion with the developer of the estate for some time and outstanding works that the Council has requested to be undertaken have been carried out to the satisfaction of the Parks and Landscape Services Department. The only remaining impediment to Taking in Charge of this area is the submission of the necessary documentation by the developer.  It now appears that the required documentation was to be submitted as part of a previous submission of documentation relevant to other areas adjacent to this particular site and that due to a misunderstanding this was not done.  The developer is now arranging for this matter to be brought to a conclusion shortly.  Prior to the taking in charge of the open space by the Council any signage will be removed by the developer.   The Council has also requested that the area be maintained in a proper manner until the Taking in Charge process is completed.
