D	ESTATES WHERE TAKING IN CHARGE WORKS ARE STILL OUTSTANDING
	110	Mount Bellew	Lucan	Fitzgibbon Bros
	Owing to the failure of Fitzgibbon Bros to 
	complete works, a claim was placed on the 
	bond in 2011. Following discussions with
	the bondholder and the Council, the developer
    has since returned to the site and 
	completed the remaining surface works. 
	After completion of surface works the 
	Council received up dated as constructed 
	drawings but we still await updated copies of 
	the CCTV survey and report from Fitzgibbon 
	Brothers. The CIF are liaising with the 
	developer to expedite this last stage in the 
	taking in charge process. The Parks 
	Department have confirmed that all 
	landscaping works are complete in relation
	to this permission.

	completion of some works repairs to 
	watermains and hedging was achieved. 
	The developer has engaged with the 
	Council during March and is currently 
	reviewing a list of works remaining and is to 
	revert with a schedule for completion of same.

	15	Tullyhall (Phase 3)	Lucan	Eleveden 
	Properties Ltd
	Less than 15 units built and some occupied. 
	Works have ceased on this site at present 
	however the remaining site is secured. An 
	extension of duration for the permission  has 
	been granted and security remains in place in 
	relation to the 	permission. Issues with public
	 lighting have arisen and the Council is 
	contacting the developer on the matter and may
	 initiate enforcement action if the matter 
	is not addressed.
F1	ESTATES SUBJECT TO LEGAL DIFFICULTIES:
	4	Cnoc Aoibheann	Lucan	Weston 
	Properties Ltd.
	The remaining issue with the taking in charge 
	of this development are some legal queries in 
	connection with the land folios. This query has
	 been refered to the Councils Law Department 
	for clarification.
	3	Copse	Lucan	Weston 
	Properties Ltd
	The remaining issue with the taking in charge 
	of this development are some legal queries in 
	connection with the land folios. This query has
	 been refered to the Councils Law Department 
	for clarification.
	235	Larkfield	Lucan	Fitzgibbon Bros
	Following discussions with the bondholder, 
	the developer returned to site and completed 
	minor works and submitted CCTV surveys. 
	The Council has reviewed the CCTV and the 
	underground services have been approved. 
	The significant issues at present are wayleaves 
	for the Council to access services in both a 
	square area to the front of  the development 
	operated by a management company and 
	gaining access to a public lighting standard 
	and underground services resulting from the 
	enclosure of such services in areas enclosed by 
	boundary walls of residents properties. This 
	matter has been referred to the Councils Law 
	Dept for advice. If  the Council cannot access 
	services it will be a barrier to taking in charge.

f2	ESTATES SUBJECT TO ENFORCEMENT ACTION:
	108	Rossberry	Lucan	Kingscroft Ltd 
	& Hollioake Ltd
	Two developers built Rossberry, Kingscroft 
	and Hollioake. 
	The Council has claimed security lodged for 
	completion of remedial works to part of the
	development carried out by Hollioake. 
	However the estate as a whole cannot be taken 
	in charge as the Council requires unfettered 
	access to services and in the part developed by 
	Kingscroft, there remain significant issues 
	with residents having built walls etc blocking 
	access to various public services; manholes, 
	hydrants and public lighting. The Council has 
	served enforcement notices relating to the 
	unauthorised developments blocking access to 
	services and the period for compliance with the
	notices expires on 24th May 2012.

	Despite initial favourable indication about 
	completion of works by the receiver last year,
	 matter did not progress and the Council 
	placed claim on bond 	in Oct 2011. The 
	bondholder has advised in writing (March 
	2012) of their intention to honour the bond and
	 have hired agents to liaise with the Council 
	on agreeing the value of works subject of the 
	claim. A meeting of relevant Council technical 
	staff and the technical staff of the consultant is 
	to be arranged.
