COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 24, 2012

QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

To ask the Manager, following-on from the progress reported at the March meeting in response to my longstanding motion, for a further detailed report on the ongoing efforts to secure submission of the necessary legal documentation required for the completion of the taking-in-charge of open space at Rossberry, including the open space along the access road from Griffeen Avenue to Rossberry, Tullyhall and Hayden’s Park estates?

REPLY:

The developer whose responsibility it is to effect the transfer of the open space at this location has been written to by the Council in January 2012.  This letter informed him of the Council’s position on the matter and that the cash security remaining from the completion of the outstanding works in the development will be returned on the completion of the Deed of Transfer.

The developer has confirmed in writing to the Council his intention to proceed with completing the Deed of Transfer in this manner.  The Council continues to press the developer to complete this process in the shortest possible timeframe.

There have been no developments on this issue since the March meeting and the Council will continue to liaise with the developer and keep the Elected Members informed of progress in the matter.
