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. 
	The Parks Department have confirmed that 
	all lansdcaping works are complete in relation 
	to this permission. The developer originally 
	submittted incorrect drawings and CCTV 
	which were returned. Amended drawings and 
	CCTV have now been received by Building 
	Control and have been forwarded to 
	Environmental Services for approval.
	27	Moy Glas (Phase 2)	Lucan	Castlethorn/Cou
	rtland/Lyncourt
	27 units involved. The majority of this estate 
	is taken in charge. Remainder of roads would 
	be ready to be recommended for taking in 
	charge, if completion of some works 
	repairs to watermains and hedging was 
	achieved. To progress taking in charge the 
	developer has been requested to submit CCTV
	 for a small stretch of road not yet taken in 
	charge. Bond remains in place.
	252	The Paddocks	Lucan	Mapelwood 
	Homes Ltd
	Mixed residential development. A receiver has 
	been appointed for this development. The 
	receiver has been notified of security held and 
	provided with contacts for a joint site 
	inspection. The receiver controls a number of 
	assets of Maplewood, but given the level of 
	occupancy in the Paddocks and other factors, 
	he has been asked to prioritise a taking in 
	charge package for this development. 
	Consultations have also continued with 
	developer (who is dependent on funding from 
	the receiver) regarding taking in charge. Minor 
	surface works completed however final surfacing 
	of entrance road will be required and the 
	Council are awaiting  submission of taking in 
	charge package from the receiver.

	Permission is for 64 units. 8 No. 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. 
	Issues with public lighting and foul sewage 
	System have arisen and the 
	Council has contacted the developer and 
	advised that enforcement action will be taken

	has agreed to resolve these issues.
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 resulting from 
	the dissolution of the developers company. 
	Legal advice received in this matter and the 
	Council have written to the Chief State 
	Solicitors office to seek consent to proceed

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 are considering submissions 
	received.
J	ESTATES WHERE BOND IS BEING CLAIMED
	224	Hansted	Lucan	McInerney 
	Construction
	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 
	occurred in late April. Surface works have been
	 identified and the Council is liaising with the 
	agent on CCTV of services. Bondholder has 
	verbally indicated that it is likely that payment
	will be made to the Council when works 
	agreed, rather than a contractor being engaged 
	by them. The consultants are carrying out an 
	assessment of the remedial works and the 
	Council have written to them to get an update.
