D	ESTATES WHERE TAKING IN CHARGE WORKS ARE STILL OUTSTANDING
	Aylmer Heath	Newcastle	Knightstone 
	Development
	The development commenced in late 2006, 
	with the stated proposal for the completion of 
	80 units. Permission expired in August 2010 
	and only 49 of overall total permitted 
	development of 112 were completed.  
	Following the issue of an enforcement warning 
	letter, the developer, Knightsone Construction 
	has contacted SDCC. Meetings have taken 
	place in April and July 2012 and also 2 site 
	inspections. The Council has outlined its list 
	of works required and it is understood that the 
	developer is now to approach NAMA/AIB 
	regarding the funding of remedial works and it 
	is therefore hoped that this will give a greater 
	likelihood of completion There has been no firm
	commitment from the developer in this regard 
	despite meetings during the year and as a 
	consequence the Council has no option 
	but to claim on the bond . The option of 
	enforcement is also available to the Council  
	and this has been advised to the developer.

	Developments
	Residential Development of 743 dwellings, 
	including a neighbourhood centre and creche.
	 Permission is for 8 years, not expiring until 
	August 2014, but some parts of the 
	development are subject of permissions 
	expiring later. 	House construction not yet complete. 	
	Receiver has carried out some works to tidy up
	 the entrance area and 	has authorised the 
	developer to make a Taking in Charge request 
	for part of the development. It has been 
	clarified that construction access for later stages
	 of development is possible by routes other 
	than the existing access road which opens up 
	the possibility of taking in charge for some of 
	the development.  The developer (funded by 
	the receiver )was engaged with the Council in 
	preparing TIC package for some parts of the 
	development, services for a total of 250 units 
	may be involved.  A liquidator is now appointed and 
	the Council requested the CCTV and as constructed drawings 
	for those parts which may be taken in charge to initiate 
	the process and a further meeting is scheduled with 
	Liquidator to seek resolution. 
	Management Agreement received for part of 
	the development. Substantial security 
	remains in place.
